  • Summary

  • Ever heard of a “diaversary”?

    In this episode of the “Perspectives from a Pomegranate” podcast, host Lisa Brooks reflects on her son's upcoming diaversary, a term that might be unfamiliar to those outside the Type 1 diabetes community and refers to the anniversary of being diagnosed with diabetes.

    Initially very skeptical of celebrating it (she hated the word!), Lisa soon realized its significance, explaining how Type 1 diabetes demands countless decisions each day to ensure safety and health. For her son, it entails numerous insertions and needle pricks throughout the year, and so much more. Contemplating how to commemorate this milestone, Lisa received an unexpected perspective from a child life specialist who recognized and highlighted the crucial role she plays as her son's caregiver. This realization sparked a newfound appreciation for self-care and prompted Lisa to celebrate her own contributions and resilience. Tune in to hear how Lisa plans to honor herself and continue advocating for her son's well-being.
