@NeilWootton @KirstieMAllsopp @labour @KeirStarmerPM That’s incorrect. State funding per pupil is roughly 50% of £15k pa

@Pancreassassin @insulincyborg Yes, was coming on to say this. I heard pork/bovine insulin sometimes viable for those with allergies to synthetic insulin

@alisonpearsonSW @Nojoyinlife2 I’ve reported their tweet for hateful conduct

[Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥 @parthaskar]

It’s everywhere 😊
Yup - even @LEGO_Group

And indeed that is a sensor on the blonde ladies arm…😊

All part of standard life #T1D

Love to see this 💙

@AlanGeraldWard2 @KateCushing2 @alisonpearsonSW The quality of our society is how we look after the most vulnerable.

@alisonpearsonSW @Danwhite1972 @abbyaug @JeremyVineOn5 @vicderbyshire @DrFrancesRyan @Femi_Sorry @simonharris_mbd @Rachael_Swindon @MichaelRosenYes @BBCBreaking Alison this is unutterably vile. I’m so sorry that there are people who feel empowered to say such disgusting things under the pretence that they are rational rather than abhorrent.

@alisonpearsonSW @Danwhite1972 @abbyaug @JeremyVineOn5 @vicderbyshire @DrFrancesRyan @Femi_Sorry @simonharris_mbd @Rachael_Swindon @BBCBreaking Notice the capital letters for 'functioning'. It's a perfect example of how to reduce the idea of how a society sticks together to 'function', as if the 'economy' was a machine, and not a population of people.

@ALDiabetesUK Thank you. Have sent pm

[rachel 🌑 @bintsomama]

@ALDiabetesUK Hi there - struggling to get through via phone or email. Have ordered repeat insulin pump supplies via your form but not had the usual confirmation. Can you help?

[rachel 🌑 @bintsomama]

@thisislaurent Feel like I have seen a similar headline countless times in the past 8 years. At what point is the negative impact of these doom ridden headlines balanced against their effectiveness? Because they don’t seem to be doing much good.

[rachel 🌑 @bintsomama]

@Beth_Baldwin So sorry for your loss and in awe of the work you do in his memory 💙

[rachel 🌑 @bintsomama]

@MzBelindaW @Rachy_Lou84 @SqueakyLJR @parthaskar @DiabetesUK Yes, there should definitely be solutions that are workable for everyone

[rachel 🌑 @bintsomama]

@Rachy_Lou84 @SqueakyLJR @parthaskar @DiabetesUK They should have sought your advice about what would make him comfortable and you might have suggested alerts on vibrate for example. My son will sit his GCSEs in a separate room so he can deal with his number and take breaks, but also because the alerts would be distracting

[rachel 🌑 @bintsomama]

@Rachy_Lou84 @SqueakyLJR @parthaskar @DiabetesUK I think school have handled it badly. I remember my 8 year (pre cgm) being told he would only be allowed his blood glucose monitor in a music theory exam if he could do it quietly 😡 1/2

@BootsUK my daughter had a skin reaction to the adhesive in these plasters. It’s the first time she’s reacted to adhesive (age 11). Can you point me to info on what the adhesive contains and any alternatives?

[rachel 🌑 @bintsomama]

@EdieLizzard @MrsNickyClark Do you know how long it takes on average to get an MS or lupus diagnosis for example?

[rachel 🌑 @bintsomama]

@flippper1 @parthaskar @DiabeticDadUK @cahmn @Tims_Pants @AdrianLong3 @LinsayHalladay @diabetes_chat @WilmotEmma @Kes_t1D_SW @LisWarren @chrisbrighty1 That's a really good way of summing it up but would probably include older children and adolescents in that along with pregnant and menopausal people - so a criterion for significant physical changes that impact insulin requirements unpredictably.

[rachel 🌑 @bintsomama]

@NativveResearch Very conflicted about this research. My daughter who is eligible is mature enough to have decided she doesn't want to participate which I think is the right decision. Without significant psychological support, it's a hell of a Damocles sword to deal with.

@MAbsoud @itvnews I’ve reported this tweet. Deliberately and persistently minimising or denying the experiences of people with long covid is ablist and harmful.
