@chrisbrighty1 @SanofiUK @BT1DUK @BeanoOfficial @hilarynathan01 @danfarrow9 @KarenFAddington @tejlovell @parthaskar What a wonderful announcement for #WorldDiabetesDay2024

There was actually a real life T1DHero in @BeanoOfficial Britain's funniest class this year. She'll be delighted to see this when she gets home from school today

Year 6 cranked up the heat with their joke! 👀

Meet the class clowns who tickled the nation's funny bone, as they get a visit from the Bash Street School bus! 🚍

Congratulations to Year 6, Northside Primary School and hats off to Mrs. Crouchley, Britain’s Funniest Teacher! 😆

We're taking part in One Walk London on 22 June for JDRF UK to help support breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes

If you feel able to sponsor us, we'd be really grateful x @gpollara

But GP leaders vigorously attacked the Tory plans, saying the party has underfunded general practice for over a decade, leading to the current situation of practice decline and closures. https://t.co/DQ8VXvMSZN

[Liz Pollara @LizPollara]

Sunak laughed BUT this GP is spot on, there IS a primary care crisis, with unemployed GPs driven out of work by existing government policies

This needs to be urgently addressed by the next government

@gpollara I'm drinking bacteria for your Twitter fame and you don't even loop me into the post!

[Liz Pollara @LizPollara]

@gpollara I could say, that's the last cup of tea you're making for me. Grrrrr

But no, you mock my tea, you'll be making tea for life.....

"They said it 'looks weird'" (to self inject insulin on court) - this is not acceptable language #LanguageMatters #T1D

@rolandgarros - apologise and find a solution for @AlexZverev now!

#FrenchOpen2023

[Breakthrough T1D UK @BT1DUK]

People with #Type1Diabetes must inject many times a day to stay alive. We’re shocked that @AlexZverev will not be able to access his insulin on court in the French Open. Everyone must be able to manage their #Type1 wherever they are, anytime @rolandgarros https://t.co/547i2Nrtcn

@type1doctor You're welcome! Good luck with the Hackney Half and GP training x

I think a retraction and apology is in order for this @TheSun

What do you think @DiabetesUK @JDRFUK @parthaskar

Time to check on my little 'potato' before bedtime....#ParentingT1

@DiabetesUK @TheSun @chrisbrighty1
Just for reference “couch potatoes” isn’t an appropriate term to describe someone with type one diabetes. true that regular exercise reduces blood sugars. Many type one diabetics are actually athletes or more active than the average person.

Show me Type 1 Diabetes?

First day back at school and I just said 'Have an awesome day' as my daughter happily ran in....

Without needing to say 'Can I scan you first?'

To me, that's an important #DexcomG7 difference

Not as impressive, but water freezing on coming out of the guttering this morning ... #propercold ❄️

[Lochlan's Legacy @LochlansLegacy]

November is Diabetes Awareness Month! We pledge to raise as much awareness on T1D possible! Massive shout out to all our Type 1 Warriors 💙 #lochlanslegacy #t1dandme #t1ddoesntstopme #DiabetesAwareness #reducestigma #breakdownbarriers #type1diabetes #t1d

@DiabeticDadUK Very good. I literally didn't use the term 'find her tribe' in this tweet for that very reason

Hearing my 9 year old say 'Can we try 𝘹𝘺𝘻 for hypos because my friend does?' demonstrates the positivity of peer support in #T1D

Thanks to @t1_today for an amazing conference - full of fun, laughter and the opportunity for my girls to find their people

[Liz Pollara @LizPollara]

I can't think of any other condition which requires such unrelenting commitment and deep understanding by the individual as #T1D

I'd not fully appreciated this until my daughter was diagnosed #DiabetesAwarenessMonth (despite being a doctor 😔)

[Diabetic Dad @DiabeticDadUK]

A thing which I would love non-diabetic folk to understand; The frequent necessity to "calculate" and consider the "what if..." despite doing very normal activities. Their brains don't need to think like ours and carry the exhaustion that follows. #DiabetesAwarenessMonth #GBDoc

Wonderful closing keynote by @PeteDaviesType1 - reflecting on the advances in #T1D over the past 60 years and full of optimism and hope for the future

A real life story of never letting diabetes stand in the way of your dreams! @t1_today

[Peter Davies @PeteDaviesType1]
