Hi all - just to say, whilst we'll be continuing #brickabetes into 2017, but not on a daily basis (sorry). We'll still be here to chat tho!

This makes me so happy I’m doing a little dance 💃. I’m on the train though so it’s happening in my head 😊

Yep I'm familiar with this 😖 Another one I get is sitting in chairs with sidearms and catching your pump clipped on your waist

So painful!
There's nothing quite like being stopped in your tracks as your pump tubing gets caught on a door handle #ow #brickabetes #diabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc

Not being able to get out of bed for 2 days, needing frequent afternoon naps and a brain that’s buried in constant fog... The effect of sleep deprivation/interrupted sleep thanks to #Type1diabetes shouldn’t be underestimated 😴 #brickabetes
Managing #diabetes isn't always just about the day-to-day insulin, carb counting and glucose tests - there's basic things like 'sleep' as well... #lego #diabetes #brickabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc

Have you ever taken (or wanted to take) a break from your pump? #lego #diabetes #brickabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc

Just never adjust your clock wherever you are and it's simple. Not sure why a lot of attractions are closed though.

@diabetesqld How do folk with diabetes cope with long distance flights in Oz?
Mystery food, no carb values, constant offer of snacks. Enjoy your flight! #lego #diabetes #brickabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc #summer #longhaul #holiday

Having to stop every 2 hours and test (and maybe eat sweets and wait) can spoil your holiday... #lego #brickabetes #diabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc #holiday
