Place prescription via EMIS. Go to collect & it doesn't exist. Visit GP & EMIS auto decided I've received to much Novorapid. I can have more in MARCH!
Thanks @BootsUK for sorting an emergency supply & GP for sorting via paper, but what clown dreamed up this idea?! #GBDoc #T1D

@NTSscamsteam @EE Thanks for the help Fiona. Have a great day 🙂

@Bikery1966 I've been running a radar and camera on my commuter bike all year. Reading through the data can be terrifying seeing that in some areas only 30% of drivers obey the speed limit, with one being clocked at 90 in a 40 zone near a school (a 3rd do over 60 in that area).

After 3 months of chasing all the pump manufacturers for answers, it's time my 10 year old @MedtronicUK pump is retired and a move to @myomnipod and @dexcom . It's going to be interesting to see where this pump will travel and how much hell it can survive #GBDoc #type1diabetes

@ElisawenLingas Will be curious to see where she pops up later in the story. Can't wait to find out 😁

[Allan @Nyadach]

@ElisawenLingas She's much nicer though... Once you get to know her 😂

@BethesdaSupport @LadyKurai Might be worth having a unified message! One min you post PC login issues, then you say to those who point this out there aren't any issues, or servers are off for maintenance (which is consoles). Please, can we receive a unified message of their being issues on PC! Thank you.

[Allan @Nyadach]

@BethesdaSupport Hi folks, is EU PC login server having issues again? As for the past 10mins it's timed out, timed out, and timed out? Thanks, #teso

@GbdocTChost not even close tonight! #GBDoc

[Allan @Nyadach]

@GbdocTChost A5 Difficult, the making yourself high before bed to make sure you get through the night, but waking up feeling meh due to the high isn't ever a good "fix", but sadly sometimes the only way :( #GBDoc

[Allan @Nyadach]

@GbdocTChost Not great AT ALL! Was meant to get an emergency appointment last Dec...got a phone call in August. Call said, we need to see you too get everything updated within the next 2 weeks....and we're now in October :P Sadly care in recent years has disintegrated :( #GBDoc

[Allan @Nyadach]

@GbdocTChost Had one when I went so cramped up literally pulled my back and couldn't walk for 3 days. Was a major nasty hypo that one in the sleep. The ones where you simply never wake, probably even worse! #GBDoc

[Allan @Nyadach]

@GbdocTChost Or the, you never wake up and someone from work has to come break in and hypostop you :( #GBDoc

[Allan @Nyadach]

@GbdocTChost A3 Not so much fear of hypo's, but those lows during the night when you cramp up and and rips your muscles. Never good way to wake up in pain...that's if you wake up at all that is like mentioned earlier. #GBDoc

[Allan @Nyadach]

@GbdocTChost A2 A wonderful infusion set which stung like hell in my thigh. Everytime I rolled on that, YIKES! #GBDoc

[Allan @Nyadach]

@AndMyT1Dragon @GbdocTChost Giving the good ol cloudy'n'clear a mix! The big issue for me is we've had CGM for over 14 years, we've had pumps available for decades. In other counties, it's all the default option. Yet here? We faff around and are still putting up barriers and causing greater long-term harm.

[Allan @Nyadach]

@DiabeticDadUK AMEN!

[Allan @Nyadach]

@DiabeticDadUK And think this just goes to underline what you mentioned the other day. It's fantastic kids get access first, but when it comes to saving money for the NHS, maybe others need including also #GBDoc

New data published from our Quality Improvement Collaborative shows that adults over the age of 40 with #T1D are 4 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than children with T1D: https://t.co/x7dCeTbNwD
