For anyone who wants to give Acceptance & Commitment Therapy a try there’s a free online course available here: https://t.co/KbvFyFbi2s
This therapy fits really well for people living with LTCs like diabetes, I use it all the time in my clinical work!

Higher self-esteem and social support may protect against the negative emotional impact of diabetes stigma. New ACBRD research: https://t.co/ounIn17Ki7 @holmestruscott @JaneSpeight #diabetesstigma

[EROS STUDY @ErosStudy]

Yes - some really interesting and insightful findings coming from our interviews with young adults with diabetes! We look forward to feeding back soon!

[Fabiana Lorencatto @fabilorencatto]

@x_ackers_x Agree-Really unhelpful! I’m a T1D-have been through this, but also a researcher.We’re trying to address this as part of @ErosStudy. Heard similar things in interviews w/ T1+T2s. Will be feeding this back w/ recommendations to screening services.Small step but 🤞🏻to raise awareness

[Dr. Rebecca Thomas @beckylt09]

Nice to see this paper in print at last. Attendance at first screening is protective against future non attendance. Multiple house moves increases the risk of non attendance at screening @ErosStudy @DiabetesWales @JudeKayNHS @DiabetesUKCymru

Can you help @celik_aycn and @ayatemple connect with women with #type2diabetes aged 18-45 years to learn more about their experiences of life with #diabetes? @LDC_tweets @SAHealthAction @BAMEHealth_BHM @blkwomenshealth @CulturalKings @kingshealth

Useful info sheet about the restart of diabetic eye screening from @beckylt09 and @parthaskar

[Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥 @parthaskar]

Lots of understandable worry about information regards #RetinalScreening #Diabetes

So @beckylt09 and myself have joined hands to look through all the @PHE_UK guidance and helped create an info-sheet!

Hope this helps 💙

Some information from the brilliant @Moorfields team here hopefully it will reassure a little if you’ve had ophthalmology appointments cancelled during Covid-19. If you notice changes do get them checked out though
