It’s so interesting 🤔 to see that expensive medical interventions are being used for people who are healthy (but overweight) while people with the rare disease #pku only get the option of an extreme diet to treat their rare disease. The dietary interventions are very different.

Ozempic, a diabetes miracle drug that has become an off-label appetite suppressant, is changing the definition of being thin — and what it takes to get there. @MatthewSchneier reports trib.al/2vLhvH2

Nurses work 12hr shifts; sell their days off; use food banks; pay £1300 a year to park. And 40,000 have left their jobs in a year. Tory MPs sit for 150 days; get subsidised food; claim travel & energy on expenses; get free parking & £2,200 pay rises. Back the nurses please.

@jackiebmsp @cftrust Thnx @jackiebmsp Many CF sufferers need 5000 calories a day -to stay well and not lose weight. The majority of them cannot absorb calories from fat and protein due to pancreatic insufficiency. Added to that is the burden of increased utility costs to operate medical equipment

.@cftrust's survey found 87% worried about the #costofliving. People with cystic fibrosis have higher food & energy bills as they need more calories to maintain a healthy weight & may need to power medical equipment. I support reducing the CF cost burden #ISupportPeopleWithCF
