A day full of exercise, exchange and real closeness to the community
The KidsKon feels not like a classic trade fair on. Mmore like a meeting place for families, children, Youth, professionals and engaged community members. Between sport, knowledge and lots of open conversations, it quickly became clear: the questions that concern parents and children in everyday life are often surprisingly similar. And that's exactly why Hyporest was in the right place that day.
A start full of energy
The opening made it clear how much movement shapes the day - as a motor, as an outlet and as a connecting element. And as foundation stone for that awareness of a healthy life for the future. This openness continued throughout the day and was also reflected in the discussions at our stand. Many parents wanted to know how to have an active everyday life without constantly being in the “Candy mode“, which often seems unavoidable in children with diabetes.
Everyday questions that concern many families
Between the numerous sessions on sport, nutrition, therapy, psychology and technology, the same theme kept cropping up: the desire for a neutral, non-sweet option that doesn't feel like a snack.
Many talked about how firmly anchored the topic of sweets is in school, training and leisure time - and how relieved they are when there are alternatives that break this automatism.
Our stand will become a meeting point – for families and well-known community voices
Shortly after the start of the trade fair, our stand came alive – and stayed that way until the end. In addition to parents, young people and diabetes educatorsn Many familiar faces who have shaped the community for years also came by.
Among them are speakers, influencers and active community voices that you would normally hear from lectures, podcasts or Social Media knows. Some took the opportunity to meet again briefly, others came to see us for the first time and wanted to try out Hyporest for themselves.
This mix of expertise, experience and personal exchange made our stand one of the places where people met again and again.
The KidsKon-Challenge
A spontaneous, very pleasant moment developed between all the conversations:
the unofficial one KidsKon-Challenge.
First it was the older visitors who wanted to try out how many Hyporest mini tablets they could swallow at the same time.
The children enthusiastically followed suit - and suddenly a small, happy crowd of people stood in front of the stand, counting, laughing and cheering each other on.
A playful moment that showed how low-threshold and uncomplicated Hyporest works in everyday life - without the character of a candy.
Encounters that last
We will especially remember the conversations with children and young people. Many spoke openly about school, sports, travel, first parties or using technology. Others reported that Hypo balance automatically means being observed “snacking” again.
In these moments it became clear how strong the need for neutral solutions is - and how well they fit into the lives of many families.
The KidsKon as a glimpse of the future
The many lectures and workshops showed how quickly the diabetes world is changing. At the same time, it became clear that there is no substitute for real encounters.
It was inspiring for us to see how naturally families, influencers, volunteers, speakers and expertsen her Share knowledge and support each other.
Our conclusion
The KidsKon 2025 was a day full of energy and lively togetherness. We made many new contacts, saw familiar community faces again and had countless conversations that showed us what really moves families.
We're going back with lots of impressions, stories and encounters - and looking forward to everything the community will create together in the coming year.
We are already looking forward to the next one KidsKon.
