Something big is coming and it’s only 15 minutes long, but it could change everything. Thanks to DigiBete and leaders in the field of #T1D, we’re about to launch a brand new GP Training Module on the early warning signs and symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes. It’s punchy, impactful and designed to slot into the busiest schedules without draining time or resources. This promo video is just a teaser, but trust me, the full module will make you stop and think. The goal? To get this approved across the NHS and into every corner of primary care. My personal mission? I won’t rest until this becomes mandatory training. Because recognising Type 1 Diabetes early isn’t optional, it’s lifesaving. The countdown has started. @parthaskar @DigiBeteUK @DSNforumUK #LylasLaw #TestDontGuess #ProtectOurChildren #NHS #Diabetes #fyp

I’m honoured to announce that I’ve been invited to attend and speak to people about Lyla’s Law at the Diabetes UK Professional Conference 2026 in Liverpool this April. This conference is attended by over 2,000 diabetes healthcare professionals and researchers from across the UK. To be invited as a non healthcare professional is unprecedented and I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity. I’ll be there to share Lyla’s story, raise awareness of the failures our children face around being diagnosed far too late, and continue pushing for the change that children across the UK desperately need at primary care level. Hopefully by being there can help move us all closer to a future where Type 1 diabetes is no longer initially dismissed as “just a bug”. This invitation is a reflection of the impact you are all helping me to make, and I know Lyla will be right there with me. #LylasLaw #TestDontGuess #ProtectOurChildren #diabetes #T1D #fyp

She is also an Ambassador and Parent Panellist for YoungMinds UK, advocating for children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing 💛 🎶 Outside of work… You’ll find Nina at rock gigs, travelling, practising yoga, or out running… She’s currently training for the Edinburgh Marathon 🏃‍♀️ — raising funds for Diabetes UK, a cause incredibly close to her heart. 💬 Nina says: “Life is busy, loud, meaningful and full of purpose — just the way I like it. I’m very excited to be joining the Lochlan’s Legacy team (family), being personally passionate about the cause and professional in my approach, which I hope can make a positive impact in supporting the growth of Lochlan’s Legacy.” 💙 💙 From us… This is a HUGE moment for Lochlan’s Legacy.

I can’t really explain it, but after the COVID pandemic, time kind of collapsed. Days vanish and weeks blur by. Everything feels faster and slower at the same time. It feels like we went from 2020 to 2026 in a single year.

Notice how we can convert empty warehouses into concentration camps, but we can’t turn it into housing for the homeless.

When you say “only the vulnerable” are at risk… you’re saying that vulnerable people are expendable. When you say “only those with pre existing conditions will die”… you’re saying our lives don’t matter You can become one of the “vulnerable” at any time We aren’t expendable.
