Older adults with type 1 diabetes deserve better care. I've submitted a briefing to the APPG for Diabetes, calling for urgent action to address gaps in care home support. Lifespans are increasing—but care systems haven’t kept up. It's time to act!

CGMs must become standard of care in all care homes

The T1DRA study, led by @KGillespieBris at The University of Bristol, is screening adults in the UK aged 18-70 for Type 1 Diabetes. Funded by the @HelmsleyTrust and in collaboration with @DiabetesUK and @elsadiabetes. Find out more here - t1dra.bristol.ac.uk

@DiabeticDadUK - 48 years - 46 years - definitely

Hello #T1D folks! Some Qs: - How long have you been living with T1? - How long have you heard "cure" stories and promises? - Are you tired of the incessant "donate for a cure" posts on your socials? I'll start. - 40 years. - around 38 years. - Absolutely.

I spoke about things that had a majorly negative impact on me. I won’t be doing that again.

🧵 A friend of a friend is completing their BSc Physiotherapy dissertation on Awareness of Diabetes Mellitus Related Muscoskeletal Problems. They are looking for people with #T1D or #T2D over the age of 18 to complete the questionnaire below. Please share in your networks!

Thank you @FoysolChoudhury for continued support on the massive diabetes tech issue #DiabetesTechCantWait Why do Scotland not have a plan?! THINGS NEED TO CHANGE😡 @neilcgray @jenni_minto @djohnsonmsp Wish we had someone like @parthaskar in Scotland who makes changes 🤬🤬🤬

🔊Sound on!🔊 We're excited to introduce our new film, ‘What a cure feels like’, celebrating our transformation to Breakthrough T1D! The film features real people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D) and captures the relentless nature of living with T1D and the hundreds of extra decisions made each day. We would like to say a special thank you to @tara_humphrey and her daughter Tahlia, @LisWarren, @joem_ and his partner Salman and @Jonpeach5 who shared their experiences and worked alongside us to create this film. Together, let's raise awareness and inspire hope for a future without T1D💙 #BreakthroughT1D #WhatACureFeelsLike #T1D #GBDoc

This ⬇️⬇️ all children & all adults that want should be able t get access to tech. Yes there’s a lot of us in Scotland approx 36k. We just need to get the money & plan in place. #DiabetesTechCantWait

Sharing this again for anyone in the UK who is living with #Diabetes and experiencing or has experienced #Perimenopause #Menopause. There is so much power in your own stories to change your experiences and the experiences of younger people with #Diabetes 💙🩵💜 @diabetes_chat

World Menopause Day 2024 – Webinar alliance-scotland.org.uk/blog/events/wo…

Honoured to chair a roundtable on life-saving diabetes tech. We heard from professionals Professor Partha Kar, Dr Stuart Ritchie & Dexcom, campaigners iPAG & many with lived experience, such as Adam. We must remove barriers to this tech & increase funding #DiabetesTechCantWait

Retweet & tag your MSP. In October @FoysolChoudhury is hosting a rountable in the Scottish Parliament. This is a meeting with MSPs, HCP, Government advisors & people with lived experience of T1. 1/4 #DiabetesTechCantWait #GBDoc #DiabetesChat #T1D

“Upgrades” have started More people with #T1Diabetes getting on to #ClosedLoops “The best thing science can provide-at the mo-beyond a cure” I repeat-the switch is cost neutral or cost saving That’s the national negotiation done Get to it Or as Arnie would say.. #gbdoc

@parthaskar @DSNforumUK @hilarynathan01 @DiabeticDadUK @diabetes_chat @cahmn @Tims_Pants @Rezaidi @SaimeFulya @DrAliLumb @mayng888 This is an amazing step forwards for T1 care in England, your hard work on achieving this is much appreciated. Sadly #NHSscotland is far behind on providing similar access to technology. #TechCantWait

INFORMATION: If you have #T1Diabetes And are on a stand-alone #InsulinPump along with any #CGM as part of your care funded by the #NHS? You can be upgraded (if you so wish) to a #ClosedLoop system - pretty much ASAP As it's cost neutral/cost saving to local system. #gbdoc

Key area in #T1Diabetes management? The issue of exercise And if you want to know more? No greater chance than learning it from the Jedi of it all @DrRobAndrews Something for clinicians Something for those living with #T1D Please RT if you can!#EXTOD diabetes-nnf.co.uk/events?terms=e…

@nerdabetic @IrfanIsmail89 Great diagram of CGM & pump connectivity. However Libre 3 works with CamAPS and is not shown.

Medtronic pumps will work with a Libre-based CGM- news I never saw coming! Most surprising line in my AID map by far. My thoughts and observations:
