Lilly Diabetes Journey Awards™

The Lilly Diabetes Journey Awards™ program, formerly known as LillyforLife, recognizes diabetes patients in the US who have successfully managed their disease with the help of insulin for 25, 50, or 75 years or more. Since 1974, Lilly has presented more than 2,500 medals to people affected by diabetes who use insulin. These individuals serve as an inspiration to all people affected by diabetes for learning how to manage their disease and adapting to the ever-changing technology of diabetes care throughout their diabetes journey.

Medals

Qualifying individuals will receive either an engraved bronze 25-year medal, silver 50-year medal, or gold 75-year medal. Managing diabetes successfully means learning how to administer daily insulin doses, eating healthy foods, checking blood sugar (glucose) levels, and exercising regularly. The Lilly Diabetes Journey Awards honorees serve as inspiration to all people affected by diabetes.

Applying for the Lilly Diabetes Journey Awards

Medals are presented to patients in the US throughout the year. Interested individuals are required to submit the application for official consideration. Following approval, individuals will receive an engraved medal by US mail.
