Today is #WorldDiabetesDay!

🔹 It’s okay to not be okay.
🔹 Managing #diabetes can feel overwhelming - connecting with people with similar experiences can provide comfort.
🔹 Remember, you are not alone.

Widening access to diabetes tech is a critical priority for me in my role as an MSP.
I have regularly raised constituent concerns to Ministers and stakeholders. It is vital that technologies like HCL systems are rolled out as quickly as possible.

Great to see our ambassador, Sir Steve Redgrave supporting our #IfYouKnew campaign and sharing his story of living with type 2 diabetes as an elite athlete. 👏 💙 #WorldDiabetesDay

Today is World Diabetes Day. There are good days and there are bad days, but no matter how hard it gets you are more than your condition and it doesn’t define you.

#FMQs: Today is #WorldDiabetesDay. Diabetes tech can transform lives, but Scotland’s waiting lists are extremely long. England & Wales have 5-year plans; where’s Scotland’s?

I met with @DiabetesScot at Lib Dem conference to discuss the current situation for people living with diabetes in Scotland. It is clear that @scotogv needs to go further and faster in the roll out of diabetes tech. #DiabetesTechCantWait

🧡 We call the most common symptoms of #Type1Diabetes the 4Ts - do you remember what your first signs were before being diagnosed?
