We talk to the inventor of the Genteel Lancing Device, and the President of Genteel LLC, Dr Chris Jacobs. This broad discussion spans the history of diabetes, the research and development that goes into diabetes innovation, even the psychology of pain! In early 2006, Dr Jacob's friend, who has Type 2 diabetes, called to say he was at his “wit's end” with the pain of lancing his fingertips. He begged Dr Jacobs to help. Over the next ten years, Dr Jacobs analyzed the interconnection between blood capillaries and pain nerves, limitations of current devices, and existing technologies that could bring painless lancing to reality, until Genteel finally evolved into the precision instrument it is today, with the ability to optimize blood draw with absolutely no discomfort. The Genteel Lancing Device is the world's only lancing device that uses vacuum suction to draw blood.  It is reliable, pain-free and FDA cleared for alternate site testing. Glucose testing with the Genteel Lancing Device can be done on other areas of the body, including palms, forearms, and thighs, giving fingers a break! And it can be used with almost any blood glucose meter or test strip. Diabetes is most likely not going away any time soon, despite the intensity of research time and dollars put into finding a cure, but we have the ability to make it less traumatic, more hopeful, and less financially burdensome. Genteel can make that difference. Its technology simply has to be experienced to be believed! Enjoy the incredible story of how innovation and friendship resulted in a device that has changed so many lives.   Join the Diapoint mailing list for exclusive insights and offers: diapointme.com/join-the-diapointme-mailing-list/   Visit the D-Shop where we offer beautiful, practical diabetes supplies and lifestyle accessories: https://www.diapointshop.com/    Home study program for parents of school-aged children with Type 1 Diabetes: https://www.diapointlearning.com/courses/the-ultimate-type-1-diabetes-school-game-plan    Diabetes resources: https://www.diapointme.com/diabetes-wellness-resources/    Diapoint is the place for people touched by diabetes.

In this episode of Dia-Logue: The Diapoint Podcast, Pam and Diapoint's Digital Marketing Manager, Toqaa Gad, discuss health and social media. The internet is an amazing resource for information, but it can also be dangerous if you don't know what's true and reliable. Particularly, content shared on social media. There is a lot to be learned from social media, but when it comes to our health, there is also a dark side full of unhealthy suggestions and misinformation. Some of these posts are health hazards. In between the quality information is a sea of misleading posts about exercise, health, and chronic conditions. Some even glamorize eating disorders. Join us as we start to uncover the dark side of social media and health. We discuss: The importance of getting proper, qualified medical advice before you try something you see on social media Some pretty shocking examples of harmful "news" and social media challenges How to dig deeper to determine if the health advice on social media is true or not, or from a reliable source Toqaa also shares her findings from her thesis about how social media is affecting girls and young women in relation to their body image and self esteem.

New Year, New Noise! The new year is full of messages and advertisements that you should hate yourself or your life. Don't! Goal-setting on January 1st is not necessary! Sometimes it's not even fun! Your first mission for this year is to love the person you were last year and do healthy things that are available to you – and most of them free – to improve your health. Health and wellness are not only for the elite and the wealthy. They are for everyone. There are things we can do that are free to support our health. Eat wholesome foods. Less is more. Sleep well. Drink water. Move – it doesn't have to be in a fancy gym, or a big lofty goal. Just move. No screens before bedtime. Even washing your hands regularly helps! In addition to these new year tips, Pam shares a little bit about where she was in her own goal setting after her burnout and exhaustion at the end of a successful 2022. The moral of the story: Give yourself the permission to be human and love yourself throughout the year. Stay focussed on living healthy and well. This is self-love. Treating yourself well throughout the year – even in the small things – is self-care.   Join the Diapoint mailing list for exclusive insights, offers and diabetes wisdom.

Co Chocolat was founded in Dubai by two sisters, Iman and Luchie Suguitan. They struggled to find healthy chocolates despite their many travels. Together, with their mother who was 68 at the time and is experiencing diabetes, they traveled to the beautiful island of Mindanao, Philippines to learn more about cacao.   It was there that they learned how to plant, prune, and harvest from cacao trees and ferment its beans. They became friends with the local farmers, agriculturists and government workers who also opened their eyes to the realities of cacao farming. This inspired them to leave their jobs and start an agricultural social enterprise, OFW para sa Magsasaka, or OPM (Overseas Filipinos Supporting Filipino Farmers), that supports and educates cacao farmers in the Philippines.   Today, they have 42 impact investors from the UAE, Philippines, Singapore, Qatar, Kuwait, Great Britain, Brazil, and the USA supporting their farmers and healthy chocolate creations. Through their passion and leadership they have co-created an agricultural blueprint, community and way to support the farmers who provide the cocoa for their beautiful chocolates.   Join Pam as she spends some time with Iman in the beautiful cafe of their new factory that has just opened in Dubai. Iman shares the story of their journey and more about their lovely, inspiring business and delicious chocolates.   Learn more about Co Chocolat at https://cochocolat.com and follow them on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/co_chocolat/   You can also learn more about their social enterprise, OFW, here https://ofwparasamagsasaka.com   Join the Diapoint mailing list for exclusive insights, offers and diabetes wisdom.

Coaching, at any level and for any endeavor, exists to support and challenge you. No matter who is being coached, or for what purpose, a successful coaching engagement must support and challenge a person.

They are health coaches, but they also support clients in their diabetes management. Diabetes health coaches provide personalized advice and support to help individuals understand the best strategies for managing their health and achieving positive outcomes.  In this episode, Pam Durant, Diapoint's Founder & Managing Director, talks more about what a health coach is and exactly what a diabetes coach does.

In this episode, we'll dive into the thought-provoking, controversial world of using diabetes drugs for weight loss.   It all started when Dr. Oz, an American talk show host, introduced Ozempic, a medication designed for diabetes management, to the world back in 2021 as a solution for weight loss. Since then it has become very popular. The promise of shedding pounds effortlessly led to a surge in demand that eventually caused a shortage of the drug.   We're going deeper into the story and learn what's behind this frenzy, and more importantly, what are the potential risks and rewards?   In today's episode, we have a special guest, Ali Hashemi, the Co-founder of meta[bolic] and GluCare.Health, to help us unravel the mysteries of using diabetes drugs for weight loss.   Society is on the hunt for a magic pill, a shortcut to the body they desire. But the question that looms large is this: Is it truly worth it? Is it safe?   Join the Diapoint mailing list for exclusive insights, offers and diabetes wisdom.   The Diapoint Family Weekend taking place on 4-5 November 2023 in Dubai!

In this episode of Dia-Logue: The Diapoint Podcast, Pam speaks with Yonca Tokbaş and Ayşen Gilroy about the foundation of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil.   They discuss everything from harvesting to production, storage, and how to use it.   Ayşen Gilroy is a passionate olive oil entrepreneur with a profound love for the Aegean Region's liquid gold. Her and her family-owned olive oil business journey began with a deep appreciation for olive oil's rich history, health benefits, and culinary versatility.   Their journey began with a small grove and a dream, and today, their olive oil is celebrated for its impeccable taste and uncompromising quality. Their dedication to excellence was recently recognized when The Gilroy's was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal at the 16th National Natural Cold Pressed Olive Oil Competition organized by The Friends of Olives Association. This is a testament to the uncompromising quality and exceptional taste of their olive oil.   But that's not all. Ayşen's talents extend beyond the olive groves. She's also a culinary virtuoso, she is an amazing chef and the creative force behind The Gilroy Cookbook https://www.instagram.com/thegilroycookbook/?hl=en - a guide to beautiful healthy food and entertaining. This was created from her experience as a chef and owner of a boutique cafe.     Yonca Tokbaş's love of olive trees and olive oil comes from her grandfather who owned olive groves and produced olive oil in the Muğla region in Turkey. The ancient, wise and natural way of communal work for the olive oil business inspired many of her passions and for her to continue this journey.   She started her own olive oil brand and business 10 years ago in her small garden, with just 10 olive trees. With a certification in Permaculture Design, she now owns a grove in Şenköy, which is a Turkish village famous for its organic olive groves.   Her 2022 olive oil was awarded a gold medal and the 2023 harvest olive oil special series named HOPE has a record level of 1,041 polyphenol.   Aysen and Yonca are both partner members of Bafa Natural Life Agricultural Production and Marketing Cooperative which was founded in 2019 to bring together the agricultural power and unique ecosystem of the region under the roof of a new-generation production cooperative.       Join the Diapoint mailing list for exclusive insights, offers and diabetes wisdom.   Visit the D-Shop where we offer beautiful, practical diabetes supplies and lifestyle accessories.   The Ultimate T1D Game Plan: A game-changing home study program for parents of school-aged children with Type 1 Diabetes.   Diabetes resources.   Looking for health support?
