With new CGMs arriving โ and many not sharing data โ we risk shaking what makes CGM powerful: accuracy & trust.
70% TIR must mean the same across devices.
We need global standards so the CGM data that predicts health today remains true tomorrow.

Iโve just found out been selected to be a nominee for a Quality In Care โThe Peopleโs Awardโ.
I canโt believe it. All Iโm doing is fighting for our daughter and for the Type 1 Diabetes Community, Diagnosed or Undiagnosed. But Iโm honoured to be considered. If Lylaโs Law gains more exposure, Iโm all for it.

Loving my new pump but not loving consumables out of stock long term! That's acceptable for a pair of trainers, not what you need to make your insulin pump work ๐ what are @DiabetesScot @DiabetesUK and @ypsomed doing about the supply and demand issues?

Has anyone else seen that article about the girl being kicked off a plane for being hypo? Surely can't be true?

๐ฏ๏ธ Lyla was 2 years old.
She died from undiagnosed #T1D less than 16 hours after being seen by a GP.
Her parents are calling for Lylaโs Law: routine testing for T1D in children at point of care.

AMAZING NEWS ๐๏ธ ๐ฅณ - weโve managed to get the UK ๐ฌ๐ง Government to agree to a debate on Diabetes in Sport on September the 3rd - Which I believe is the first time ever the government has spoken on this subject.
But we need your support so please watch & raise awareness ๐

T1 Barbie, love the representaion but why are we still pushing anorexic dolls on kids? Before you come for me I'm not saying all thin people are anorexic but Barbie has never sat right with me, and girls with t1 are especially at risk of eating disorders...

Promoted to Sergeant and selected to meet the King. Not bad for a kid who was told she could never join the army. ๐
