@jochurchill4 please support your constituents with diabetes by joining @DiabetesUK’s event in parliament tomorrow from 1.30-4.40 and show you know #DiabetesIsSerious https://t.co/b0yNSc496K

@LisWarren @DiabetesUK @PeteDaviesType1 @scivier_martin @sarahgatward @parthaskar This looks great and should provide real encouragement for newbies with T1D. Congratulations to you all!

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@CambsDiabetes Merry Christmas to you all too...and thank you for all you do for us x

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@LisWarren @DiabetesUK @PeteDaviesType1 @apatrickmooney @sarahgatward @RosenblattRoz @ChrisAskewCE Hi Lis, had T1D since May 1971, so am perhaps eligible. Will research how to join. Am I also entitled to a medal? Where can I apply for that?

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@resoluteketo Totally agree.....low carb sooooo much better!

@CUH_Diabetes @CUH_NHS @ACTcharity @CUH_Pharmacy @Andrealake1984 @DSNforumUK This is terrific news. Congratulations to all at CUH.

@RosieMarsh95 Brilliant Rosie.....well done you! Did it tally with your libre?

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@GbdocTChost Hi I'm Chris, just celebrated (?) my 50 years of T1D. I remember using blunt needles in the old days....give me cold insulin every day!

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@paleowithmrsp Sorry, but a beautiful day in sunny Suffolk!

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@paleowithmrsp That is absolutely amazing.....I also note your target range of 3 to 6. Very impressive indeed.

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@lm_champion @paleowithmrsp Totally agree with all you have written above... May I ask, approx how many carbs do you have a day?

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@curly4 Yes it does Curly.....it's what wakes me up at night when I go low. Hope you feel okay now.

[Caroline Byrne @cogbyrne]

Well done Cambridge ! @CUH_Diabetes @nutritak @ShannonFarnham1 @Andrealake1984 @Sarahartnell1 @kt_davenport

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@ysanneT1D @amybetic .....or a long hot bath!

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@amybetic I had that last week.....it is fab! Got me thinking: I could live like this always and go back to a pen and finger pricks? I don't think so!

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@curly4 Brilliant, thank you so much....I'll start there.

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@curly4 Yes, but at what level do you set your alarms? I am thinking maybe 4.3 and 9.8???? Don't want it go off all the time though! Any thoughts welcome!

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@curly4 Wow so small..... I've only just got my first Libre2. Any suggestions as to where to set the alarms please?

[Chris @Clarinetchris]

@RosieMarsh95 Looks really good Rosie.....and I note your challenging target range. Well done! I have asked for Libre2 on my next prescription...i hope my surgery in Suffolk are able to offer it yet....
Don't the alarms annoy you though?
