John Pemberton was at Croke Park on 21 May for DICE — Diabetes Ireland Conference and Exhibition — Ireland's premier annual event for healthcare professionals working in diabetes. The day also saw the launch of the landmark National Policy and Services Review for diabetes in Ireland. John grabbed a microphone and seven conversations. This episode is all of them.

Anjanee Kohli is Co-Director and Creative Director of The Glucose Never Lies® and the host for this episode. John Pemberton is founder of The Glucose Never Lies® and a paediatric diabetes dietitian at Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust; he is also a person living with T1D. This episode reflects the independent views of both.

This episode covers:

• Sinead Powell (Education and Support Coordinator, Diabetes Ireland): the COPE programme, emotional wellbeing in type 2 diabetes, language, stigma, and why information alone is never enough
• Kathy Breen (Clinical Specialist Dietitian and Dietetic Lead, National Diabetes Programme): what Language Matters looks like in practice, person-first language, and its inclusion in the new national strategy
• Kate Gaievska (Clinical Manager for Advocacy and Research, Diabetes Ireland): why adult diabetes psychology services in Ireland are effectively non-existent, what the strategy commits to, and the long road of implementation
• Professor Fidelma Dunne (University of Galway / National Clinical Trials Network in Diabetes): how clinical trials get funded, why real-world data matters, and why research is not the icing on the cake
• Christine Newman (Diabetes Consultant, Galway): hybrid closed-loop in pregnancy, CGM for type 2, and the case for free glucose strips for gestational diabetes
• Professor Derek O'Keefe (Consultant Physician and Professor of Medical Device Technology, UHG): Mochara, a bounded AI education tool that matched nurse and doctor performance in trials, ambient clinical documentation, intelligent dynamic triage, and what multimodal AI means for diabetes care
• Dr Tomas Griffin (Consultant Diabetologist, Galway / DTN Ireland): what the strategy means for pump access, the DTN Ireland roadshow, and why every tier of hospital in Ireland is now starting pump therapy
