What does it mean to live boldly with Type 1 diabetes without allowing a diagnosis to set the limits of your life?

In this inspiring conversation, I'm joined by Chris Roome, founder of Project InsulNation, a community built by and for people living with Type 1 diabetes. Chris shares his powerful story behind the organization and its mission to create life-changing adventures that bring people together, build confidence, and challenge outdated assumptions about what is possible with T1D.

We explore the emotional and practical realities of managing Type 1 diabetes while pursuing adventure, travel, physical challenges and a full life. Chris also reflects on the importance of connection, especially the relief and empowerment that can come from being surrounded by people who truly understand the daily decisions, resilience and courage that life with Type1 diabetes can require.

This episode is for anyone living with Type 1 diabetes, supporting someone who is, or seeking a more hopeful and expansive perspective on chronic health conditions. It is a reminder that a diagnosis can be part of your story, but it does not have to write the ending.

Project InsulNation describes its work as creating community-driven adventures for people with Type 1 diabetes, with the aim of inspiring bold living and deeper connection.

In this episode of Dia-logue: The Diapoint Podcast, Pamela Durant is joined by Professor Nandu KS Thalange, Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist and Adjunct Clinical Professor of Paediatrics, for an accessible conversation about the future of diabetes care.

With more than 35 years of clinical and research experience across the UK and UAE, Professor Thalange brings both a specialist paediatric perspective and first-hand experience of the research that helped advance modern basal insulin options for children and young people.

Together, they discuss the changing diabetes landscape: from continuous glucose monitoring, insulin pumps, newer insulin therapies, stem cell research and the promise and practical limits of some of these.

They explore how innovation can support safer, more personalised care, while also recognising that technology only fulfils its potential when people and families have the education, support, access, and confidence to use it well.

This conversation is for people living with diabetes, parents and caregivers, healthcare professionals, and anyone curious about where diabetes treatment may be heading next.

In this episode, we sit down with Dennis Goldensohn who has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for 58 years. From the era of boiling glass syringes and urine tests to today's connected insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors, Dennis shares how diabetes management evolved from guesswork into a science. We also discuss the importance of mindset, surviving the day to day and how to build habits that became second nature. We talk about the discipline it took to keep showing up, and the advice he'd give anyone newly diagnosed today. Along the way, he reflects on refusing to let the diagnosis define his identity, choosing instead to see it as a circumstance he manages rather than a label he wears. This conversation is packed with practical wisdom on longevity, mindset, and what it really means to thrive — not just survive — with Type 1 Diabetes for nearly six decades.
