100 years ago today, the first injection of insulin was the beginning of the end of #type1diabetes as a death sentence. Stay tuned on our socials to hear from people living with #type1 on how moving beyond insulin would be life-changing #GBDoc

💉 Today marks exactly 100 years since Leonard Thompson, a 14-year-old boy dying from type 1 diabetes, became the first person to receive an injection of insulin on 11 January 1922.

The NHS needs your help this weekend. Hospitals in Norfolk are currently experiencing exceptional levels of demand & we’re asking anyone considering attending our Emergency Department to please call 111 first, unless it is a life threatening emergency when you should call 999.

[JPUH NHS FT @JamesPagetNHS]

We’re continuing to ask you not to come into A&E unless it is a genuine emergency. Please can we ask you to call 111 if you have an urgent medical need but it’s not an emergency.

Please help us, help you. Please respect those who are dedicated to treating you, friends and family

Take regular screen breaks & adjust your viewing distance to minimise the risk of screen fatigue. View mobiles from 1 foot (30cm) away, computers & laptops from 2 feet (roughly an arms-length), and TV screens from 10 feet – depending how big the screen is! #lockdowneyecare 👀
