Latest issue: Keeping your kit stuck on in the heat. Summer tips for travel and sticking things in place.

The sun’s finally out, and it could all end up being too much of a good thing if it heats up too much…. Those of us using on-body diabetes technology know that many factors can be involved in whether it stays in place or not. We have a look at tips, tricks and tapes that can help keep your kit on. We’ve included our downloadable traveller’s checklist, to help you remember all your bits for your jolly hollybobs. There’s plenty of news, as usual, as well as the second part of our feature series, Nothing Beats a Blood Test with updates from Lifescan, Agamatrix, GlucoRx, Nipro Diagnostics and Spirit Healthcare. There’s a super story about the battle for our beta cells with researchers looking to improve the immune system’s ability to tolerate beta cells, while others are researching improving beta cell regeneration. And we introduce About A Diabetic, a Swedish filmmaker (Alexander Edenwind) who travels to interview other T1Ds all over the world and pops his films on YouTube. Do enjoy this issue!
