Hi @parthaskar looking on FB quite a few pl are having real issues now @TandemDiabetes are supplying consumables direct. Who would be the best person at NHSE to discuss this with & give them a nudge. The change over does not appear to be going smoothly as promised. Many thanks

Any women with T1 fancy helping with this research?
Apr 27
This is our TIMES study. We need more women with T1D to sign up:
🎁 Garmin watch £50/cycle
📊 You continue to use your HCL and donate data for 6 cycles, fully remote
If you ever wished your pump understood your cycle, this research is how we get there. Link in 🧵

Hi @parthaskar is it poss to publish what the service agreement for pump warranties in England is?
It’d really help when complaining about long delivery times & replaced pump to arrive.
Air Liquide are now taking 10days or more to deliver supplies & seen msgs re pumps as well. Ty

❗️This sounds really interesting…as well as much needed…. research if anyone’s interested & eligible.
Pls share. Thx
@Moodwife?
I’m sadly too old but I know the rollercoaster 🎢 of managing T1D around my cycle 🫠 Are you 18-40, T1D, on HCL? This study needs 350 women to help us finally understand the impact on insulin needs. Garmin watch £50/cycle. Please join & share 💙 dcberne.com/en/times-study/ #GBDoc

Finally got round to watching #Sinners 🎥 and had the whole screen to myself!! No disturbances or chatter (blissful!) but a little spooky with the surround sound making it feel like there was someone behind me!! 😬

#PolicyBrief – #Type1diabetes isn’t just a childhood condition. Over 9M people live with T1D worldwide, over half diagnosed as adults. Data gaps drive misdiagnosis, which contributes to 168K yearly deaths, including 35K undiagnosed young people.

Received from clinic yesterday saying have to get hba1c done in next 4wks as requirement to keep my pump funding.
Seems weird as attended all appts & tests previously.
Also thought NICE covered requirement to fund rather than ICB choice? Anyone else have similar?
@parthaskar ?
ALT Copy of email asking for hba1c blood test in next 4 wks as required for me to keep pump funding. Test for “audit & funding administration purposes” to ensure ICB can continue to support & fund insulin pump therapy.

When you first find out that you have diabetes, it is perfectly normal to feel a range of emotions including shock, anger and denial.
This leaflet can help you to understand those emotions and how to take care of yourself.

Great video on the emotional cost we choose to pay for living with diabetes from @nerdabetic.
Definitely worth a 👀!!

The hidden cost of diabetes tech — your attention.
After 14 years with type 1 diabetes, I’ve learned to budget my tech.
I call it diabetes cognitive budgeting 🔋
Which tech is worth your mental budget?

Great feature on why testing for type 1 diabetes, especially in young children, is so important.
A simple finger prick or urine dip could have saved a life. 😢 #LylasLaw
