After 2 wks in hospital I’m finally sitting up! 😊
I have a knackered spine & pelvic fractures & can’t bear weight for another 10 days…liaison between hospitals has been painfully slow, finally feeling hopeful that I’ll be rambling again next year! 🥾🙏

Beyond the library of textbooks runs another shelf of medicine — one made up of novels, essays, and memoirs that explore the field not through knowledge, but through lived experience. These are books about care when cure is no longer possible, about error and accountability, about bodies that fail and minds that endure, about limits and the many ways people push against them.
For many physicians, these works prove more formative than entire courses. We've gathered 10 titles every doctor should read at least once - tap the link full list: mdsc.pe/3Uy39Mr

DVLA guidance about the use of continuous glucose monitoring whilst driving has been updated. This change affects people who drive for a living: bus, coach and lorry drivers with diabetes are now able to monitor their glucose.

Recently saw ref to a study describing new ways of detecting v low endogenous insulin in those living successfully for >50yrs with T1 but can’t now find it - can anyone help? #T1D #research
People living with #T1D and some preserved endogenous insulin production are at extremely low ketoacidosis risk. This inspires advanced therapies that restore at least some insulin production.

ALT This image is an infographic titled "Detectable C-Peptide and Diabetic Ketoacidosis Risk in Type 1 Diabetes." It contains sections on the aim, results, study population, and implications of a study. The aim is to assess if detectable C-peptide levels in Type 1 diabetes correlate with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) risk. The study involved 1,441 participants, resulting in 180 DKA events. Results indicate a lower risk of recurrent DKA with stimulated C-peptide ≥0.2 nmol/L. Implications suggest maintaining detectable C-peptide could lower DKA risk. The source is from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT).

Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire are looking for young adults aged 18-25 years with type 1 diabetes to participate in their study exploring experiences of the transition from parental support to independent diabetes self-management.
Nice to see we’re moving from being calculators to co-pilots but it’s exhausting 24/7… I’m hoping to be a passenger b4 my time’s up with T1D 💙😉 diatribe.org/diabetes-techno…

7 years ago on 1 March, an international group of specialists convened by @DUK_research discussed metal wellbeing & rated research into disordered eating as a priority. So very, very sad to read this… 😔
Vital NHS pilot schemes to treat people living with type 1 diabetes and disordered eating (T1DE) are set to close due to lack of funding.
Due to the complex relationship between insulin restriction, weight and eating disorder behaviour, T1DE is extremely difficult to treat. It requires a team with expertise in both eating disorders and type 1 diabetes.
NHS England have commissioned a series of pilots to address this care gap since 2019, and early evaluations of the pilots showed improved patient health outcomes and halved the cost of inpatient admissions.
We firmly believe these pilot schemes must remain open. We will continue advocating on behalf of the community to ensure that the voices and lived experiences of people affected are heard clearly by the decision-makers who shape these policies.
