Last week, our team had the chance to attend the Challenge Award Innovation ceremony organised by the @Diabetes Center Berne.
Special focus on the inspiring keynote given by Jack Trigger, a solo sailor with T1D and a role model for overcoming diabetes which has never limited him
We’d like to say a huge #ThankYou to all our amazing #SouthWest#volunteers who joined us at our fab first ever National online Conference, and to @TriggerSailing for giving such a fascinating and fun talk! And good luck with your future adventures Jack!
Some pictures of our Volunteering Conference at the weekend: Our volunteer Carol Ross, Dr Zoe Waller Ass Prof in Drug Discovery at UCL School of Pharmacy and sailor Jack Trigger, who lives with type 1 diabetes among others. What an inspirational event

I am now an ambassador for @AbbottNews and @FreeStyleDiabet! If you’ve ever wondered about the little round disc on my arm that isn’t just a fashion accessory.. It’s called #FreeStyleLibre and is a glucose monitor. There is no way I could sail offshore on my own without it.
