Over the past few weeks I've noticed many of my diabuddies struggling. Living with #type1diabetes can be tiring & overwhelming. A constant demand. It's ok to not be ok. Here's something I wrote 5yrs ago! #MentalHealthMatters #BeKind Time to reflect diabeticqueen.wordpress.com/2015/12/02/tim…

On 21.05.25 my mum gained her wings 💔 We never imagined the horrendous back pain was advanced metastatic cancer 😢 Cancer doesn’t discriminate. It’s a cruel disease.If something doesn’t feel right, always seek advice or second opinions. It may well save your life #cancersucks

In 3wks, my lovely colleagues & I are walking a marathon, finishing at Oakhaven hospice who cared for our #diabetes colleague, Beth, a few months ago, after she received a diagnosis for a rare and terminal cancer 🙏 help us raise funds for Oakhaven 💕 justgiving.com/page/westhants…

It’s sad that our young adult NHSE pilot has come to an end 😞 But, I feel so privileged to have worked alongside determined & inspirational young adults living with diabetes❤️ Always learning Always a pleasure Thank you 🙏

@DarrenBar88 @long_covid @LongCovidSOS @GrnsAgnstCvd @LC_UK_Action Sorry to hear this. I struggled for 2yrs. I started to realise my future would be different & got a rescue dog to go on short walks when I could. In 4 months my symptoms reduced. LC team think she helped dampen the high stress response. Please don’t loose hope. 1day at a time ❤️

Yesterday #LongCovid cost me my job. 20 years working as a Learning Disability Nurse for the #NHS. My livelihood gone, my role in life gone, my ability to help others gone. Long Covid ruins lives.

@fcpurvis Amazing Fran ❤️

@scivier_martin @emmajdoble @tadorna @james_ridgeway Great article Martin 😊

My thanks to Emma Doble @emmajdoble & Bastian Hauck @tadorna for suggesting that I write a ‘Comment ’  article for the prestigious BMJ Also my thanks to Mary @loupingntheloop & James @james_ridgeway for their helpful suggestions. bmj.com/cgi/content/fu…

@katboreuxwells It’s a tough one Kat. It’s hard when others don’t understand tech or t1 as well as we do. Sometimes our understanding can allow us to make changes that aren’t obvious to others & may be detrimental to recovery. It’s def something to improve but a tough one without sound exp ❤️

Having to go MDI ready for my move to the ED unit which makes me mad. I’ve been on HCL for a few years now but because the ED unit don’t know how to use the tech i suffer. I am so glad for the Tech but what’s the point if other specialities don’t have training to use it. #GBDoc
