@Kerr21Kerr @ShivieArgyle Thanks for sharing.

[iPAG Scotland @iPAG_Scot]

Looking for creative ideas to show what life with T1 is really like.

We can write but it’s just words. Easily forgotten.

A good DSN is worth their weight in gold

[LesleyR @T1_Lesley]

Friend posted a pic out for the night with my old DSN. Posted I missed her she was my favourite DSN. (She got me tech & looked after me when I was in hospital) Son works in the bar & just messaged he’d ran into her & she’s delighted you’ve made her night.

If you were face to face with the Health Secretary @AConstance23 or the Public Health Minister @MareeToddMSP, what would you say to make them reverse the decision to remove centralised funding for diabetes tech?

Personally, I cry when I read this.

The author now has HCL but even that wasn’t straight forward.

A 🧵from our colleague whos MSP sought an answer for us before the dissolution of the @ScotParl

[Stephen Nixon @SkintoMcGinto]

I had massive concerns after we (as @iPAG_Scot) found out that centralised funding for the roll-out of hybrid closed loop technology was being withdrawn. I contacted now former local list MSP, @FoysolChoudhury, to ask an urgent question to the minister responsible, @jenni_minto
