  • Hypo Hounds: The diabetic alert dog charity reducing children's hospital admissions with founder Jane Pearman

    Hypo Hounds: The diabetic alert dog charity reducing children's hospital admissions with founder Jane Pearman
    Dec 26 2024
    As heart-warming ends to a series go, they don’t get much more heart-warming than this episode.

    Hypo Hounds is a diabetic alert assistance charity, helping children with type 1 diabetes by training assistance dogs to not only detect hypos, fetch testing kits or even bring a bottle of Lucozade, but helping children to live with more independence and freedom, and families to communicate better and feel less burdened by the challenges of type 1 diabetes.

    The woman behind Hypo Hounds is today’s guest, Jane Pearman. Jane and her husband trained their first hypo dog, Scooby, to help their daughter Sophie after she was diagnosed with brittle type 1 diabetes as well as other major health complications at the age of 9. At the time Jane was checking Sophie’s blood sugars every hour through the night, feeling understandably frightened and exhausted.

    They didn’t know it at the time, but Scooby would inspire the journey to founding Hypo Hounds, which has now trained 54 dogs to date, reducing hospital admissions and giving children and their families much-needed independence and relief from the burden of living with diabetes.

    Thanks to the help of Scooby and her second Hypo Hound Dori, Sophie, now 22, lives independently and remains an incredible spokesperson for the charity. Heart-warming, emotional, inspiring - I couldn’t urge you to press play on this episode more!

  • The Diaries Check In: 2024 reflections, urine samples, achy kidneys and diabetes wins

    The Diaries Check In: 2024 reflections, urine samples, achy kidneys and diabetes wins
    Dec 19 2024
    My dear friend and fellow type 1 Ami Bennett returns to the podcast to look back at what 2024 has served us from a diabetes perspective.

    As always, Ami keeps it very real and regales us with one of her most memorable escapades involving a particularly disastrous urine sample… but to balance it out, she’s elevated her game by entering the world of homemade granola.

    Meanwhile I talk about being haunted by a rogue Pod, we discuss ill-timed alarms, drinking out of date hypo juice, attempt to establish what exactly insulin smells like, and we hear some of your diabetes wins of the year!

    Thank you so much for coming on this journey with me through 40 episodes in 2024. This podcast wouldn’t exist without you.

  • A father and grandmother share differing experiences of 10-month-old baby's type 1 diagnosis with Sharon and Lewis Harrison-Barker

    A father and grandmother share differing experiences of 10-month-old baby's type 1 diagnosis with Sharon and Lewis Harrison-Barker
    Dec 12 2024
    In this special 3-person episode, I’m speaking to Sharon Harrison-Barker and her son Lewis.

    Lewis’s son Marty was just 10 months old when he was rushed to hospital in DKA in 2017, plunging the whole family into crisis and shifting the dynamic of the family forever.

    Today Marty is a happy, healthy 8-year-old, but those days in the hospital were the some of the worst of dad Lewis and nan Sharon’s lives, as well as their respective spouses.

    The weeks and months after his son’s diagnosis remain a blur for Lewis, and it was the concerned words of a stranger that prompted him to seek help for his mental health. In this chat, Lewis opens up about how from the moment he received the initial call about his son’s declining health, he completely shut down. ‘It sent me into self-preservation mode. I felt like people didn’t need me to be emotional, they needed me to be functional.’

    In this episode we hear two different perspectives of the same very difficult experience. Nan and dad tell me how Marty’s diagnosis has changed them as a family, sharing some of their memories with each other for the very first time.

    Their relationship is a testament to how clear communication - as well as boundaries - have allowed Marty to thrive through nursery, school and now as a big brother, but have also helped Lewis and his wife Steph to meet the ever-evolving needs of Marty’s condition alongside their own as humans, parents, and partners.
