Type 1 diabetes education. Insulin pumps, access to health care. Tweets by @kate_gajewska Diabetes Type 1 Diabetes

Low uptake of #insulin pumps in #PWD #T1D!🇮🇪
34.7% in children/adolscents with #diabetes and only 6.8% in adults. Is it low? Yes, compared to countries where reimbursement is offered.

Do I think that 100% should be on pumps? No. But ⬆️>7%!

🙏all involved

@Tims_Pants Interesting... And how long did you wait for breakfast after your woke up? I find my BGS a lot higher if I wait too long with Breakie (glucagon release as you are starving after long time without food - night - but woke up and in need of energy)?

In much of Ghana & Uganda, as well across most of Africa, any talk of 'pumps, closed loops or cgm' is an imaginative luxury; 'basal' & 'bolus' insulin in most cases is self-funded. Change can happen, must happen & comes from within. In @DYC_Ghana & @SoniaNabetaFDN we can see it

[Diathlete | League of Diabetes @Diathlete]

both organisations @SoniaNabetaFDN @DYC_Ghana further support wherever possible access to essential diabetes supplies, which so wrongfully in this world are not easily accessible and often come at high cost for patients & families to survive. https://t.co/hzEyTtxad7

[Diathlete | League of Diabetes @Diathlete]

Both organisations strive to host diabetes education meets & camps to ensure young #pwd receive key info to live with this condition; both develop patient-advocate leaders who relate, look out for & connect with locals with diabetes across home areas @SoniaNabetaFDN @DYC_Ghana

A team of international type 1 'diadvocates' in LOD are heading out to the rainforest for a trek challenge in #T1Dglobal19 & documenting about #t1d & hypoglycaemia impact (shared on #wdd2019), most importantly rasing funds for @SoniaNabetaFDN & @DYC_Ghana https://t.co/NKwqufmVXV

62yrs ago today, I was diagnosed T1D (age 2). Have had a wonderful life & continue to do so. T1 never stopped me doing anything! Hope this gives a loads of hope to younger T1 folk! V BIG thanks owed to amazing NHS too! Do join me in a 🍾 toast this evening! @JDRFUK @DiabetesUK

[Kate Gajewska @kate_gajewska]

After a long battle, I've finally got my #lifeinsurance.

I am only DISGUSTED that MY LIFE seem to be much less valuable than any other person' without #T1D (moneywise: my life cover is worth 3x ⬇️than my partner's & is ⬆️ expensive). 😩😒🤔😠

#equity #equality #diabetes #pwd

[EDUdiabetesT1 @t1_ed]

I was in such a hurry - I was already late for a train. And #t1d wasn't helpful at all. My infusion set came off the skin just before I left. And I'll be back home at 1am today... Luckily, I found another set in my backpack👌Remember Always have a spare set with ya!

Team FRIO! 🙌 Great to catch up with our ambassador @Diathlete and T1Ds from around the world at the #T1DGlobal event this weekend 😁 Were you there? Let us know! #T1D #Diabetes #TeamDiAthlete

[Kate Gajewska @kate_gajewska]

What a day. What a gang of so interesting and lovely people. Some conclusions from #T1Dglobal:

1) diabetes care is so diverse, #pwd are so similar
2) being a panelist is ⬆️challenging>presenting
3) @Diathlete is a real hero
4) football is coming home🇫🇴

On run around 3 airports all day! This lowers your blood glucose levels! Pakistani’s & Costa Ricans arrived, on my way to get the Ecuadorian.
