It is grossly offensive to type 1 diabetics that the @NHSuk has sent out an ask to join a research programme and binned all diabetes together. I'm outraged. You cannot prevent type 1 diabetes & it's dangerous to propagate the myth you can

@easyJet My hubby & I were delayed >5 h. You've rejected TWO claims citing they are 3rd party. I got married, so changed my name. My account is in my maiden name, my tickets in my married name. This is discriminatory. I would like an immediate resolution pls.

@David__Osland And welcome to the problems that people with diabetes all across the world face with getting insulin every day 😩 entirely unaffordable because of big pharma

My 11 year old son get £7.50 a week pocket money. I tax and NI him and he also has to save 20% each week so he's left with about 4 quid. He hates the tax man already and he's now starting to hate the government. May as well start them early.

Today @beisgovuk has published outline details on how it will support global research and innovation in the event of non-association to Horizon Europe. UKRI's International Champion Christopher Smith welcomes this important step https://t.co/eQUR9rronM

@SkyNews Type 1 diabetes or Type 2 diabetes. There's a difference. Please correct your article. https://t.co/sve7ZwU5ik

[Rebecca Quinn @ahoybecks]

@sainsburys I think your math is off and this is dangerous for T1 diabetics calculating how much insulin to take
Per 100g*4=400g or p 1/2 pack*2=400g. The two columns don't equal the same. E.g. 16.8g V 15.4g carb or 2136kJ V 1964 kJ. #diabetes

@thehipcheck67 No way. I use vials right to the end, and split my reservoir refill across two vials if needed. If I need to use an emergency pen, I use my old pen with literally YEARS old insulin that has been on holiday, sat in extreme heat etc. IT STILL WORKS.

I spent yesterday writing about the technicalities of domicile as they might impact Rishi Sunak’s wife. But that’s because her tax decisions cast doubt on his suitability for office. Another thread, this time in the man himself ….

@MikeVolc Congrats!

A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed.

She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class.

So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.

I am normally content to RT others' hot takes, but I am so shocked and appalled at @RishiSunak's Spring Statement I have been moved to comment. A short thread. /1

@parthaskar @JDRFUK @NHSDiabetesProg @Anniecoops @mcginn_maureen @LisWarren @AdrianLong3 @JamieFonzarelli @DiabetesUK @Rezaidi @WilmotEmma Can you comment on what it does that differs from Libre 2 in terms of functionality / accuracy etc? Curious to know when would someone need to be on Libre 3 over Libre 2 for eg as Libre 2 alarms without scanning.

NEW: time for a Covid situation update

Cases and hospitalisations are rising again across much of the western world.

What’s driving the rise, and should we be worried?

[Bjorn Steinbekk @BSteinbekk]

Magestical blow!
It’s almost a year since the volcano erupted. To celebrate I plan to release some old and never published videos over the next few weeks. Hope you like it! #SharingIsCaring
