Another reminder today to hold your T1 kid a bit closer. Another reminder that DKA happens so quickly.

So that's it, no longer waiting for commercial tech, and going forward with a commercial looping solution, fully funded. It's kind of a sad day, but also a great one. It's been a fun 9 years of #WeAreNotWaiting and all that went with it. #GBDoc

The Vietnam playlist is complete, what a trip that was. So many experiences, highlights of riding the Hai Van Pass, the caves of Phong Nha, the sublime floating homestay near Halong Bay. And the small matter of a 'small' tattoo. https://t.co/CB7zHa96PS #Vietnam #Flashpacking

(continued) It's great that this programme exists, and I really hope if I wait I can find a suitable venue/time, so I phoned them up to see if they ever hold courses within a large area near me, they don't, but they've registered my interest and will analyse other responses.

In diabetes awareness week I've tried to sign up to an in-person NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme course, but most are during a morning/afternoon, the others aren't doable. Nowhere is close either. Online version exists but IRL would be better for me. #DiabetesAwarenessWeek

I guess with an a1c of 43 I can officially join #GBDOC, or do I just have to get on the waiting list? Time to make some changes and see if I can get that a1c down a bit. The irony that I've helped quite a few PWDs get their a1c lower than that is kinda funny isn't it?

Looks like I'll need to switch from 'self funding' G5, to self funding G6, as Amy switches to @CamAPS_FX . Luckily G5 has actually been free to us for the last few years as people donated sensors, unluckily I don't have a budget for G6. Hit me with your cost saving tips #GBDoc

What a fun memory: getting my Dad to dress back up in his National Service uniform from 1955 and his tour in Cyprus. He only just fits in it, and he's now a shade under 10st at 5'10, how thin were people back then?!

The appt is 8 months after the warranty runs out, for someone who's needlephobic and also trying to become a Doctor. Are all adult clinics like this?

World Diabetes Day: letter arrived recently abt pump which runs out in 2weeks: (paraphrasing) "your appt to discuss new pump is July 2023, we'll call and if you don't answer you may be struck off" And this from one of the big well respected award winning hospitals. Disgusting

I always thought of @markking as royalty (especially after last night's gig) but I never knew about this. Charles is gonna be pissed.

The relief this morning when I saw the check-in lady print the boarding passes was immense. @Qantas you need to give Amani on your international support a pay rise, she's a star. Plus you need to investigate your employee's actions of cancelling perfectly good tickets.

The Perhentian Islands and this bay (Coral) are stunning, we've had such a wonderful time, my highlight being me snorkelling a few feet from a Loggerhead Turtle, for 100m almost alone. Leaving here tomorrow, sad times. #perhentianislands
