What is 'time in range'?
It is a measurement of CGM sensor data highlighting how much time glucose levels are within a specific glucose range for a 24 hours period:
· 3.9 – 10.0mmol/L (70 – 180 mg/dL) for adults.
· 3.5 – 7.8mmol/L (63 – 140 mg/dL) during pregnancy🤰

Why are so many invited guests at our Maid committee already clear supporters of pretty much every kind of Maid. This is eugenics when the govt stacks the deck. I can't even listen at times when they discuss killing kids and infants. Monstrous.

Up now is Federation member @lasqd - Amélie Duranleau & @samuelragot presenting views from the Quebec Intellectual Disability Society/ Societe Quebecoise de la Deficience Intellectuelle.
"First, we must emphasize that we are very much in favour of the swift passing of Bill C-22. C-22 could play a decisive role in helping lift persons with disabilities out of poverty across the country. In that sense, it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity."
"Of course, we are aware that legislators may find voting on a foundational bill, which contains few details, uncomfortable. However, we believe that this is the right thing to do."
To be a #PWD in this time of turmoil during the creation of #C22 is a complex and emotional rollercoaster of events. A nation of ppl truly affected by the outcome are watching every single moment, working to be apart of the process, hoping to have their input. A🧵
There is nothing in the Bill which brings real comfort and trust in the system. That ultimately is the truth, as I see it. Call me a pessimist if you want to, but the truth is, as I see it- this needs to be wholly rewritten and expedited. It needs to call for accountability.
Some of the questions asked during the committee meeting were astonishingly crude. Able-bodied folk, imagine this scenario: you’re in constant pain, you’re either unable to see or hear or move or swallow, or any combination thereof; and the BIG question on the frontline is…
It wud appear there may b some confusion. At the Huma committee 4 bill c22 the impression is that they think pwd want the cdb to b the same $ amount as Cerb was. That figure was for people to temporarily survive at a very basic minimum survival level 4 the able bodied.

Gray is calling out the amount of talking they did with no substance, she wants a timeline but he blames parliamentary timeline for holding up his timeline, best estimate is a year?

Today I asked Minister @NicholasSimons if he would immediately raise the rates for people with disabilities so that they are no longer forced to live below the poverty line.
