Major good news story from NPID audit. In E&W, pregnancy specific HCL was associated with lower HbA1c, 13% lower preterm birth rate and ~ 20% lower rates of LGA in T1DM and pregnancy. The type of pump matters!

Thank you @PaulJSweeney. I don’t know how much your contact played a part, alongside my unfailing persistence. @GlasgowCC finally sent me SOME data. Still in breach as have missed 2026 data that I explicitly asked for and have not given explanation why. Still no SAR at 26 days.

@GlasgowCC in amongst a 24hr oncall & working today, you’ve left me no time to interrogate it as I would like. Was that really error, Thankfully, my training has equipped me to function on no sleep. I look forward to your response to my complaint. I have a date with excel

@theSNP @haughey_clare would be very interested in SNP opinion. I was a longterm SNP voter but in view of the mal administration and perceived incompetence on this case by the SNP-led service, my voting patterns will change. I don’t think the council leader has X. #FOI

Entering what feels like day 1,000,000 battling @GlasgowCC for personal info and breached FOI. I doubt I will ever trust public office after this whole saga is complete. The school appeal process in my experience so far lacks transparency. Wish me luck for Monday #glasgow @theSNP

Feel like a nuisance but still no info from @GlasgowCC - 28 days now after FOI and 3 working days to the appeal it’s needed for. Have emailed director of education, chief executive and leader this afternoon in hope someone can move this forward and help us?

Struggling to get info from @GlasgowCC needed for school appeal next week. FOI and SARs have been breached and am unable to talk to anyone in leadership about it. Call handlers have been as helpful as they can. Can any of my list MSPs help? @PaulJSweeney @AnasSarwar

Thank you and safe travels to all @dpsghome. Glasgow has loved having you. Your ceilidh dancing skills were spectacular and come second only to your research excellence. Thank you also to @rcpsglasgow and Maeve especially for her hosting!
