I ignored a couple of these symptoms and brushed them aside because we were in lockdown! 🙈 I thought I was too old to develop type 1 diabetes! I ended up in hospital in DKA, thank goodness my mum called an ambulance! Please if you have these symptoms, get them checked!! 🙏🏼
Here's what we want everyone to understand:
👉 Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is commonly misdiagnosed as something else
👉 Failure to treat T1D can lead to DKA
👉 There are preventable deaths from DKA every year
👉 Awareness saves lives

As we all enjoy this warm weather, please remember to respect the #environment when you visit parks, canals and rivers 🌳🛶🦋 Take your rubbish home with you if you can't dispose of it and keep a safe distance from others @theroyalparks#BeKindToYourParks#PlasticsChallenge
And we're off! Great start to the morning at our first Unlocking Impact workshop.
Delighted to see so many people interested in learning about how economic evaluation can help assess their charity's impact.
Such an interesting morning at the ONS forum on the sustainable development goals + the social impact of climate change 🌍 very thought provoking, reminded me why I loved studying geography but also how my current job still can make a difference regarding climate change! #SDGsONS
Spending time by water can help you feel healthier and happier too. This #WorldMentalHealthDay, visit your local canal or river to reconnect with nature and feel the benefits of being by the water #LifesBetterByWater.

The UK has broken its record and gone a whole week without using coal for power - over 1,000 total hours so far this year!
We’re phasing out coal entirely by 2025 and on a path to become the first major economy to legislate for #netzero emissions.
