Gals who live in #NorthernIreland, have you seen this Department of Health NI #survey about #WomensHealth? If you’re frustrated by service deficits or you think the service provision could be better please take a few minutes to complete it www.health-ni.gov.uk/news/women-e...

Do any of my followers themselves, or if not know someone, who could help design a study to look at impact of menstrual cycle hormone levels on amino acid levels? And adult metabolic clinic who may be interested to collaborate/recruit participants? Please DM me. @jimd-editors.bsky.social

🎧 On our website you can listen back to every #DiabetesChat guest speaker chat. You can also use the hashtags to find relevant chats on similar topics. Is there any topic you want us to talk more about in 2025? www.diabeteschat.net/guest-speake...

Issues affecting #midwifery & #maternityservices in Northern Ireland highlight key aspects of the gender trifecta seen across #Europe. #Deprivation & #disparity aren’t modifiable factors. Hopefully Mary Renfrew’s report will help #midwives to provide services #women, #families & #communities deserve

Today is November 20...birthday of James Collip One of the unsung heroes in discovery of #Insulin-he helped to purify insulin for use in humans Also credited with one of the very first descriptions of hypoglycaemia & its treatment with glucose solution Amazing!!! #Diabetes #gbdoc 💙

This made me a little sad but a very real reflection of life with T1D that all of us, I am sure, can relate to. youtu.be/nJ09-n6QveI?...

Another very pertinent video. This time from Diabetes UK. If you knew .... how tough it can be making Type 1 diabetes look this easy. #worlddiabetesmonth #type1diabetes #diabetes youtu.be/XPN8nsCzG5A?...

Did you know a complication of #Diabetes is diabetic retinopathy. Left untreated this can lead to sight loss. Diabetes is a condition with numbers: glucose, insulin, carbohydrate. But what if you can't see the numbers? #SeeTheNeed #LeftBehind

Very excited that #ATTDAsia24 kicks off today. Our #dedoc° voices are meeting already, coming together to share their advocacy efforts. It’s going to be a busy three days!

#Healthcare should be proactive rather than reactive

Was thinking back to my own diagnosis for T1 over 35 years ago , the first few years I had no way to test blood sugar, just pee on a stick , I did experience lots of hypos , but never questioned that , I just thought that's what diabetes is and this happens no matter what I do , pretty weird 😬😬

Thank you to the lovely people at EDEN Diabetes in Leicester and James Ridgeway for inviting me to collaborate with them on this #menopause and #diabetes resource for #HCPs. I hope it enables conversations about #reproductivehealth 💙

Look who else has joined this lovely house 🦋

On this WORLD DIABETES DAY, I want to let everyone know that insulin should be free.
