If you are in the #T1Diabetes community in the UK?

This is worrying news from Scotland as mentioned by @iPAG_Scot

Care should be same across 4 nations- hopefully better sense will prevail and those with #T1Diabetes will not miss out on their relevant technology- which shows omes.

For the record- thanks to @DHSCgovuk it is ring-fenced till 2029 @zubirahmed @wesstreeting - as part of finishing the 5 year implementation plan of @NICEComms TA 943

To continue with the improvement of #T1D outcomes

Let's lend our voice of support

@BT1DUK @DiabetesUK

Funding is changing for Diabetes Tech in Scotland. It is a step backwards in our care.

41000 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. It is not type 2 diabetes it is an autoimmune condition! It is rising, it does not care who you are, it does not care if it’s hereditary or not, it does not care if you’re healthy or unhealthy, it does not care about your ethnicity and it does not care about your age. I beg everyone on Facebook with uk citizenship, sign this petition. It is for testing where symptoms warrant it. Do it for you, do it for your mate, do it for your kids, do it for your grandkids, but most of all, do it for our beautiful little girl and everyone that has been badly treated around diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes x #LylasLaw 💛💝🌻

A most fabulous day at #TAD2025

Seeds planted in 2016 by @parthaskar, this event has blossomed into a beautiful tree that keeps giving.

It’s been an incredible honour and joy to bring this back to @LivEveryPlay, on a street named Hope, in a city that sings #YNWA

#TAD2025 are hoping to gather £2,500 for Life For A Child...

It's nearly there.

A way for any of us to #PayItForward ourselves & show thanks to the TAD guys efforts helping us here in the UK which helps them reach some further away to us that don't have access to the basics.
A huge thank you to everyone who has helped us raise £1730 for @lifeforachild 🙌💙

I've written to a few of our public representatives today to make enquiries of our Health Service about when we can begin to see the rollout of this essential technology for NI and the urgent need for diabetes audit figures. @healthdpt Don't keep NI out of the loop
Looking forward to a day where we could even share a figure from #NI about uptake of hybrid closed loop for children and young people. No diabetes audit, no HCL commissioned yet, no CGMs other than Libre funded, no visible paediatric network. 😔 #T1D #DiabetesChat #ParentingT1D

Getting to hear @DrRoseStewart speak is a privilege for me today. I’m a huge admirer of anyone who is championing mental health for those with diabetes.

Lovely @cathybreen24 is talking to the not just as young #T1D crew about Eating Anywhere with Diabetes (she isn’t the food police and she knows that we’re living in a cost of living crisis but she’s giving sensible advice here, which we like)
