What a 10yrs @parthaskar 💙 You’ve changed T1D care in ways most of us never thought we’d see… absolute game‑changing impact. You brought the community into the room, backed our collective voices, took the hits, pushed anyway and built things like @TADtalkEvents that made us feel seen, heard and connected. You’ve left T1D care - and all of us - in a better place. What a legacy. Thank you, Partha (professionally and as someone living with #T1D) 💙 @BT1DUK #GBDoc #NIDoc @GBDocInfo #Type1Diabetes
It's been a decade of leading in #t1diabetes care for @NHSEngland 😃 And finally? It's time to hand the mantle over regards technology in the world of #t1diabetes A @YouTube video on my channel- for those living with #T1D and their carers Thank you for all the support, love and help- YOU have been the reason we have come so far. I will still be around -yet the technology journey comes to a close- as all things must. It's been a swashbucklingly fun decade. We made some progress, didn't we? x Much love Partha @BT1DUK @DiabetesUK @NHSGIRFT (Link for whole video: lnkd.in/eJVWqXp6 )

The final session of the #TAD2025 from Michael Cox giving time for reflection on #T1D and the rollercoaster of managing the condition. Highs and lows are also emotional. Powerful and honest testimony reflects the resilience of the community.
