Thanks for sharing this incredible achievement @DiabetesUK - hadn’t realised there were people who’d clocked up 90yrs living with #T1D - congratulations Betty!! #gbdoc

INFORMATION:

If you have #T1Diabetes
And are on a stand-alone #InsulinPump along with any #CGM as part of your care funded by the #NHS?

You can be upgraded (if you so wish) to a #ClosedLoop system - pretty much ASAP

As it's cost neutral/cost saving to local system.

Scientists hail ‘smart’ insulin that responds to changing blood sugar levels in real time https://t.co/T2EFezcGOP

As a very wise clinician recently said, #diabetes is the only long term condition requiring continuous input from the person living with it. It’s the only hormonal condition requiring continual monitoring & fine tuning of meds, diet, activity, stress, etc to reduce harm.

A promise made?
A promise kept

We begin the journey of getting this technology into lives of those living with #T1Diabetes

'The best things science can provide at the moment- to those living with #T1D- beyond a cure'

Today: last day of
#DiabetesAwarenessMonth

Yet it should be more about this month or that day

Simple things for HCP?

Don’t prejudge others whose lives you don’t live

Don’t believe you know the answers to others issues from positions of privilege

Be a guide,not a gatekeeper

Wrapping up this important project

Sneak preview.

To be released when @NICEComms greenlights #ClosedLoop work - thus incorporating up to date guidelines in #T1Diabetes

A decision support tool (DST) for those with #T1D

Thank you to all who helped.

It's cooking 🙂

Exciting new #research into a #cure for #Type1Diabetes! 📢

Genetically engineered beta cells transplanted into mice with #T1D avoid immune system attack and stabilise blood glucose levels without immunosuppressants 🧫

Top tip to anyone with #T1Diabetes

Be clear about what you are eligible for
Ask for help amongst peers

Do not get fobbed off
The community is strong- ask for help

Keep asking- it’s your life.

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

Last week the @Telegraph published a health feature (in link)which @JDRFUK felt was misleading & contained inaccuracies. We contacted the journalist but did not get a reply. We then wrote the letter to below which was published in the @Telegraph today .

“A black child with #T1Diabetes has half the chance of getting a #CGM compared to a white child”

Yes,am aware it makes some uncomfortable when I tweet/say that

Use your discomfort/outrage to improve the data

And no, there is no other way to stop me saying so

As we were.

Let the disruption in the world of #technology continue 😊

The #NHS will become the place to have cutting edge treatment for #T1D 💙 #gbdoc
