Thinking of trying #CGM, either for yourself or for someone you care for? After years of thinking about it, I'm starting a project to develop resources for CGM users. I'd be very grateful your response to this 5-min survey. https://t.co/H7Vu2qV33p. Please RT & thank you💐

@kdisimone Thank you!

[melissa_writes @melissa_writes]

@kdisimone Really boring detail question: what font is used for the word Loop here?

[melissa_writes @melissa_writes]

@parthaskar @JudithBoyce4 @INPUTdiabetes @NICEcomms @JDRFUK @DTN_UK @Anniecoops @KarenFAddington @ChrisAskewCE @WilmotEmma @DSNforumUK @NHS And please get in touch with @INPUTdiabetes via https://t.co/UAVV8EOyTQ for help with the process from Input:JDRF 👍

@parthaskar @NICEcomms @NHSCCPress @INPUTdiabetes @DiabetesUK @JDRFUK @DSNforumUK @DTN_UK My move when I hear ‘CCG funding issue’ is to ask the person to request a letter from clinical team re the CCG situation. Except once, the true reason = clinic capacity 😕. Please ask DMers in England/Wales/NI to do https://t.co/UAVV8EOyTQ so we can assist them + teams? Thanks!!

@GingerVieira @MelindaSeedT1D Had an OB specialist in the joint diabetes + antenatal clinic tell me at 34 wks that even with an A1C of 5.5, as I had, it was just more common for women like me with T1 to have big babies - when the weight prediction was 8lbs.

@bigpurpleduck @k_d85 @flippper1 When I went kayaking the odds were high and I wasn't prepared...you going boating, Kris? Or really not near water??

[melissa_writes @melissa_writes]

@bigpurpleduck @k_d85 @flippper1 Travel insurance for something awful like breaking a bone or getting a terrible infection that needs treatment before you could fly back!
