"I think Brexit was a colossal mistake, we need a UK voice in Europe. We really miss you guys." - Stubb, President of Finland I fully agree. I truly hope that in my lifetime I will see this mistake corrected, and the return of our British friends to where they belong. 🇪🇺🇬🇧

60000 signatures so far! Amazing and thank you all. BUT, time is running out. We’ve only got until 20th December to get to 100000 to get this systemic issue debated in parliament. Please everyone. Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition, if not detected at a GP appointment, kills.

Having spent much time discussing these issues with T1 Medalists, I’m hugely in favour of on-going, lifelong T1 education. Research moves at pace & change is harder as we age - support to adapt decades old regimes & planning EoL care are challenging but essential

Thank you to all those involved with the implementation of HCL & CGM in England. Without my new device I know I’d have struggled this weekend as my daughter was diagnosed T1 like me. Her future will now be easier 💙 @parthaskar @MDT_Diabetes #T1D
