Look forward to the day ALL with newly diagnosed #T2D can use this tech, a fantastic tool for understanding/empowering the behavioural change that can prompt remission before itโs too late.. not to mention the obvious other benefits later on ๐๐

7 years ago on 1 March, an international group of specialists convened by @DUK_research discussed metal wellbeing & rated research into disordered eating as a priority. So very, very sad to read thisโฆ ๐
Feb 27
Vital NHS pilot schemes to treat people living with type 1 diabetes and disordered eating (T1DE) are set to close due to lack of funding.
Due to the complex relationship between insulin restriction, weight and eating disorder behaviour, T1DE is extremely difficult to treat. It requires a team with expertise in both eating disorders and type 1 diabetes.
NHS England have commissioned a series of pilots to address this care gap since 2019, and early evaluations of the pilots showed improved patient health outcomes and halved the cost of inpatient admissions.
We firmly believe these pilot schemes must remain open. We will continue advocating on behalf of the community to ensure that the voices and lived experiences of people affected are heard clearly by the decision-makers who shape these policies.

This week is #GriefAwarenessWeek, and this year's theme is 'Growing with Grief'.
Although bereavement can often feel like an ending, music therapy can help with growing into a new version of yourself and developing a new sense of identity.

ALT Text on yellow background discussing how trauma and grief can make experiences hard to talk about, noting that music allows what is otherwise inexpressible and helps process emotions.
ALT Bright yellow background with bold black text discussing the benefits of music therapy in developing new sense of identity through bonding and collaboration.
ALT Inspirational quote on a yellow background that reads: "Music can help us feel connected with someone who has passed. Playing songs that bring back happy memories or honouring the music can bring us comfort."

Having spent much time discussing these issues with T1 Medalists, Iโm hugely in favour of on-going, lifelong T1 education. Research moves at pace & change is harder as we age - support to adapt decades old regimes & planning EoL care are challenging but essential
