@Tims_Pants @RocheDiabetes Yikes that is bad. I do think one day the "who owns the data" will raise its head. They all say the patient but then things like this come up.

[James Thurlow @james_thurlow]

@DiabetesUK Oops - that looks like a "we have read your comments, and decided that we should ignore them". I do sincerely hope that the trustees do their job on this one.

[James Thurlow @james_thurlow]

@DiabetesUK Whoops - you messed up here. Reframing what you have done with an article, doesn't change what you have done. As the saying goes - you can't polish a turd. You really do need to flush this one away.

[James Thurlow @james_thurlow]

@Tims_Pants 🧐kind of good but kind of bad. You summerise it well. As a middle aged bloke with an okish H1c, best not expect a call soon. If want to extend life then best suggestion is upskill and get on AAPS.. the other option is to get frustrated and spend next 10 yrs whinging.

@parthaskar @NHSDiabetesProg @DiabetesAudit @DSNforumUK @hilarynathan01 @CharlotteAugst @DiabeticDadUK @AdrianLong3 @AimeeRobson4 @chrisbrighty1 @Anniecoops @Tims_Pants @geraldinegallen Sorry its ambiguous - but quality of life. I'm on that DIY one.. and understand this is not for mass roll out. But the outcomes are so much more than better control. I can sleep, concentrate on work, do things, knowing that my phone is keeping an eye out for me.

@Tims_Pants I've been looking in to CE certification for another product, and was surprised that for many products self certification that it meets EU laws is enough to add this label. Wondering if CGMS have to get external approval to add this mark.. if not have to question its value.

@AllyBeaven Think you may have just offended a whole country.

@TADtalkEvents Hi I've replied to a couple of emails but never get a reply. Worried my email is in your junk box. JT

For me - not a great fan of seeing myself on film. Here being interviewed on my wisdom of putting on events with Kate from @RunUltra_UK

@AllyBeaven @jameselsons Oh deary me.. leave the event in the hands of Chris Mills (Open Tracking). Can't guess what carnage there will be when the feature of upload your own photo is released later this year.

James on Hols (Open Tracking).

Shows you have put time to your response. Hope its considered appropiately.

[James Thurlow @james_thurlow]

@AdrianLong3 Fine words, which resonate with my heart.

[James Thurlow @james_thurlow]

@parthaskar I'm probably not the only one who uses the force to work out carbs :-) Keep well.

[James Thurlow @james_thurlow]

Inspirational people with Type1 diabetes doing amazing things in 2022. Chris Cope running for 6 days on the @DragonsBackRace, Helen Mercer on the @ARWorldSeries expedition race with @durtyevents, and Scott Newburn running 190 miles with the @northerntravrse and @OureaEvents

[James Thurlow @james_thurlow]

@type1christine Does make me sick thinking of it as a disability. For me its not. perhaps one day the side effects will result in a disability, just now it doesn't stop me doing what my peers are doing. To capitalise on it, doesn't help T1's get jobs and re-enforces stereotypes.

[James Thurlow @james_thurlow]

@Tims_Pants Kind of intrigued - speculating that some feel a lot more comfortable with heavy regulation Vs those who feel it stifles innovation and development.

[James Thurlow @james_thurlow]

@Tims_Pants @parthaskar @DTN_UK @WilmotEmma It's odd as it's expensive advertising, that ultimately is paid for by NHS or those who pay out of pocket. Unless they have a magic money tree.

[James Thurlow @james_thurlow]

Sad world.. hope this lady finds a way out.
