So i did this #TedX talk in October in Tralee -a different way of communicating for me- it was a nerve-wracking but fascinating experience, & met some wonderfully diverse speakers on the day. Hope it gets more notice for the Irish 🇮🇪 revolutionary women #tedxtralee #speirgorm youtu.be/FLRIKMiJ5Qc?...

Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes: The “4Ts”
I always remember the “4Ts” when talking about diabetes symptoms:
👉 Tiredness • Thirst • Toilet • Thinner 👈
The “4Ts” matter for both Type 1 and Type 2, though they can show up slower in Type 2

The multistage chart for type 1 diabetes. Please note that if you only test positive for 1 autoantibody you are unlikely to progress to later stage type 1. There is a lot of misinformation on social media about this aspect.
