The Diversity of Type 1 Diabetes Across Bristol (T1D-DAB) Study @t1d-dabstudy.bsky.social · 02/05/2025
Age and ethnicity are highly underrepresented in Type 1 diabetes research. The T1D-DAB study at the University of Bristol is aiming to change that.📣 Follow our T1D-DAB community for updates. #Type1diabetes #PhDResearch #InclusiveResearch #UniversityOfBristol #T1DResearchMatters #T1Dcommunity
A photo of eight people of different ages and ethnic backgrounds. The text on the image says, "Type 1 Diabetes Doesn’t Look Just One Way" and "Underrepresented research topic." The image highlights the diversity often missing from T1D research.

A nice summary of Time in Tight Range for people WITHOUT diabetes. Non-diabetics spend the vast majority of time btw 70-140mg/dL. This is almost impossible to achieve with T1D but even 50% TITR is considered enough to avoid most long term complications #ATTD2025 #dedoc°

Quality sleep is crucial to optimizing *time in range.* Study details "the potential detrimental role of circadian rhythm misalignment on glycemic regulation, providing evidence to incorporate sleep timing into glucose management guidelines." www.medscape.com/viewarticle/... #Type1Diabetes #T1D
medscape.com
Do Sleep Patterns Affect Glycemic Control?
In middle-aged and older adults, inadequate sleep duration and late sleep onset are linked to increased glycemic variability, and addressing sleep patterns may help optimize glycemic control.

We really need to talk about #Neurodivergence and #Type1Diabetes together. We hear about Diabetes Distress these days but in my opinion, this is something at the root of a lot of it. Stigma in both that if removed and when supported with what is needed can make the world of difference.

I feel like 'lax' is such a negative and loaded term especially as TIR targets are unachievable for most let alone TTIR and 'lax' seems like 'lazy' when the person is doing their best with the tools they only have access to. Would 'baseline' or 'standard' not be better? #T1D #T2D #Diabetes

Yesterday was Day 2 taking part in a trial to find out how α-MSH works in muscle to reduce blood sugar. Raging how my trend on Thurs night went crazy on me despite eating early & with previous hypos during the night when basal testing the other week! #T1DResearch #T1D #PeriMeno #ThighBiopsy 🤓
Hooked up to either Alpha-MSH or a placebo (visibly identical dummy liquid)Glucose trend on AAPS showing went out of range after changing to low glucose suspend overnight.
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test at 11 and peaked to 27.4 at 12.55.

After a very tight weekend managing hypos, I fall at the last hurdle. I could never have not treated this the way it was heading, and get ready, do school, and drive an hour to site. I was only supposed to have basal insulin and fasting. Trial today cancelled. 😭 #T1DResearch #T1D
