Thank you Twitter. You brought my work to the world & the world’s work to me. We learned, we laughed, we shared, we had empathy.
But X is not Twitter.
So I am taking a (permanent?) break from X.
If you would like to connect or follow me - please find me on LinkedIn.

Headlines like this perpetuate diabetes stigma - did u know less than 10% still had remission 5 years later?!
Better headline - “type 2 diabetes remission possible but not sustainable for 9 in 10 who tried it” #SupportNotStigma @DUK_research @thetimes

“Grief never ends … But it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love."
