🩺 Do you know the 4 T’s of Type 1 Diabetes?

Spreading awareness could help save lives. If someone shows any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly. The 4 T’s are:

Toilet — going for a wee more often, especially at night if you didn’t before

Thirsty — always feeling thirsty, drinking more than usual

Tired — feeling unusually fatigued, low energy

Thinner — losing weight without trying, looking thinner than normal

Type 1 diabetes symptoms tend to come on quickly, often over just days or weeks. If you see any of these in yourself, a loved one or a child — see a GP, call NHS 111, or go to A&E if things worsen. Early diagnosis matters.

💙 Let’s Talk About Type 1 Diabetes 💙

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune condition where the body stops producing insulin — meaning blood glucose needs to be carefully managed every single day. It can affect anyone, at any age.

Living with T1D can be challenging, but the right education and support make a world of difference.

Early detection matters. Watch this video by the NHS (BSL) about breast screening.

📅 If you're a woman aged 50 to 70, you’ll be invited every 3 years for a free mammogram. If you’re 25 to 49, know what’s normal for your body, do regular self-checks.

⚠️ Look out for:

New lumps or thickening in breast tissue

Changes in shape or size

Discharge from the ni**le, or changes to the skin
