There are people today in the #NHS who will have their children-sadly- diagnosed with #T1Diabetes
Thankfully- they will never go through the pain of having to finger-prick their little ones regularly
Soon-the same will apply to regular injections
And that?
Is indeed lovely♥️

Extracts from an email to @Insulet_UK #Omnipod5 users describing an issue with the bolus calculator not recognising the . if a bolus of less than 1u is entered without a preceding 0. e.g .5u would result in a 5u bolus not a 1/2u bolus. Needs to be 0.5u. 😳

Good to see a person living with type 1 diabetes represented within senior cabinet again! Congratulations Victoria Atkins MP for your appointment as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. I’m sure Theresa May left some hypo treats around so look around N10 when you around
