Great article in the @MailOnline on James Norton living with #T1D : 'It's ( #type1diabetes ) given me extraordinary empathy.' 'And that empathy extends to everyone — epileptics, coeliacs, diabetics — anyone who has something that makes them a bit different.'

James Norton on how he uses glucose monitor for naked shots

James Norton, 33, who plays Sidney Chambers in Grantchester, has type 1 diabetes and has to have a glucose monitor stuck out of sight on his bottom if he is filming a topless scene.

. @PaulHollywood we're big fans of yours but please do take this on board. There's no way to avoid type 1 diabetes and it can be tough to live with. Myths, misconceptions and mirth about 'diabetes' can make it tougher still.

@PaulHollywood @Channel4GBBO can’t stand mocking comments about diabetes Paul Hollywood! My daughter has been a type 1 since she was 18 months old, an autoimmune condition, walk a day in our shoes and see how funny ‘diabetes on a plate’ is. Shame on you.
