Risotto from FutureMasterChef tonight. Beautifully cooked, & she finished it with creme fraiche. Midweek treat as T1Teenager is away, so no taxi duties!

Thank you @parthaskar & team - this really is life changing. We’re 3wks in, first time on activity mode on a race day. So far, so very, very good. Less worry for me, more independence for her. Plus we weren’t up at all last night! #ClosedLoops #GBDoc
A reminder that shortly? EVERY child with #T1Diabetes will have access to this EVERY single one Irrespective of ethnicity or deprivation Every one And that? Is joyous Is wonderful Is pleasing to my soul To parents & carers? It’s not a dream We got there 💙 #ClosedLoops

T1Teenager is in a couple of these photos - she did a @Tyne_Rowing Learn to Row course last year & raced in the British Champs this year. Fab junior squad, great coaches. #SpotTheDexcom #LearnToRow instagram.com/p/CvKmOiQNdYA/…

#T1D takes up a lot of time. I know we all do these many tasks all day long. This isn’t even a day of appointments or pump/sensor change or a #FerralT1D day. This is just #ParentingT1D to have a good day. TG for non intrusive shareable CGM. #DiabetesWeek
