@DiabetesUK @Peter_Dowd Very important issue. Thank you @diabetesuk We must be smarter in our approach: integrated, person centred design and implementation at pace. Not just more of the same.

Huge thanks to @Peter_Dowd for raising awareness of the links between diabetes and mental health. Too many people living with diabetes aren’t able to get the mental health support they need, and we need to change that ✊ #mentalhealthweek

@RenzaS In every bag I take with me and, if no bag, on my person ( ie pocket etc ). Also, most critical, wherever exercising, usually a pocket but always on/with me. Whenever possible, tell people with you where you stash it! May sound OTT but people really want to know, just in case.

@DiabetesUK Thank you @ChrisAskewCE for your wonderful contribution across all the #diabetes stakeholder groups. There is no doubt of what you have done for so many. As a person living with the condition, allow me to show my appreciation too. Wishing you the very best.
