Type 1: insulin production collapse due to auto-immune reaction
Type 2: insulin resistance, often due to obesity
Type 3: insulin production collapse due to pancreatic damage (from cancer for example)
Type 4: age-related insulin resistance/collapse
Type 5: insulin resistance/collapse due to malnutrition, most often in childhood
The @TetraLogical team has gathered (online) for a day of retrospectives, updates, and opportunities to continue innovating what we do and the services we offer, plus a Christmas quiz to wrap it all up.
There might also be a selection of Christmas hats on display, and there's a rumour going around that my hat might not be black! 😊
Loved this conversation with @marcthiele.com and @bradfrost.com https://beyondtellerrand.com/blog/brad-frost-wake-up-excited-with-marc-thiele
What a week, huh? 😅
Listening to the news, you'd think we were being invaded by people arriving in small boats...
It's actually 40,652 people in 2025.

In Aug, the UK Gov announced a £100m investment to "tackle people smuggling gangs".
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/investment-for-border-security-command-paves-way-for-new-crackdown-on-people-smuggling-gangs
That's basically £250k per person who arrives on a small boat.
WTF?
TA-DA! This is v0.8 of my neon-Norbot virtual pinball table! I’ve taken the digital recreation of a skate-themed 1990 Bally pinball called ‘Radical’ and rethemed it as ‘Gnarlybot’, the fluro-soaked design I created for the Gromit Unleashed 3 charity arts trail! #virtualpinball #vpinball #aardman

Well, thank f...
PerlBod just chucked some chorizo in the cauliflower cheese we had for dinner this evening.
I think I'm in love 💜
@nolan Just reading your post on the <time> element. I agree with your general assertion, but I'm curious how you're thinking a screen reader might handle the element if it were exposed in the acc tree?

I just love linear() 😍 #CSS #animation
Wrote about it here, in case you’re interested:
Oh BOY I am SO stoked on tonight’s passion project progress… I created the ‘backglass’ for my vpin and connected it up to the code of the game so all those lights trigger as the ROM tells it to! 😍
This is the table I’m reskinning, digitally, for my own ‘Gnarlybot’ design ❤️ [contains quote post or other embedded content]

@JonathanMosen A little while ago, I think you posted about your home automation setup. If that's right, could you remind me which platform/API you're using?
VPin progress! Backglass designed... I just can't decide which pattern in the background? Vortex angular swirl... or checkerboard!?
The @TetraLogical team has been working with #Tesco on their DDS design system
