loop&life – Podcast Launch & First Episode

loop&life – a podcast about diabetes technology and life with diabetes

With loop&life, the Diabetes Center Berne (DCB) introduces a podcast exploring current developments, innovations and perspectives in diabetes technology.

In each episode, we take a closer look at emerging trends, discuss important topics and share open perspectives on challenges and opportunities in diabetes care. The conversations bring together insights from research, innovation and lived experience in the diabetes community.

The podcast is produced by the Diabetes Center Berne (DCB) — a Swiss nonprofit organization that identifies gaps in diabetes technology and turns bold ideas into practical solutions that improve the lives of people with diabetes worldwide.

First episode: Trusted Until It Fails

The first episode explores the often unseen reality behind diabetes technologies. In “Trusted Until It Fails,” Greta Ehlers and Derek Brandt share real-world stories of algorithms misbehaving, pumps quietly failing and digital pilot projects that never made it past the demo. Together, they discuss what these experiences mean for how we design, implement and use new technologies.
