Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives. It began with a heart attack 🧵

#Type1Diabetes is not a noun. It’s a verb. It’s not something you just have. It’s something you have to do. Every. Single. Day. And we do it!

Those of us living with T1D in the UK need to educate ourselves on the challenges faced by others globally. We might be protected by the NHS but that isn’t an excuse to not advocate for the wider community. We’d be in the same position without the NHS. #Insulin4all #doc
Some more facts about the cost of type 1 diabetes. Thank you to our Advocate Carly for this #insulin4all graphic!

I just found myself speculating on the origin of the very topical word "vaccination" - surely the word of the year for 2021. The answer is an intriguing lesson in medical history and etymology: it's derived from the Latin word for cow. Well worth a read. merriam-webster.com/words-at… – at Freckleton, England
