A cool but sunny autumn morning catching a train but to where?

@diabetes_chat Not going to Cardiff but I am going to Leeds next month

@Type1Tony @dexcom Perhaps fill in a yellow card report as well as requesting a replacement. The yellow card App makes it pretty easy. I did this when I had multiple Simplera sensors fail.

Very frustrating

Well that’s a bust - on my way to pre course assessment appointment for @DAFNEUK phone call from admin to say course cancelled 😡 date was in the diary for more than six months and it was the only course @CDDFTDiabetes were running this year.

@FlashSOTU52 Having waited nearly seven years from diagnosis and more than six months since my DAFNE course date was allocated I was on my way to the pre course assessment when admin phoned and said cancelled …..

@ShivaniM_KC Chick pea and aubergine stew in the Air France lounge - not quite what I was expecting but it was nice

@InvernessCastle yesterday - building is beautiful and views spectacular. Really enjoyed the experience and tea and cake in the bistro

Does anyone on here have any experience of undiagnosed ADHD and menopause? I feel like I've had a hand grenade lobbed into my life.

@FlashSOTU52 I was well wrapped up this morning catching a train in the North of Scotland - was in single figures 🥶

Agree that autumn is on the way - I’ve selected my initial FF squad which always seems to be a harbinger of winter - how about you?

Dramatic sky over moody mountains @CarrbridgeGolf

Course is so much greener than back home. Enjoyed my 9 holes today. Managed a nice par on this hole.

"When diabetes is viewed as a 'battle,' every glucose reading outside target range becomes a 'failure,' every complication becomes a 'defeat.'

Living well with diabetes requires adaptation and coexistence, say Renza Scibilia and colleagues

@Kidfears99 Hope you’re recovering, it will take time and lots of sleep regardless of the cause (I was diagnosed with a stroke and T1D on the same day). Be prepared for lots of tests; one I did enjoy was the bubble test checking I didn’t have a hole in my heart. Hope you get some answers. 💕

Thought this looked great when it came out from under the grill 😋

Comfort food - macaroni cheese with pancetta

[💕🫖☕️Gillian Kerr @Kerr21Kerr]

@ellierosehuckle That’s tough and just makes everything more complicated, here’s hoping that once you have a diagnosis and some advice it will get easier 💕

@ShivaniM_KC Thank you - my company makes awards every five years so this will be the last one as I’m intending to retire in about a year’s time
