Diabetics often hear the word “no” when it comes to what they can eat. But in this spot directed by Mark Molloy of SMUGGLER for client Abbott Laboratories/Freestyle Libre out of agency Anomaly NY, all the “no” responses heard in humor-tinged scenarios turn ultimately to a “know” as patients find out their glucose levels which enable them to make informed dietary decisions.

Titled “Now You Know” in reference to the knowledge gained via the Freestyle Libre meter, the commercial consists of relatable moments coupling humanity and humor to nurture empathy for what diabetes patients experience.
