Hello my old friend… Having asthma and type one, sometimes don’t go hand in hand, especially when the steroids happen to make an appearance!! #T1d #Type1Diabetes #T1dWarrior #ChasingTheGreen #T1dAwareness #Diabetes #Type1Story #T1dStrong #T1dLooksLikeMe #InsulineDependent #BloodSugar #ThatTypeOneLife #TypeOneDiabetic #Insuline4All #DiabetesSucks #DiabetesSupport #TypeOneFitness #TypeOneParents #TypeOneProblems #DiabetesUK #SelfCare #dexcom #support

Thank you to the ‘West Hampshire Community Diabetes Service Hampshire & Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation’ for letting give a talk to 16-25yr olds with #type1. I spoke about the ups and downs of my past 26/27yrs of living with the disease. This pic shows the devices through the years of living with type1. I am soo thankful to #omnipodinsulinpump for making my life as stress free as it can be! 💙 #T1d #Type1Diabetes #T1dWarrior #ChasingTheGreen #T1dAwareness #Diabetes #Type1Story #T1dStrong #T1dLooksLikeMe #InsulineDependent #BloodSugar #ThatTypeOneLife #TypeOneDiabetic #Insuline4All #DiabetesSucks #DiabetesSupport #TypeOneFitness #TypeOneParents #TypeOneProblems #DiabetesUK #SelfCare #dexcom #dexcomteam #support

First time in 3 years I have had to go back on to steroids for #asthma , since starting a biological injection! This also marks the first time in my 25+ years of living with both asthma and #type1 , I have seen the side effects of taking steroids with the blood sugars! Hope everyone is doing well! #t1d #type1diabetes #t1dwarrior #chasingthegreen #t1dawareness #diabetes #type1story #t1dstrong #t1dlookslikeme #insulinedependent #bloodsugar #thattypeonelife #typeonediabetic #insuline4all #DiabetesSucks #DiabetesSupport #TypeOneFitness #TypeOneParents #TypeOneProblems #DiabetesUK #SelfCare #dexcom #dexcomteam #lungs #support

Joys of diabetes! Back at hospital waiting to see an Ophthalmologist to tell me if I need further injections or to send me to a more specialist hospital to carry out a small surgery to drain any blood at the back of my eye!! #T1d #Type1Diabetes #T1dWarrior #ChasingTheGreen #T1dAwareness #Diabetes #Type1Story #T1dStrong #T1dLooksLikeMe #InsulineDependent #BloodSugar #ThatTypeOneLife #TypeOneDiabetic #Insuline4All #DiabetesSucks #DiabetesSupport #TypeOneFitness #TypeOneParents #TypeOneProblems #DiabetesUK #SelfCare #dexcom #dexcomteam #Support

Wrote an article and managed to get it on the Council Network front page! It’s taken me three years of badgering to get something on there about diabetes! #T1d #Type1Diabetes #T1dWarrior #ChasingTheGreen #T1dAwareness #Diabetes #Type1Story #T1dStrong #T1dLooksLikeMe #InsulineDependent #BloodSugar #ThatTypeOneLife #TypeOneDiabetic #Insuline4All #DiabetesSucks #DiabetesSupport #TypeOneFitness #TypeOneParents #TypeOneProblems #DiabetesUK #SelfCare #dexcom #dexcomteam #Support
