The use of #ContinuousGlucoseMonitors in #T1Diabetes is now universal in the #NHS
With population level improvements
It is time now for #T2Diabetes
The evidence base is building steadily
And I would ask @pcdosociety @DTN_UK @ABCDiab leadership to step forward and ask @NICEComms to review this
And push @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk on implementation- if approved
It's time to ensure all living with #Diabetes (not just using #Insulin) have this tool to help their self management

If the world is getting a little too much may I recommend the inexplicably obsolete word ‘latibulating’, from the 17th century? To latibulate is to find a cosy corner somewhere and hide in it.

This is shocking. Well done the Jordanian FA for holding out against this corruption.
There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. Let me start by clarifying what some of these are from an FA perspective, in particular that of Jordan going into a World Cup for the first time.
We are a small country with a minimal budget for our FA and had to deal with enormous hurdles. First, getting our fans into the USA: not all were granted VISAS, even though they had tickets -which we also know were sold at exorbitant prices. Secondly, we are being taxed by the US govt through FIFA for our participation. Money that should go to players and staff. This was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and Mexico. But we happened to be in the USA so now we face these huge costs in taxes for having participated.
Thirdly we have been waiting for reward money for our players since December for the Arab cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. The money our team should receive for having reached the final has not been delivered yet, while at the same time FIFA brags about how many billions they have in reserve.
It is clear the problem really is with leadership. For months, FIFA has been refusing to help us on any of these or other matters- until it was verbally communicated to me during the World Cup that if I endorsed Infantino it would go a long way to helping our FA out.
We pride ourselves in Jordan in upholding ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly will not now. But the whole situation amounts to blackmail and we refuse to give in to that.

The number 96 has been tattooed on my wrist since 2015.
It reminds me every day that I was one of the lucky ones who came home from Hillsborough.
Today, standing in Parliament to speak as the Hillsborough Law passed was one of the proudest and most emotional moments of my life.
For the 97. For their families. For every campaigner who never gave up.
This is your legacy.

The Cambridge South station has arrived on time 🚆
Opened to the public last Sunday, the @networkrail station can receive over 1.8 million journeys in a year. This will be invaluable to the @CamBioCampus and the University of Cambridge. The Campus is the city's largest employment site, where over 22,000 people work 🧑🔬
This will not only make commuting easier for many workers, it will also benefit those visiting the Campus to seek treatment or find research and investment opportunities.
Have you got off at this new stop? Let us know how much time it has saved you👇
Me at the new #CambridgeSouth station, which only opened yesterday. I got across town (Cambridge North to South) in 10 mins and then a further 10 mins to walk to the office on the Biomedical Campus. Brilliant!

How are London's churches going to cope with the massive influx of far right Christians in town today, as their thoughts inevitably turn to where they will worship and sing?
