๐๏ธ #OnThisDay in 2018, the @Dexcom G6 received its CE Mark โ
The one that finally ditched fingerstick calibrations. 10-day wear, that one-press applicatorโฆ felt like the future at the time.
Bittersweet though โ G6 production ends 1 July 2026. End of an era ๐ฅฒ

Police Removes Diabetes Experts from World's Largest Diabetes Confernce for handing out a research paper.
The paper criticised the US administration's cuts to diabetes research. Several lost their ability to present their own work at the event.

๐จ This oneโs a first. Dexcom has revealed that two lots of scrapped G7 sensors were stolen before they could be destroyed and sold on the market. If you have lot 1725204004 or 1725069002, stop using them. Verify your sensor is not impacted here: dexcom.com/theft-check

Omnipod voluntary recall โ this affects Omnipod 5, DASH, and Eros pods. A manufacturing defect can cause a small cannula tear leading to insulin under-delivery.
~7 million pods affected across the US and international markets.

England leading the diabetes space globally ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
Amidst a sea of poor data around maternity care?
Did you know- that post national implementation of use of #CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitors) in women with #T1Diabetes going through pregnancy-started 2021?
% of pregnancies with serious adverse events have dropped - as well as % of congenital anomalies
Population wide change
Using technology which aids self management
Implementation of an RCT into lives- without issues of deprivation or ethnicity.

Today?
As a community in the world of #T1Diabetes - we take a moment to pause for @triggersbroom17 (John and Emma Story)
It should have been a day of celebration - the 3rd birthday of Lyla
It isn't- and a collective hug from us all.
And a promise to keep working and ensuring we make things better- and prevent such a heart breaking tragedy
And urging @NHSEngland to take this with the seriousness it deserves -and giving it the utmost priority- and leadership attention it deserves.
Happy heavenly birthday Lyla x ๐ข

Minimed (formerly Medtronic Diabetes) just got FDA clearance for a brand-new insulin pump. Major redesign vs 780Gโand having seen it in person, itโs impressively small.
Alsoโฆ does anyone else think it looks like half an electric toothbrush? ๐ or just me?
Say hello to MiniMed Flex, now FDA cleared!
With this new pump you can control your pump entirely from your phone!
More features to look forward to:
๐ The smallest insulin pump system powered by the SmartGuard technology you know and love
๐ Meal Detection technology* that automatically delivers correction doses every 5 minutes
๐ Option to use the Extended infusion set and reservoir, which last up to 7 days
Learn more about the system here: bit.ly/4sivpPj
MiniMed Flexโข system is for type 1 ages 7 and over and type 2 ages 18 and over. Prescription required. WARNING: Do not use SmartGuardโข feature for people who require less than 8 units or more than 250 units of insulin/day. For details, please visit bit.ly/MiniMedRisks
Refers to SmartGuard technology. Individual results may vary.
*Taking a bolus 15 โ 20 min before a meal helps to keep blood sugar levels under control after eating.
Extended infusion set and reservoir - Rx Only. Subcut admin of insulin only. NOT for IV or blood products. Infection/irritation risk possible. Follow directions and replace as indicated. See bit.ly/infusionsetsafety

It takes an average of 17 years for evidence to change practice. Shocking stat from #ATTD2026. To put it simply, some are implementing advice from #ATTD2009 in 2026. Huge disconnect which needs addressing. Thanks for raising @parthaskar
A snap from recently concluded @ATTDconf
One of my favourite and oft used slides
I never get tired of saying it.
Access of science in #Diabetes should be for all- and we should ALL work to do that
The science is worth nothing if the person its intended for?
Doesn't get it.

Phenomenal session by @Tims_Pants on AI in diabetes care at #ATTD2026.
Some of my key takeaways:
โข Generic LLMs (ChatGPT, Grok, etc.) cannot safely provide insulin dosing recommendations.
โข When given weeks of CGM data, Al skips over large chunks and fabricates summaries.

The Core Problem: LLMs generate confident-sounding dosing advice rather than admitting they don't understand the data.
My take: We need to control AI outputs by building custom models built exclusively on private, high quality data not the internet! Expert agents.
