Started yesterday in Delhi India and ended it in the English countryside. Bit discombobulated!

In a hotel room in Barcelona nursing some sort of gut thing and flipping through cable TV, which I don't do often. BBC, DW, France 24, Aljazeera = Wall to Wall Iran war coverage. NBC = boy howdy we had some big storms last night Makes sense

Does Bluesky have a diabetes community? Missing the old days of pre-Elon Twitter

Go Morocco! 🇲🇦 #AFCON

Global health is a field that on the one hand says it's evidence based but on the other that it won't fund diabetes because it isn't "sexy" - as if a health condition should physically attractive to get the resources it needs. #diabetes #globalhealth

We've been busy! Our VIA Diabetes 2025 Year in Review www.linkedin.com/pulse/2025-r... #diabetes #globalhealth

Who is doing #diabetes research that you're excited about right now? Lemme know so I can read up about them

Back in Toronto and enjoying being a morning person due to the jetlag

My wife @rosemaryrichings.bsky.social and I talk about #AliceWong in this brief Beyond the Bookshelf Video here. Rest in peace Alice youtu.be/DXK7odG4g78 #disability

Rest in peace Alice Wong

Oh no the super sincere trade talks that were 100% going to result in something real are off because we ran a TV ad, oh noooo

How bout them Jays

UNAIDS closing next year, instead of 2030. www.theguardian.com/global-devel... #HIV #globalhealth

F'ing gross www.theguardian.com/global-devel... #globalhealth

I'm about to go to a conference on diabetes in emergencies, conflict, disaster. Have diabetes and ever been in one? Anything you want to share? I've been in earthquake. left the flat in a hurry with all my insulin. Luckily the building stayed up but otherwise I'd been cooked. Let me know!

Shoutout Easyjet for putting in a special assistance line at Marrakesh RAK. If discount airlines can the full carriers have no excuse #disability

Sin taxes is a ridiculous term that public health and #globalhealth should have dumped years ago. Weird to see it keep popping up among VIP speeches

Looking forward to more takes on what insulins people who take insulin should take from people who don't take insulin. Cause that never gets old ##insulin4all

Do you have #diabetes? Are you working in or interested in #globalhealth? You're invited to our meeting on October 25 - here's a 1 minute video on what it's all about www.youtube.com/shorts/iu4Dn...

La 4ème Réunion de haut niveau sur les maladies non transmissibles est terminée, et je ne suis pas sûr que nous ayons besoin d’une 5ème. Par MOI! glucosetoujours.com/article/la-4...

Hey, so that UN meeting last week sucked for people living with diabetes and I wrote about it here in @glucosetoujours.bsky.social glucosetoujours.com/article/la-4... #insulin4all #NCDs #diabetes #UNGA

Robert F Kennedy Jr declares USA "objects to the Political Declaration" of high-level meeting of the General Assembly on the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases and the promotion of mental health and well-being. Also gets his mic cut when he runs over time #NCDs #UNGA

Not over the frustration that mention of type 1 diabetes + prior committments on diabetes have been removed from the #ActonNCDs political declaration #UNGA80 People with diabetes all over the promo material but we get removed from the Declaration to "streamline" it. #insulin4all

Just in case you haven't read the US CDC's About Us page for awhile it's uh probably not like you remember it cdc.gov/about/cdc/in...

Shoutout people with autism and parents of people with autism. Y'all are going to have such a bad day 🫂

People with diabetes aren't pinning for the good ole days of #globalhealth. There were never good olde days for diabetes. We are languishing under a banner of #NCDs, now is as good as it has ever been. It just needs to be better.

The final Political Declaration for the 4th High Level Meeting on #NCDs happening next week is out. And... When it comes to diabetes, a completely wasted opportunity. ❌ language on #insulin4all with T1D out ❌meaingful engagement langauge weak af ❌GLP-1s absent www.un.org/pga/wp-conte...

Full @who.int essential medicines list decision. Yes on rapid-acting insulin analogues. Yes on GLP-1s. iris.who.int/bitstream/ha...

New @who.int essential medicines list is out: and it's a YES on GLP1s like ozempic and. it's a YES on short acting insulin analogues. Article from Brazilian colleagues here (you can translate to English) www.forumdcnts.org/post/oms-eml... #insulin4all #obesity #diabetes

New in @jama.com - Global Inequities in Diabetes Technology and Insulin Access and Glycemic Outcomes. Spolier = access to modern diabetes care (pumps, CGMs) dramatically improves HbA1c in kids with #T1D jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... #insulin4all

This is a nice study showing that out-of-pocket costs for diabetes technologies are associated with worse HbA1c levels. I wish there were more granular data on actual costs and affordability instead of just bucketing 'reimbursed' vs 'not reimbursed.' jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I'm seeing in popular media GLP-1s/Ozempic being used to reinforce a previously dying frame of mind. Being obese = diabetes. Diabetes = because *you* did it to yourself. You see it in YouTube skits, late night jokes etc. I thought we were making good progress on reversing this nonsense but no. 😔

My 2 minute video on It Belongs to the World by @lisakatzenberger.bsky.social and @missdiabetes.bsky.social - it's awesome and you should buy it for your kids www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYcD... #insulin4all #kidsbooks

Man, Grimes' music back in the day 👩‍🍳

Insulin is not going to head to commodity status on it's own. We need to keep pushing to get the prices down - globally. #insulin4all
