@RenzaS @DrNotDrYet_Jacq I’ve had several family member already send me message of “congratulations you can be cured”!

[My Type Of Family @MyTypeOfFamily]

@sotonDSN I suspect there are many fellow dsn’s with very little energy this evening. I take my hat off to you all because today must have been full of excitement but terribly hard too. Hope you’re all able to take a moment to breathe (& enjoy the scent of houseplants)

[My Type Of Family @MyTypeOfFamily]

@ShivGaffney @FlashSOTU52 I wonder how many of us have supplies, long forgotten about that we could dig out now?

You’re doing wonderful things Shiv, wonderful.

[My Type Of Family @MyTypeOfFamily]

@FlashSOTU52 @ShivGaffney Oh gosh, the memories of those long syringes are both horrifying and filled with gratitude that I had easy access to them when I was first diagnosed.

Sometimes, a visit can change lives!

Today?

7th November 1920 – Frederick Banting, paid a visit to scientist John Macleod.

To put their minds together

To discuss? The creation of #Insulin

The rest is history

Now that’s kinda special day - don’t you think so? 💙

[My Type Of Family @MyTypeOfFamily]

@RenzaS @parthaskar @hilarynathan01 @DSNforumUK @Kes_t1D_SW @DrAliLumb @mayng888 @Jazzsethi95 @JaneMCummings @BantingHouse @Tims_Pants “Collaboration by smart people” absolutely worthy of celebration & something that can be seen daily amongst the global #Type1DiabetesCommunity & the HCPs, researchers & organisations that support that.

@RenzaS @dedocORG @diabetes_chat @MenopauseMither @Diathlete @diabesties1 @bluecirclediab @IdocN @DiabetesSocMed So kind Renza, lots happening here in the background that will hopefully have a positive impact & very much inspired by the valuable contributions of the other people on the list. I am but a baby amongst inspirational giants. Thank you ALL for everything you do so inclusively

[My Type Of Family @MyTypeOfFamily]

I’m feeling on the verge myself 8 weeks in with baby number 3. Lots to unpack following his NICU journey & the desire to be well to keep my tiny humans safe & happy esp. when hubby’s on nightshifts. I imagine there are many in similar situations during this phase of life

[My Type Of Family @MyTypeOfFamily]

Hi @parthaskar I remember seeing a tweet where you asked about priority groups when loop is available. I’d like to suggest pregnancy & postpartum (I include dads in postpartum) due to the risk of burnout. Perhaps it could be more discretionary if the risk is high?

[My Type Of Family @MyTypeOfFamily]

@clarentina Congratulations! Trimester 2 is mental, just as you think you’ve worked it out, it’s all change again. Extended boluses, super boluses and TBRs are your friend. Also, your insulin activity time may have changed & be shorter, worth looking at. Eg I changed mine from 4 to 3 hrs

[My Type Of Family @MyTypeOfFamily]

Nothing about this thread is ok & it needs to change ASAP!
Any advice for @becky1507 @DSNforumUK @parthaskar
We know the postpartum period is like falling off a cliff (lots of us trying to change that) but what’s happening here is like she’s been pushed! #gbdoc #doc

[Becky @becky1507]

Remember when my diabetes team said they'd come see me straight after I had a baby to change my insulin pump settings and give me advice on diabetes post pregnancy and it's been 21 days now and I still haven't seen them
