Hi all - just to say, whilst we'll be continuing #brickabetes into 2017, but not on a daily basis (sorry). We'll still be here to chat tho!

This makes me so happy I’m doing a little dance 💃. I’m on the train though so it’s happening in my head 😊

[Brickabetes @brickabetes]

There's nothing quite like being stopped in your tracks as your pump tubing gets caught on a door handle #ow #brickabetes #diabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc

[Adrian Hall @crunchynuttauk]

@brickabetes Yep I'm familiar with this 😖 Another one I get is sitting in chairs with sidearms and catching your pump clipped on your waist

[Kevin McCann @Clan_McCann]

So painful!

[Brickabetes @brickabetes]

@MartiBennett Good luck! It's just a number- sure you're doing an amazing job 😊

[Brickabetes @brickabetes]

If you or your kids are heading back to school, keeping doing an amazing job! #brickabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc #lego #diabetes

*quickly hides behind newspaper* Er... No... No - not at all

[Brickabetes @brickabetes]

Your bloods might *be* OK but when they *feel* rubbish, that's no fun #lego #diabetes #brickabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc

[Brickabetes @brickabetes]

@Diabeloop Thank you!

Not being able to get out of bed for 2 days, needing frequent afternoon naps and a brain that’s buried in constant fog...

The effect of sleep deprivation/interrupted sleep thanks to #Type1diabetes shouldn’t be underestimated 😴 #brickabetes

[Brickabetes @brickabetes]

@georgeinsoutham @DSNforumUK 👋 thank you!!

[Brickabetes @brickabetes]

Managing #diabetes isn't always just about the day-to-day insulin, carb counting and glucose tests - there's basic things like 'sleep' as well... #lego #diabetes #brickabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc
