@GbdocTChost After a hypo.. that’ll be a no!

Let’s add a bit of sparkle into this evening with the BG Bingo!! Today’s lucky number is 6.9 #GBDoc Who's calling it?

@GbdocTChost A5 I just go for whatever I want to eat… that’s going to vary day to day! #gbdoc

Q5 - 'Tis the season of indulgence with the likes of Diwali, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas on the way. Do you restrict yourself until the "d" day or do you enjoy casually the offering? What’s your strategy? #GBDoc

@GbdocTChost But also v important to get outside, I have a 15 min BARE minimum each day - doesn’t sound much, but yeah, we need daylight #gbdoc

@GbdocTChost A4 I’ve got a vitamin D spray which I’ve been using, and some manuka honey to try to ward stuff off. Oh and I’m jetting off to the sunshine in a few weeks, that helps?! #gbdoc

Q4 - Mental health is important at this time of year, and cold weather means wrapping up warm, short days with not much sunlight and potential bugs waiting to catch you. How do you remain positive? Any top tips? #GBDoc

@GbdocTChost A3 have never thought of the colder weather affecting things! But I guess I’m less likely to have salads / ice lollies all the time so yeah, I guess more insulin (and higher levels) #gbdoc

Q3 - And moving on. As the weather is getting colder, have you already noticed a change with your insulin requirements ? Have you increased or decreased your dosings? #GBDoc

@GbdocTChost A2 nothing specific I can think of but it’s about having a sounding board and reminding me of important things (leave that pump ALONE!!) that I find super useful #gbdoc

Q2 - November is also diabetes month and there is a lot going on in SoMe to share awareness and provide info. What new resources or strategies, if any, have you discovered that have helped you manage your diabetes more effectively? #GBDoc

@GbdocTChost A1 I usually do a post on insta or something but good reminder, I might wear blue! #gbdoc

Q1 - Tomorrow, 14 November, is World Diabetes day (F. Banting’s birthday). Do you do something to mark this day? Wear blue? Paint your nails blue? Celebrate with a post on SoMe? What’s your take? Or do you prefer to ignore it completely? #GBDoc

@GbdocTChost @AlexHaggett1 Sorry I’m late! Lauren, T1D for nearly exactly 20 years, and errr no… it’s November?!! #gbdoc #scrooge

Good evening all! I’m @AlexHaggett1, your #GBDoc tweetchat host for this evening. Before we start, let us know who you are, your relationship to diabetes and a controversial November question: is your Christmas tree up yet?

@sam_lister_ @MartynDBrown @StephSpyro @Express_Knowles @katiecharris @christiancalgie Congratulations Sam! Best of luck in the new role

It’s my last day in Westminster! What a privilege to have reported on some of the biggest stories in modern times and a joy to have done it alongside the spirited lobby pack. Huge thanks to @MartynDBrown @StephSpyro @Express_Knowles @katiecharris @christiancalgie Over and out

@JOKftw Cheeky question but don’t suppose you have any of the book group questions? Need some for our meeting tonight!

A great book I read this month with my book club: Penance by Eliza Clark I really liked Clark’s first novel, Boy Parts, so I was expecting to enjoy Penance but was blown away by how great it was. Easily my favorite book I've read in a while. Had a blast talking about it tonight.

Cannot wait to watch this! theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

This is so powerful. PLEASE do watch, I would really appreciate people understanding more about what this condition feels like

@Type1Tony You need to take time for you. Remember the whole “fit your own oxygen mask first” thing 💙

@Type1Tony Don’t apologise!! It’s tough. I think people would be shocked if they realised exactly what we have to go through each day in addition to life stuff. Take it easy; rest if you can. And do something nice for you, whatever that looks like

@Type1Tony Ah I’m sorry Tony. What’s up?

found the opposite of a sugar daddy

@mo_wootten Yeah. I noticed that… and felt all kinds of things

@thisislaurent The “alarm clock going off” auto caption really hits in a very unexpected way

@BT1DUK So important and so real

🔊Sound on!🔊 We're excited to introduce our new film, ‘What a cure feels like’, celebrating our transformation to Breakthrough T1D! The film features real people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D) and captures the relentless nature of living with T1D and the hundreds of extra decisions made each day. We would like to say a special thank you to @tara_humphrey and her daughter Tahlia, @LisWarren, @joem_ and his partner Salman and @Jonpeach5 who shared their experiences and worked alongside us to create this film. Together, let's raise awareness and inspire hope for a future without T1D💙 #BreakthroughT1D #WhatACureFeelsLike #T1D #GBDoc
