Please explain to me how I had a blood test at my GP surgery two hours ago and the results are already online?!

In all seriousness... HOW does this happen when the fibre is just in my arm?! What's happening in there to bend it and make it unusable all of a sudden? #gbdoc
ALT A bent fibre on a Freestyle Libre 2 sensor

In other news, I don't think I've had a sensor last the full 14 days in the last four months 🫠ðŸ«

I really really really wish my diabetes consultant appointments could be over the phone vs in person but they seem to hate it... I have all my physical tests beforehand with the nurse and I'm seeing a locum this time, so spending time and money to go to the clinic is annoying

Has anyone else had terrible luck with their Libre sensors recently? I've had four fail on me within the last week - is there a bad batch? #gbdoc

Do I know any Brighton drummers, or do YOU know any Brighton drummers, who are looking for a new band? If so, hit me up (not my band)!

AGAIN I have a new consultant for my next diabetes appointment! I wish I had some degree of continuity as a patient - I see someone different literally every single time and it's really tedious having to start from scratch over and over again

I also wish I could find ANY information on my consultants online - I'm not a people person at the best of times and I find it quite disconcerting having to sit down with a total stranger to discuss my medical history when I don't know a thing about them

Surely soon I'll cycle back to someone I've seen before? I must have seen every diabetes consultant in the city by now

It's no wonder people are pulling their own teeth out - £26.80 for an NHS dentist checkup (almost impossible to find for new patients) vs £105 to see a private dentist at my normal practice 😱

Brighton's contribution to #LoveIsland is surely the most chaotic? Luca, Olivia S9 AND Harriett (which is very funny because 99.9% of people here are just chillin 😎)

Sorry I know this is boring of me but I actually quite like everyone so far?! #LoveIsland

I have my diabetes consultant coming up in the next few months. I want to get the ball rolling on looping but I'm not even on a pump yet. I want to try it with a cordless pump (like Omnipod) because I'm clumsy so don't want tubes - will I need to switch to Dexcom? #gbdoc

Every year, my GP surgery asks me to come in for my diabetes review.
Every year, I tell them I'm seen by a hospital-run service and to please make a note of it.
Every year, they say OK, we've made a note, thanks.
Rinse and repeat, forever until the end of time.

I don't want them to think I'm skipping appointments but equally, I don't want the same appointment twice in the space of a few months! They're stressful enough as it is, without doubling up

You know the government's emergency messaging system? I feel like we should be able to opt into something like that but for Northern Lights alerts in our area... much nicer!

I would also accept a Finland win on account of the mad staging (also to make up for the robbery last year) #Eurovision
