Substantial racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities were observed.

Today? Has felt like a big day.
Cambridge agreeing to @NICEComms guidelines for #T1Diabetes - a constant source of battle since 2018
It's been a personal Final Frontier.
And today? We got there.
And I am delighted +++
To everyone with #T1D and carers? We battle-together.
@parthaskar@NICEComms This is amazing. I’m currently waiting to hear back from them about libre funding. I’ve been waiting for their funding monthly meeting to occur.
#T1Diabetes & "good"control (as dictated by HCP) involves:
8-10 glucose measurements
Multiple insulin doses & adjustments
Pre-attention to snacks, exercise
Accurate carb counting
Luck / skill / motivation
Every day
For the rest of their life
Enable where YOU can
Thank you
“It’s tricky to prescribe a CGM”
How’s this?
Step 1: you take a prescription pad
Step 2: you write the words down
Step 3: you send it to the person with #T1D
I work in the #NHS - full time clinician.
Policy role is an extra
Don’t tell me it can’t be done
Easy as 1-2-3
Good to see this…and I think we are nearly there with the 4-6 week period of sign off
@CambsPboroICS - it’s time to join the rest of the country
The N in NHS stands for “National”
Let’s finish the journey
@DiabetesUK @JDRFUK @NHSDiabetesProg@NICEComms#Tech#T1D
The #NHS has really been caught on the hop by this bank holiday
Caught between the dilemma of “showing respect” and “maintaining service in background of backlogs”
Really caught.
Access to #Flash
% uptake average nationally? About 70%
There’s a big difference between Coventry & Cambridge
Same NHS. Same rules. Yup?
I love league tables
What about you? 😊
Data is what it is- don’t like your position on the table?
Work to change it
Love

Great to see clear guidance and @NICEComms guidance implemented straight up- hope other areas can follow suit @DTN_UK@DSNforumUK@ABCDiab . https://t.co/IeNwzNcQkJ
