@resurgent_harry @MinnieM40 @AskNationwide I was wondering the same thing!

@AskNationwide our ISA interest is due today but we’ve logged on to our account and nothing is showing?

@SouthernRailUK I genuinely was curious even though it's nothing to do with me or my life, so thank you for appeasing us nosy parkers hahaha

💡In case you're curious💡 ⚡Unfortunately, a power cut at the station means that the station only has limited access routes, it's not safe for your train to call 👷👷‍♀️We're working with the station teams and the local electricity suppliers to ensure that the station is returned to a mains electricity supply as quickly as possible ℹ️We'll continue to update you with any changes to the situation, and we'd like to thank you for your patience

💡Due to an issue with station lighting at St Leonards Warrior Square, not trains will call at this station 📢We advise to seek travel assistance from colleagues at Hastings 🗣️If you are at the station, please try and use the station help point as well

I get chills every single time I watch an Olympic medal ceremony #OlympicGames

Please explain to me how I had a blood test at my GP surgery two hours ago and the results are already online?!

In other news, I don't think I've had a sensor last the full 14 days in the last four months 🫠🫠

In all seriousness... HOW does this happen when the fibre is just in my arm?! What's happening in there to bend it and make it unusable all of a sudden? #gbdoc

@T1_Lesley I have the same issue! Medical environments really spike my anxiety so I don't feel like I get much out of the conversation - I dread the exact same conversation on a phonecall much less!

@DailyKayleigh Turns out I get a choice. Dr told me to ask for a phone app as he could see I was clearly anxious (on top of my diabetic distress) with being in the hospital

I really really really wish my diabetes consultant appointments could be over the phone vs in person but they seem to hate it... I have all my physical tests beforehand with the nurse and I'm seeing a locum this time, so spending time and money to go to the clinic is annoying

@rustyjellybaby I completed the online form - replacements arrived today 🙂

@DailyKayleigh Did you call them? I put one on yesterday and basically no connection

Has anyone else had terrible luck with their Libre sensors recently? I've had four fail on me within the last week - is there a bad batch? #gbdoc

@JulieTickle4 @GBDocInfo The last two times I've changed mine it's been an early failure followed by the replacement falling off or failing almost immediately! I've been using them for years so it's definitely not a me problem, hahaha

Anyone experiencing issues with Libre sensors recently? #GBDoc #Diabetes #Libre #PeerSupport

@JimMooreJourno @GBDocInfo That happened to me yesterday! One sensor failed (generic 'Sensor not working' error), then the replacement fell off before it had even finished the hour warmup. Infuriating!

@GBDocInfo I had one fall off after barely an hour recently

@Kerr21Kerr Definitely sounds like there's something going on with the sensors then! I feel like Abbott are going to ban me from ordering replacements, but they genuinely just keep failing on me 😬

@DailyKayleigh Yes - in the last six months I’ve had three that worked but no Bluetooth connection so scan only and the most recent one just stopped - no failure message just wouldn’t even scan. Before that only two failures in three years.

Do I know any Brighton drummers, or do YOU know any Brighton drummers, who are looking for a new band? If so, hit me up (not my band)!

Surely soon I'll cycle back to someone I've seen before? I must have seen every diabetes consultant in the city by now

I also wish I could find ANY information on my consultants online - I'm not a people person at the best of times and I find it quite disconcerting having to sit down with a total stranger to discuss my medical history when I don't know a thing about them

AGAIN I have a new consultant for my next diabetes appointment! I wish I had some degree of continuity as a patient - I see someone different literally every single time and it's really tedious having to start from scratch over and over again

@OhGodWhatABitch Bloody hell! Whereabouts are you based? I'm in Brighton!
