Jack Trigger Sailing

Last week, our team had the chance to attend the Challenge Award Innovation ceremony organised by the @Diabetes Center Berne. Special focus on the inspiring keynote given by Jack Trigger, a solo sailor with T1D and a role model for overcoming diabetes which has never limited him

We’d like to say a huge #ThankYou to all our amazing #SouthWest #volunteers who joined us at our fab first ever National online Conference, and to @TriggerSailing for giving such a fascinating and fun talk! And good luck with your future adventures Jack!

Some pictures of our Volunteering Conference at the weekend: Our volunteer Carol Ross, Dr Zoe Waller Ass Prof in Drug Discovery at UCL School of Pharmacy and sailor Jack Trigger, who lives with type 1 diabetes among others. What an inspirational event #charity #diabetes

“Accurately and consistently knowing my glucose level is critical to both safety and performance”, says Jack Trigger, offshore solo sailor and FreeStyle Libre Ambassador. Here’s his new blog. #TeamFreeStyleLibre #YouCanDoIt #LifeInTheZone #LifeToTheFullest @TriggerSailing

This Diabetes Week, I'm joining @DiabetesUK to paint #TheBigPicture of life with diabetes. There are 4.8 million people living with diabetes in the UK, and @DiabetesUK are fighting for a better future for all of them. Find out how: bit.ly/2XRAxN0

I am now an ambassador for @AbbottNews and @FreeStyleDiabet! If you’ve ever wondered about the little round disc on my arm that isn’t just a fashion accessory.. It’s called #FreeStyleLibre and is a glucose monitor. There is no way I could sail offshore on my own without it.
