@sjl681105 @runr_uk @UKRunChat @racecheck That’s feels like a pretty significant metric bruv-well done!

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@sjl681105 @runr_uk @UKRunChat @racecheck Well done!

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@sjl681105 @runr_uk @UKRunChat @racecheck @runnersworlduk Great news!

@SheffieldType1s @Endo_Gremlin @DiabeticDadUK @drpratikc I am closed loop, although DIY. It is “better”-no doubt. I just relate to it also being more complex. Tougher targets, more to think about and frustrating tech fails. It will get better..😊

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@Endo_Gremlin @DiabeticDadUK I totally relate to this! For me, it’s definitely a lot better now in many ways, but yes it’s also a lot at times. It was simpler then. I would probably be suffering from complications if things hadn’t got better though..?

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@t1dtogether I am and it works Ok. Some sensors seem better than others and I’m carrying the phone with me all the time to avoid disconnection!

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@type1d3 It works for me! I’ve found with libre2 and xDrip (no miaomiao) connection can drop, which is a pain, but I’m newish to that setup so could be a rare issue. I now make sure phone (thigh pocket) is on the same side as libre (arm) and no probs since 🤞🏻

@cathy_fielding @RunComPod @TGCRunning Such an interesting 🧵! For the past 2 yrs I’ve run fasted with no fuel & 2 half’s @2h 30. All training was also fasted, and only did this due to diabetes. I’m just trying to figure out fueling again tho!

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@sjl681105 Ahh let me know how that goes! A friend here tagged her cats but caused more stress than help as they were often not accurate…

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@Anniecoops I totally relate to this, it is so hard. Well done on all the progress you’ve made. Keep going, 1 or 2 bad days doesn’t undo all the good work, but give yourself time to recover from a tough day as well. ❤️

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@sjl681105 Oh dear! Jasper was “missing” most of the day yesterday, that was stressful enough! Turns out he was hanging out with a neighbour!

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@sjl681105 @runr_uk @UKRunChat @runnersworlduk @racecheck Oh no! Hope it heals fast!

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@stevemorganfdn @DiabetesUK @JDRFUK Such an exciting opportunity right now, thank you so much! This will change the face of T1D, what an exciting time!

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@ChrisAskewCE @stevemorganfdn @JDRFUK @DiabetesUK Just incredible! So excited to see what this brings. Thank you!

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@DiabeticDadUK There is definitely no such thing as a stupid question. I think the #T1D community on here is the best for respecting that and those who are brave enough to ask and share how tough it can be.

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@charliepurdue @adidasrunning @adidas @bostonmarathon Amazing run @charliepurdue!

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@parthaskar Oh what a beautiful message. One that reflects my own sense of huge gratitude. So lovely he took the time to write.

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@akerfonta @betacellpodcast Me too! So strange-and annoying!

[Sarah Loddick @LeadersInFlow]

@type1christine I still do this! It means you don’t have to apply so much effort to draw the insulin so less bubbles! If you put in a bit more air than you plan to draw it will draw itself.
