Welcome to Season 7 of Dia-Logue: The Diapoint Podcast, where we're turning the tables! You've heard Pam Durant interview experts, share knowledge, and bring important conversations about diabetes to life, but how much do you know about the personal journey behind Diapoint? This season, Diapoint's Marketing Manager, Toka, takes the interviewer's seat to bring you closer to the woman behind Diapoint. Through personal conversations with Founder Pam Durant, we'll explore her experiences raising a son with Type 1 diabetes, the challenges and lessons that shaped her journey, and the stories behind the work she does today. In our first episode, we're going back to where it all began: the days following her son's Type 1 diabetes diagnosis. A diagnosis changes a family's life in ways that go far beyond learning about insulin, blood glucose levels, and daily management. But what about the emotional challenges that parents aren't always prepared for? Pam reflects on the things nobody tells parents after diagnosis, from the initial shock and uncertainty to the invisible mental load, fear, guilt, and loneliness that can accompany caring for a child with Type 1 diabetes. Together, we explore the pressure to get everything right, the difference between being prepared and living in constant worry, and the importance of making room for family life beyond diabetes. This conversation is a reminder that you don't have to get everything right, and you don't have to do it alone. Join us for the beginning of a different kind of season, filled with personal stories, honest reflections, and conversations about life with Type 1 diabetes.
