One of the things I love most about @breakthrought1duk.bsky.social @breakthrought1dhq.bsky.social is that while we’re laser-focused on improving life for people affected by #T1D and driving towards cures, we’re part of a truly global community driving breakthroughs. 1/3

And it was wonderful to see Partha S Kar back on stage. The affection and support in the room spoke volumes about what he means to this community and all he has done for people living with #T1D 💙 Days like yesterday leave me feeling grateful, hopeful and reminded that none of us has to do this alone

Still feeling the impact of an unforgettable @breakthrought1duk.bsky.social Discovery Day in #Belfast 💙 Saturday was everything these events are about: people coming together, sharing stories, learning side‑by‑side and reminding one another that no one should ever have to navigate #T1D alone. 1/4

So good to see Jazz Sethi today for lunch on her travels from India 🇮🇳, catching up and talking about the power of connection, shared experience and showing up for one another in the #T1D community. These kinds of conversations always reinforce how vital community is: not just for support, but …

It’s the small things that make life with #T1D that bit easier. What might seem simple to others can have a huge impact - like the new CarPlay update that lets Live Activities/widgets from my (DIY) Loop show up while driving. Having glucose levels visible makes the road safer and so much more … 1/2

The DIY journeys continues – after enjoying #Loop for a long while, I took the plunge (with support from the fab DIY community) to #Trio’s new public beta. So far I’m loving it – it’s intuitive, familiar and very customisable. I’m yet to enable dynamic features (as it needs 7 days of data) 💙 #T1D
