Hi all - just to say, whilst we'll be continuing #brickabetes into 2017, but not on a daily basis (sorry). We'll still be here to chat tho!

This makes me so happy I’m doing a little dance 💃. I’m on the train though so it’s happening in my head 😊

Yep I'm familiar with this 😖 Another one I get is sitting in chairs with sidearms and catching your pump clipped on your waist

There's nothing quite like being stopped in your tracks as your pump tubing gets caught on a door handle #ow #brickabetes #diabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc

I’m so glad it’s not just me this happens to! Also: drawer knobs.

Not being able to get out of bed for 2 days, needing frequent afternoon naps and a brain that’s buried in constant fog... The effect of sleep deprivation/interrupted sleep thanks to #Type1diabetes shouldn’t be underestimated 😴 #brickabetes

Managing #diabetes isn't always just about the day-to-day insulin, carb counting and glucose tests - there's basic things like 'sleep' as well... #lego #diabetes #brickabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc

Have you ever taken (or wanted to take) a break from your pump? #lego #diabetes #brickabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc

Just never adjust your clock wherever you are and it's simple. Not sure why a lot of attractions are closed though.

Having to stop every 2 hours and test (and maybe eat sweets and wait) can spoil your holiday... #lego #brickabetes #diabetes #T1D #doc #gbdoc #holiday
