As well as supplying innovative devices, Intuitive Therapeutics believes that providing high-quality personalised training and support is an essential component of empowering people to leverage technology to unleash the very best of health and quality of life. We therefore offer first-class, one-to-one initial and ongoing training and support.

In this way we are often able to exceed the service provided by our larger competitors. We have a reputation amongst our existing customer base for advanced product knowledge and quick, reliable and friendly service.
Our Team
Samuel Leathwick
Samuel has over 25 years’ lived experience with type one diabetes. A self-professed artificial pancreas geek, he was an early adopter of several so-called DIY Artificial Pancreas Systems.
Eager to see this life-changing technology become more widely available, he had a founding role in the charitable organisation, Nightscout New Zealand.
Having benefitted first-hand from the liberation and simplicity offered by the very latest closed-loop glucose management systems, Samuel is passionate about making this technology widely available to people with diabetes living in New Zealand.
Sam Williams
With nearly 20 years of lived experience with type one diabetes, Sam is a passionate advocate for technology-driven diabetes management.
A confessed "late adopter" turned enthusiastic champion of open-source systems and patch pumps, she has experienced first-hand how these tools can dramatically reduce the burden of daily diabetes management.
Sam leverages her personal experience and background in retail management to connect with and empower others from all walks of life and at all ages and stages of their diabetes journey.
