Just astounding, listening to Dr. Erin Moore's disturbing account of how people with type 1 diabetes in the USA must resort to gofundme's and juridical activism to get access to vital insulin, a kind of "chronic terror" for many. #ChronicLiving session on Chronic temporalities

insulin is extremely wild bc too much will kill you and not enough will kill you and when you’re like wait what’s the right amount your body’s like it’s a secret 😉

A police officer shot and killed Makiah Bryant, a Black 15-year-old girl, in Columbus, Ohio, just minutes after the verdict announcement in Minneapolis, Minnesota. #blacklivesmatter

It’s almost the 100 year anniversary of the discovery of insulin as a treatment for diabetes. Before 1921, diabetes was 100% fatal. In 2021, 1 in 4 American diabetics must ration insulin to survive bc PhRMA prices it at $300 vial. We are dying for sheer greed. It must end.

"For those who ration insulin—and for all of us, and those who care for us—despair comes from the chronic terror of being forced to pay the soaring costs of drugs without which we cannot live." Erin Moore on fear, pharma, & keeping alive: #insulin4all somatosphere.net/2021/borrowed-…

Morning! Wanna get mad at a healthcare thing?! I’ve stretched insulin pump supplies for 6 mos to avoid reordering bc my “90% financial aid” only applies to my first $1000. I order $3K-$5K annually from this company. That’s not 90% aid. It’s 33% at best. Thanks, Medtronic Diabetes!

Omg should #insulin4all flood this? Let's hear the people speak! You can also nominate for advocacy efforts...

Excited to announce that I'll be giving a book talk with specific attention to methods and the biomedical turn in African health histories at Stanford in a couple of weeks. Come and join us virtually!

Love that without insurance I wouldn’t be able to afford to live 🥰🤗 #Insulin4all

Insulin could be free —like the covid vaccine.

Nancy Pelosi A reminder that the Democrats’ bill does NOT lower insulin’s price from $300+/vial & does NOT apply to the most vulnerable, the uninsured. It’s a copay cap for those privileged enough to have insurance. It’s a guarantee for PhRMA’s insulin profits on the backs of taxpayers.

On this #WorldDiabetesDay, a timely reminder that approximately half of the world’s population who require access to lifesaving insulin are currently unable to access it. #doc #gbdoc

Cannot wait to get my hands on this!

Urgent need for Humalog and Lantus in the Wichita Kansas area. #Insulin4all

I just love it when people talk about “controlling” diabetes- I went to the theatre to see Mamma Mia this evening at 7pm and the excitement of being in the mere presence of an ABBA song did this to me. How many carbs are in Dancing Queen then lmao

In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should fear that they won't be able to afford a life-saving drug like insulin. But last week, I sat down with some Americans who live that nightmare every day because of outrageous corporate greed.
