Running on insulin is standard opps for all Type 1s, as well
as a fair few Type 2s, like cars run on petrol. In this issue I
spoke to Josh Malin about his diabetes kit when it came
to my attention that in his spare time he takes his diabetes
out for a proper spin, doing motorsport challenges, and it turns out he's pretty
fast. So does he blood test at the wheel? Actually, I didn't ask him that!
This issue also has a round up of recent news, with insights from
blogger Zoe Morris about her part in a user group run by BD about injection
technique, while Olivia Young tells us what it was like to visit the House of
Commons as part of Abbott's reception, developed with the support of NHS
England and NHS Improvement Programme, in relation to developing improved
access to diabetes technologies. Oh, and by the way, have a Happy Christmas,
a fab New Year, and we'll be back in 2020!
