Today marks 10 years of working at Breakthrough T1D UK – and what a journey it’s been! 🎉 A moment to reflect.
When I started here, I knew I wanted to make a difference: but I didn’t imagine just how much purpose, passion and community I’d find along the way. And that’s thanks to all of you. 1/5

The DIY journeys continues – after enjoying #Loop for a long while, I took the plunge (with support from the fab DIY community) to #Trio’s new public beta. So far I’m loving it – it’s intuitive, familiar and very customisable. I’m yet to enable dynamic features (as it needs 7 days of data) 💙 #T1D
