@DiabeticDadUK Definitely much lower number of decisions - and most seem “easier”. Sometimes, in the morning, I don’t check my levels first thing - that feels like major progress.

T1 Diabetic for forever and a day. Half-assed views my own, everything else plagiarised.

You know the extra 180 decisions a day with #T1D? Does that still apply with hybrid closed loop?
I've made about ten decisions today, and a couple of those revolved around which swearwords to direct at the pump alerts.
"Shut up, you monumental bellend" was satisfying decision.

What fresh madness is this?

@TungateWendy @GbdocTChost Haha, I was just sitting trying to do the sums and realised I too am squiffy!
English
@GbdocTChost Based on that I'm still honeymooning but my maths might be squiffy based on the amount of wine I have consume today (very nice winery visit but 10.30am is a bit early to start) #GBDoc

Q3b. Science - rough guide to insulin sensitivity:
Time for maths – TDD of insulin / weight in kg
< 0.3 is honeymoon
0.3 - 0.5 is sensitive
0.5 - 1.0 is normal T1 range
> 1.0 is moving to resistance
But please remember there’s no right or wrong number just your number #GBDoc

@glodee @DiabeticDadUK I just started on HCL last week and was told to cut my hypo treatment in half - out for walk on Friday, horrible hypo and really struggled (and failed) not to just eat all those wine gums!
English
@DiabeticDadUK It just doesn't. My DSN doesn't get this - she thinks I'm just fearful of hypos. Right, you try sitting with a 2.7 at 4am to 'see' if it'll stop falling.
English
HCL has been great. I just wish it could stamp on the brakes of a falling blood glucose a bit harder, especially during the night. 🥱😴
English
@CaisterClara @GBDocInfo That’s terrible. 30 yrs ago, in temp job, had hypo - dealt with by me, no impact on anyone else, but fell off my chair in open plan office. Called in by boss next day to be told I was to finish as department too busy to cope with my “badly controlled diabetes”. Still 😡
English
@GBDocInfo #t1d I’m so upset, my daughter has just been told she is upsetting staff by injecting insulin in the staff room. Has been ordered to use the toilet or medical room, out of sight of everyone. She feels absolutely distraught and ostracised. Anybody else had this happen?

@Marsi132 @jayrayner1 Not all schools in Scotland off then. Aberdeen/shire not finished. Postal or proxy vote easy to register for. If people want to vote they can easily do so.
English
@jayrayner1 The cynic in me thinks calling a GE the week that Scotland and NI schools have broken up is absolutely deliberate!
English
The timing of the election might cause problems for some, esp students coming to the end of term or those who have holidays booked (whoever they intend to vote for). The solution is to apply for a postal vote. Here’s the link to do so. Please share.

@aberquine @jayrayner1 @Edinburgh4EU Not all schools in Scotland on holiday (Aberdeen/shire definitely not). Easy to register for postal or proxy - not really a major issue.
English
@jayrayner1 @Edinburgh4EU And for thousands in Scotland, it’s the start of the school holidays, no Westminster government would ever schedule a general election during the English school holidays!
English
@serenabarksing @amandeep86 When will postal vote ballot papers be sent out?
English
July 4th is an important date - but there is arguably a more important one
The Electoral Commission announces deadline for registering to vote for July general election
🚨 Tuesday 18 June 🚨

@pressjournal Plenty time to sort postal vote or proxy vote - not too difficult to sort for those who really want to vote.

@yona1959 @British_Airways I fell for this exact scam following a complaint post about @British_Airways refund. All very credible, but still horrified at my own stupidity. Bank blocked payments. Glad you were sharper than me.
English
Dear @British_Airways
A few iminutes ago I received a call from a man who said he was calling me from British Airways LONDON. I told him I was having difficulty understanding his accent and could he please have someone from the UK call me. He insisted he was calling from LONDON. I Politely repeated that I was having difficulty understanding his accent & what he was saying.
He then asked me 'ARE YOU STUPID.'? Do you want help or not? He also 'yawned' throughout the call. I take it that you routinely record telephone calls. What I am telling you should be easy to confirm.
You are determined to make what is an horrendous situation WORSE.
I took a screenshot of the telephone number from which your member of staff called, insisting it was LONDON and refusing to transfer me to someone in the UK. As you can see he was NOT TRUTHFUL. He was calling from KENYA. Apart from deliberately INSULTING me? Is deliberately misleading customers part of your training? Or is this a cultural thing and you permit Men say aggressively to Women, when they have made a polite request, ARE YOU STUPID? You are aware this is now a Public Relations Disaster. The number he called me from is
+254734317767
That is KENYA ~ NOT LONDON, UK.
I would like an explanation please.

@GBDocInfo I remember it used to be great spotting someone wearing a #CGM & knowing you'd seen another Type 1 #InTheWild & thinking #OneOfUs. Now it's more likely to be for pseudo science fitness reasons & detracts from the fact that it's a life saving device for people with #T1D #GBDoc

Should the public and celebrities be using cgm devices if they don't have diabetes? What do you think? #ItsNotAZoe #GBDoc #PeerSupport #T1D #T2D #Mody #Diabetes Cj

@AlexScott is choosing abundance ✨ Since hanging up her football boots on a career that was the stuff of women’s football lore, the 39-year-old has become one of the most acclaimed sports broadcasters on the BBC. Last month, she picked up the gong for best sports presenter at the Royal Television Society Awards for her coverage of the women’s World Cup. In June, she’ll fly to Germany, where she’ll be part of the BBC’s broadcasting team for the men’s Euros. She is, without question, a woman at the top of her game. But pigeonhole her at your peril. Whether she’s experimenting with bold looks on the red carpet, presenting her brand new show on Kiss FM or bossing a fast-paced strength training workout, her’s is an expansive, evolving vision of success. As she prepares to celebrate a milestone birthday, she opens up about falling back in love with training, letting her walls come down in her personal life and turning the negativity of her detractors into fuel to power her success. Read the full interview, in our May issue, on sale now.

@ozzzzaa @DocAnthonyT @nhsfife Do you have the equivalent data for closed loop in Scotland? Be really keen to know what numbers are like.
English
@DocAnthonyT @nhsfife That’s an excellent achievement!!! We just need to replicate that across Scotland and not only for paediatric patients. The numbers for adults with T1D are alarming.
English
In @nhsfife about 78% of our paediatric population are now on closed-loop pump therapy.
Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥@parthaskar
Did you know? As per most recent @NPDA_RCPCH-by end of March 2023? Nearly 15% of Children with #T1D were on #ClosedLoops Guess who had the best HbA1c results cf anything else? Yup In 2024- We move to make it available to EVERY child Tech explosion? For a reason 😎 #gbdoc
