Living with medical technology on my terms. T1D in the wild. Coeliac too, but not so much tech there.

It turns out that insulin doesn’t magically freeze if you put it in your checked plane luggage! #ADC2024 #betterposter #myfirstposter

Very concerning when a top-level domain registry disables your domain a month after accepting renewal payment, and then does not respond to any support tickets or accept phone calls. Anyone else having trouble with @COCCA_Council ? (not bionicwookiee, another domain).

I missed the screenshot, but there was a very unfortunate association of body-type image with T2D in Jorgen Rungby's talk about Neuroprotective mechanisms. I almost spat my drink over my screen. #dedoc #EASD2023.

A presentation comparing results from "1st-generation and 2nd-generation commercial AID systems". While I wasn't surprised to see 670G in the 1st-gen bracket, it was interesting to see CIQ as the "2nd-gen" example. I wonder how many "generations" are labelled! #EASD2023 #Dedoc.

Off-hand comment by Tim Heise that "of course cardiovascular outcomes are more of an issue for Type 2 [than Type 1]". This was in the Q&A after a talk about an experimental basal insulin. REALLY? I hope no-one's assuming CV outcomes are NOT important for T1! #dedoc #EASD2023.

Good to see the updated TIR recommendations for clinical trials presented. I'll have to update my CGM reports to include some of the new metrics. #ADA2023 #dedoc @dedocORG.

Good to see data being published about fasting with T1D during Ramadan (using a large dataset gathered in KSA). Conclusion of the paper is that automated insulin delivery systems are the safest and most effective solution. #ADA2023 #dedocvoices #dedoc.

Sixth (last) finalist in the ADA Innovation Challenge: Minutia's stem-cell-derived insulin-generating cells (small device in the forearm). The cells provide real-time data on their viability/etc and apparently don't need immunotherapy. #ADA2023 #dedocvoices #dedoc.

7-day reservoir (single-use enforced by hardware) and the pen has a 3-year design life.

Has a reservoir/cartridge which is filled on-site from vials/etc, so doesn't depend on particular containers. #ADA2023 #dedoc.

Fifth finalist in the ADA Innovation Challenge: the Go-Pen. An affordable insulin pen for the developing world. Simple technology, with the potential for massive health impact by replacing syringes. #ADA2023 #dedocvoices #dedoc.
