Day 2 of being on a hybrid closed loop system #hcl Absolutely ground breaking medically, a revalation mentally. My brain feels like it's been given its first holiday in 33 years. Amazing work by @Insulet_UK@FreeStyleDiabet and the passion of people like @parthaskar. 🙏🏼❤️
It's the start of #HypoAwarenessWeek!
Today we want to raise awareness about what a hypo is and how long recovery can sometimes take. This is especially important for those supporting young people in schools.
💙Please do share to help raise awareness! 💙

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.

@parthaskar@Shelleymurray99 Sorry to jump in on your post, here in N.I. my daughter was given a month's trial on omnipod 5 with Dexcom 6 in July, now have to pay for dexcom 6 as the Libre 2 plus on script doesn't have follow option?
📣Hybrid closed loop (HCL) is set to be available on the NHS to people with #Type1Diabetes in England and Wales!
We've been driving research to develop HCL for almost 20 years. Now, HCL is set to be a reality!🎊

T1DM child. On closed-loop system. HbA1C from 67 to 39 in the space of a year. Barely any hypos.
@parthaskar and all others who have lobbied for closed-loop - a massive thank you.
Momentous 🏆
So many lives will change as a result of this🤞
September 6th 1999, the day that #T1D turned my world upside down. October 12th 2023 the day HCL, made it a little easier again 🙏
Now, it’ll be the journey of the many, in the years to come. Incredible news 🤞
Incredible news for ppl affected by #T1D - impacting not just those living with this relentless condition, but family, partners etc 💙 a moment to celebrate & give thanks to all involved.
HCL (I use a DIY version) really helps ease some of the burden - and sleep better. #GBDoc

Look more into it and don't assume or judge that you know what is best for those living with type 1 diabetes. mobile phones for type 1 diabetic's isn't an excuse to use a phone just for the fun of it, it is a tool that helps keep one alive. :) @Paulalondonnews
Dear @SteveBarclay, hybrid closed loop has the potential to transform the lives of people with type 1 diabetes, will you make sure funding isn't a barrier to this innovative and life-changing tech? #DiabetesTechCantWait
