@sotonDSN @alisonleary1 @scivier_martin @irenep671 I remember being laughed at and ridiculed for stating exactly the same concerns on the uk diabetes nurse specialist forum some years ago

@basi_manraj @novonordisk Just what we were saying a few weeks ago. Went away with the Nottingham lot. All gone down hill since he died. It’s all about money and type 2. Never mind the type 1 and insulins anymore!!!

[colette besant @coletteab71]

I’m so disappointed with @novonordisk I understand the economics but they used to be such a patient focussed company. No more.

Time in range or time in tight range? What matters to you?

If you have T1DM please spare a few moments to complete this important survey:

Really interesting evening last night looking at freestyle libre 2 for those with type 2 diabetes. Cost benefit evidence there. Shame representative of @HWEICB weren’t able to make it in the end.

Hope you are having a fabulous 🎂 birthday @BethPitsone xxx

@basi_manraj I know. Whole system unfair

[colette besant @coletteab71]

Find it frustrating that due to being asked to work in a small area of Hertfordshire not covered by London waiting I earn significantly less than members of the same team and grade despite having to attend meetings etc in the area that does receive London waiting.

[colette besant @coletteab71]

We will definitely miss your great sense of humour and wish you all the best. Fabulous nurses who I have had the honour to work with and call colleagues and friends xx

[HCT_EandNdiabetes @eandndiabetes]

Yesterday during our team meeting we said a sad goodbye to two wonderful diabetes specialist nurses who cover the Stevenage area @stanisstreet @claire wood. We will miss you both enormously and wish you both lots of luck in your future ventures.

@Martin_Impey Martin have you read In memoriam. Really brings home how young so many of these boys were. It’s a beautifully written book x

@Halfords_uk mot failure for split wiper blades. Charge £67 to fit new ones. Can buy new blades in Halfords shop and get fitted for £28. Told by the garage oh no we don’t use Halfords. You ARE Halfords. Feeling very ripped off. Please explain

We’re all ready for Hypo Awareness Week! It’s a crucial time to highlight and reduce hypoglycaemia, a common short-term complication of #diabetes. Stay tuned for tips, resources, and more! #HAW2024 #HypoAwarenessWeek #HypoChampion
