Great way to start the year with a manuscript I’ve spent a full 12 months trying to get published being accepted! 🎉

Yes 1 year this has been doing the rounds with journals. Plus the previous years of analysis, writing & co-author reviews. Publications don’t happen over night

It’s a 🎂 & 🍾 kinda day!

Another trip around the Sun that not everyone is lucky enough to make.

Will spend the day with family celebrating, laughing & having fun.

Did you know a complication of #Diabetes is diabetic retinopathy. Left untreated this can lead to sight loss.

Diabetes is a condition with numbers: glucose, insulin, carbohydrate. But what if you can't see the numbers?

Excellent guide to making accessible PowerPoint presentations here from the Welsh government, no less.

Covers arranging slides, image accessibility, colours and styles, slides for people with Dyslexia and alternative formats. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 👍

FARSight-DM recruited its first participants today!

We’re looking at a new pathway for the management of diabetic maculopathy & pre-proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the community instead of hospitals in Wales.
