Hi! I’m Meghan Sharkus and being the CEO of ExpressionMed continues to be the most challenging and rewarding  experience of my life. Since starting this company in the summer of 2015 I have spent countless days in adhesive research centers, legal offices, and manufacturing facilities learning as much as I can  about making the perfect tape for one of the most inspiring groups of people I know: the diabetes community. 

Hi! I'm Alexa Burmester and I am looking forward to working as the Communications Lead for ExpressionMed! I graduated from De Forest HighSchool. I begin classes this fall at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, majoring in business management with the intent of then continuing on to law school. I spend my free time traveling, along with going to concerts and festivals. I believe communication is the basis for building strong relationships with those around you, so I am excited to have the opportunity to connect with so many empowering individuals within this community during my time with ExpressionMed. As someone who has been personally impacted by the negative effects of diabetes, it is an honor to be part of a company looking to bring forward positivity. Thank you all for continuing to inspire me and push me to help those around me to the best of my ability!

Go to the Kickstarter now, or read on to learn more :)

Hi my name is Meghan, the 19 year old founder that hopes to simplify diabetic care and add fun to daily routines. 

ExpressionMed has already sent adhesives to over 200 people in 24 states and 4 different countries. Our tape has been called a "site savor" a "life changer" and a "huge help". Our tape stays on for weeks at a time without fraying or peeling. It is comfortable and soft so wearers almost don't notice it's there. 

I have been hand making these tapes for months and because I was able to change the lives of hundreds of families with diabetes, I know I need to be able to make them faster and more efficiently. If we can get this Kickstarter funded by Saturday March 11th. I can start manufacturing now and get this product sent out to the families that order ASAP, and I will have time to create new shapes and design for new product like the Enlite and Pod.

How Do I buy?

Through this link you can either buy 1 box, 6 boxes, or 12 boxes. Each box has 5 tapes. At twelve boxes you can buy for as low as $9 per box. Families can get the tapes to stay for more than 2 weeks. This is like 10 weeks of coverage for only $1 and you can mix and match your designs when you choose multiple boxes. If you order 6 or 12 boxes. You will get a link to order hand made samples so you can try the tape before the final product shows up at your door at the end of the campaign :) Enjoy!

The campaign may end in April but the sooner you support, the sooner we can start manufacturing and the more design options you will have available to you. So support today! 

How do I support? 

Within the Kickstarter tiers you will find supporter tiers. This will let you donate to the cause and receive things like an Expression wristband, laptop sticker, camelback waterbottle and T-shirt in return. You can feel good about helping families with diabetes and have some cool swag to show off that you support new startups in the medical space!

This is a timely matter so support today and share the Kickstarter with your friends and family! 

Thank you!
