Few weeks ago, I had the honour of meeting Her Majesty The Queen at @ucl in London. Thank you @JDRFUK for the kind invitation. It was an honour to participate and speak to Her Majesty.
New video interview! Dexcom just published their first ever Customer Advisory Council Report — and as a member of the Advisory Council featured in it, I sat down with their CEO & CTO.

Omnipod voluntary recall — this affects Omnipod 5, DASH, and Eros pods. A manufacturing defect can cause a small cannula tear leading to insulin under-delivery.
~7 million pods affected across the US and international markets.

🚨 This one’s a first. Dexcom has revealed that two lots of scrapped G7 sensors were stolen before they could be destroyed and sold on the market. If you have lot 1725204004 or 1725069002, stop using them. Verify your sensor is not impacted here: https://t.co/GcC9PuriI4
An appeal to @ScotGovFM@AConstance23@theSNP to kindly reconsider the decision around funding for #T1Diabetes and #Technology 🏴
We are happy to share data from across @NHSEngland@DHSCgovuk re data, impact and benefits 🏴
We cannot and should not have variable care across the 4 countries 🇬🇧
Thank you for considering please 🙏🏽
#gbdoc 💙
Amidst a sea of poor data around maternity care?
Did you know- that post national implementation of use of #CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitors) in women with #T1Diabetes going through pregnancy-started 2021?
% of pregnancies with serious adverse events have dropped - as well as % of congenital anomalies
Population wide change
Using technology which aids self management
Implementation of an RCT into lives- without issues of deprivation or ethnicity.

Today?
As a community in the world of #T1Diabetes - we take a moment to pause for @triggersbroom17 (John and Emma Story)
It should have been a day of celebration - the 3rd birthday of Lyla
It isn't- and a collective hug from us all.
And a promise to keep working and ensuring we make things better- and prevent such a heart breaking tragedy
And urging @NHSEngland to take this with the seriousness it deserves -and giving it the utmost priority- and leadership attention it deserves.
Happy heavenly birthday Lyla x 😢

Minimed (formerly Medtronic Diabetes) just got FDA clearance for a brand-new insulin pump. Major redesign vs 780G—and having seen it in person, it’s impressively small.
Also… does anyone else think it looks like half an electric toothbrush? 😂 or just me?
Say hello to MiniMed Flex, now FDA cleared!
With this new pump you can control your pump entirely from your phone!
More features to look forward to:
💙 The smallest insulin pump system powered by the SmartGuard technology you know and love
💙 Meal Detection technology* that automatically delivers correction doses every 5 minutes
💙 Option to use the Extended infusion set and reservoir, which last up to 7 days
Learn more about the system here: https://t.co/WDGJ3aIb41
MiniMed Flex™ system is for type 1 ages 7 and over and type 2 ages 18 and over. Prescription required. WARNING: Do not use SmartGuard™ feature for people who require less than 8 units or more than 250 units of insulin/day. For details, please visit https://t.co/2cmL1K5j2q
Refers to SmartGuard technology. Individual results may vary.
*Taking a bolus 15 – 20 min before a meal helps to keep blood sugar levels under control after eating.

It takes an average of 17 years for evidence to change practice. Shocking stat from #ATTD2026. To put it simply, some are implementing advice from #ATTD2009 in 2026. Huge disconnect which needs addressing. Thanks for raising @parthaskar
