Made some great interventions at work yesterday, keeping a patient out of DKA, resolving some hypos, spotting 50units of Humalog that should have been a mix. Followed by a great workout today and my TIR is up 20%. More days like this please 👌🏻 – at Beverley, England

We unveiled our new #juniordoctors mess at Hull Royal Infirmary today, updated to provide comfortable modern surroundings for doctors in training to rest and relax. As well as seating, dining and kitchen areas, there are also 4 sleeping pods for those on-call/on shifts @PurvaDr

First big run with diabetes. Managed the full thing without a hitch (lets not talk about the three hypo’s after🤫) – at Yorkshire and The Humber, England
Brilliant talk from @KMedlinskiene on barriers to introducing new medicines to practice at #CPCongress
Lots to take away for me thinking on Tirzepatide in diabetes and more GLP’s for obesity
Was a real privilege to speak at this years #DUKPC on insulin biosimilars integrating into practice - even made the show reel 💁🏼♂️ – at East Midlands, England
🤩 We had an incredible 3 days at #DUKPC last week. It was amazing to hear the latest news in diabetes care and research from around the world, with so many important updates on new discoveries and advances.
Here’s a round-up of our researchers’ highlights! 💙

Rant warning ⚠️
So I am a pharmacist and I am regulated by a professional body which I have to pay for to protect the public so I am asking, why can't we regulate MPs in the same way?
They should pay a % to be regulated. My professional body has a code of conduct
1/6 – at South West, England
Such a great 3 days at my first @DiabetesUK #DUKPC23 - loved getting to catch up with friends, meet some awesome new people, hear about everyones great work and explore a bit of Liverpool - even managed a 24min 5km in the mix!
Excited for next year already
