The band HAIM are currently being interviewed on BBC breakfast, and as Colin Patterson was asking his questions one of the sisters (who lives with T1D) had to get her insulin pump out to answer a Dexcom alert.

Brief conversation followed and she showed her tSlim to camera and have a shout out to T1s everywhere.

That’s a first for me! And nice to know that T1 tech can stick its oar in at inconvenient times however famous you are :D

I have noticed a sudden spate of adverts on the television for CGMs but they never tell you the cost.
On Morning Live yesterday there was a doctor promoting better training for G Ps on diet mentioning Protein, Fat and Fibre as the key if I remember correctly.
 
Not being up with the kids physically or mentally - I wouldn't know HAIM if they came to my front door and didn't/don't see BBC at that time in a morning! But yes - good for her just whipping her pump out and dealing with it without batting an eyelid - PRECISELY what she should do! Wonder if she was Hi or Lo? LOL

Yes, I saw that on Breakfast and was pleasantly pleased. I had no idea who HAIM are (still don't) but it was a really good thing to see her be so positive about being type 1 and take it in her stride 🙂
