I've always chosen @Moto @motorolaUK Moto G phones for their lack of bloatware. But the recent change to keep trying to force install apps after every Android update is getting tiresome. Please remove this!
Huge thank you to @givebloodscot for the @Metallica t-shirt ๐ค๐ฉธ๐ธ He's not quite old enough yet but is all set to donate on his 17th birthday (while wearing the shirt of course!) #FutureDonor #GiveBlood #72Seasons

I had massive concerns after we (as @iPAG_Scot) found out that centralised funding for the roll-out of hybrid closed loop technology was being withdrawn. I contacted now former local list MSP, @FoysolChoudhury, to ask an urgent question to the minister responsible, @jenni_minto
Really enjoyed @fiercebeer #NorthernLightsBeerFest
Lots of amazing craft beer on offer!
@Tartarusbeers @atticbrewco @SirenCraftBrew @holygoatbrewing @EmperorsBrewery #CraftBeer #DarkBeer #Stouts
This feels like a big change in funding & a huge step backwards for people in Scotland living with #Type1 #Diabetes at a time when @ScotParl is in purdah ahead of 2026 Elections.
Would be good to understand why this change has been made @jenni_minto @neilcgray #gbdoc

This is such an important debate at 6pm tonight. I always wonder if my own Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis would have been picked up correctly if I wasn't already aware of the 4T symptoms: Toilet, Thirsty, Tired, Thinner. Please share for awareness. #LylasLaw #TestDontGuess #GBDoc
Thanks to the dedicated work of @triggersbroom17 a debate will take place in @HouseofCommons at 6pm tonight to discuss #LyalasLaw
Please see the below letter @iPAG_Scot sent to all 57 Scottish MPs.

Today on behalf of @iPAG_Scot I emailed all 57 Scottish MPs to ask that they please attend Westminster Hall on March 9th & support petition 728677 to fund Type 1 testing for infants in routine care. Please feel free to tag your Scottish MP below #LylasLaw #TestDontGuess
@HarrietCross_MP As one of your constituents living with #Type1 Diabetes I really hope you can attend & support this petition. No one should lose their life to a missed diagnosis when the test is quick, easy & inexpensive #LylasLaw #TestDontGuess

No photo this time but another successful IPAG north meet up at Cup Cafe. We discussed stigma, #LylasLaw, living with & peoples understanding of T1. Also what the charities are doing for us & the need for @iPAG_Scot to serve the needs of the T1 community. @NiVZ
