Your passion and commitment for our #t1d community is inspiring, especially considering all that you are going through @parthaskar
The letter ⬇️ provides clarity to all that it will understandably take time to roll out.
Thank you for all that you have done🙏
#diabeteschat – at East Midlands, England
In time of grief?
The #T1D community is there
In time of joy - my birthday?
The same
So…on this day?

Whenever doctors go on strike I’m reminded of this heartbreakingly insightful book of what it’s like to be a #juniordoctor
The dehumanisation and trauma of medical training is very real. The absolute very least they deserve is decent pay.

You never know what someone’s going through, hardship, poor health & wealth are destroying so many people
That’s why even the smallest kind gesture can make others feel less alone. It won’t solve their problems but at least you’re not adding to them
Don’t be the tipping point

It’s #November
And as ever?
A message for those with #T1Diabetes and of course all the amazing carers
#ClosedLoops?
We are in the end game
Take a deep breath.
Clinicians…Ready? 😊

601 CT head scans. 5 bleeds, 4 of which predicted by high risk status. So 596 people no benefit from scan and many will have had unseen harm- a trip to ED, fear or pain in scanner, a hospital stay, ‘deconditioning’ aka ‘got worse in hospital’ - we need to change this!

A tip for clinicians how to look at #TimeInRange in #T1Diabetes
And use language which doesn't judge others- especially when you don't live their lives
It's not easy to live with this unremitting condition- so don't be a privileged so-and-so
Much love
PSK

In this podcast episode, my guest @DavidPerlmutter shares some of the consequences of excess sugar consumption.
We talk about why he's so keen for his patients to reduce the amount of fructose in their diets and what impact it has on our bodies.

It's set to be a scorcher this weekend for many parts of the UK ☀️
If you have #diabetes, it can be harder to manage your blood glucose (sugar) levels in the hot weather.
Head to our website for our top tips for managing your diabetes in the heat: orlo.uk/HwA7I
Back on Twitter after a very long hiatus. Hope I can harness the #positive impact without getting drained by the negative
