Thank you so much WiJ for making me a Woman of the Year! After a year in which the most powerful man in the world has joked about shooting journalists & the richest man in the world has railed against “legacy media lies” it’s great to show well-funded public service journalism makes a difference.

I have made a post about how to compare hybrid closed loop insulin pump systems! It can be hard to make an informed decision whilst comparing the different systems, and DSN Forum UK have made a handy chart to do this. www.pumptasticscot.co.uk/post/choosin... #gbdoc #type1diabetes #t1d

This needs amplifying.

Prof Alexis Jay, chair of public inquiry into child sexual abuse, says further national inquiry into grooming gangs isn’t needed & would delay action. “The time has passed for more inquiries, we’ve had enough… We’ve set out action required & people should just get on with it, nationally & locally”
