Five rivals are lining up to chase Omnipod off the top spot. Yesterday, Tandem announced Mobi rollout to 12 new countries, including the UK #EASD2026 Together with Beta Bionics Mint, MiniMed Fit, Kaleido and Medtrum Nano, they're on Omnipod's toes. 📹more:youtu.be/WlVdd3awy0g

Trying to get refund as, due to incident, all trains cancelled yesterday. Spoke to @EastMidRailway who transferred me to @LNRailway as bought tkt from them. Said agreement in place & they’d refund but apparently agents at LNW not aware of this. Will try again tomorrow! #hohum

Hi @parthaskar looking on FB quite a few pl are having real issues now @TandemDiabetes are supplying consumables direct. Who would be the best person at NHSE to discuss this with & give them a nudge. The change over does not appear to be going smoothly as promised. Many thanks

Hi @parthaskar is it poss to publish what the service agreement for pump warranties in England is? It’d really help when complaining about long delivery times & replaced pump to arrive. Air Liquide are now taking 10days or more to deliver supplies & seen msgs re pumps as well. Ty

A lovely day spent with an old friend visiting the Marie Antoinette exhibition at @V_and_A & then on to @Tate Modern & spotting Tracey Eimin’s Baby Things hiding in plain sight.

Finally got round to watching #Sinners 🎥 and had the whole screen to myself!! No disturbances or chatter (blissful!) but a little spooky with the surround sound making it feel like there was someone behind me!! 😬

#PolicyBrief – #Type1diabetes isn’t just a childhood condition. Over 9M people live with T1D worldwide, over half diagnosed as adults. Data gaps drive misdiagnosis, which contributes to 168K yearly deaths, including 35K undiagnosed young people. 🔗 Download our policy brief with ISPAD: idf.org/what-we-do/advocacy/…

Received from clinic yesterday saying have to get hba1c done in next 4wks as requirement to keep my pump funding. Seems weird as attended all appts & tests previously. Also thought NICE covered requirement to fund rather than ICB choice? Anyone else have similar? @parthaskar ?
Copy of email asking for hba1c blood test in next 4 wks as required for me to keep pump funding. Test for “audit & funding administration purposes” to ensure ICB can continue to support & fund insulin pump therapy.

When you first find out that you have diabetes, it is perfectly normal to feel a range of emotions including shock, anger and denial. This leaflet can help you to understand those emotions and how to take care of yourself. 🔗 Download it here: tinyurl.com/4867f6vy

Great video on the emotional cost we choose to pay for living with diabetes from @nerdabetic. Definitely worth a 👀!!

New video 🎥 The hidden cost of diabetes tech — your attention. After 14 years with type 1 diabetes, I’ve learned to budget my tech. I call it diabetes cognitive budgeting 🔋 Which tech is worth your mental budget? Watch here👇 youtu.be/1XaH5u6Gx_E

Great feature on why testing for type 1 diabetes, especially in young children, is so important. A simple finger prick or urine dip could have saved a life. 😢 #LylasLaw
