💉 T1D d/x 2005 💼 Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) Head of Community Engagement. Views my own.

It’s the small things that make life with #T1D that bit easier. What might seem simple to others can have a huge impact - like the new CarPlay update that lets Live Activities/widgets from my (DIY) Loop show up while driving. Having glucose levels visible makes the road safer and so much more … 1/2

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

A fab few days in #Glasgow for #DUKPC25. Inspiring to see so many passionate healthcare professionals and researchers pushing for better holistic #T1D care & support, seeing so many familiar faces, but most importantly: those with lived exp of #diabetes who keep it rooted in what it’s all about 1/2
