I have T1 diabetes (have since I was in kindergarten) and would also die very painfully and quickly if I didnโt have insulin. In effect, I am a hostage of Eli Lilly and Company and Novo Nordisk US ๐งช๐ฌ. If I donโt get their $300/vial product (I need about 4 every month), I die.
Partha S Kar ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ง๐๐ฅ As a patient talking to HCP. Other influences acknowledged (not normally named) focus on carbs and before libre hba1c. I don't think there is much research re peri menopause /T1 diabetes but not searched myself. Monthly cycles/fertility drugs also largely absent from conversation
Scott Newgent My kid with bipolar and t1 diabetes got the release forms to allow me access, at age 15.
He wasn't going to sign... until I reminded him that meant he would be 100% responsible for making appointments and keeping them, as well as getting Rx's and labs done as required. ๐คฃ
๐ฌ๐งโโ๏ธ I've been doing good, I'm saving up money to move to Cali and still finishing my PTA (physical therapy) degree. Then after that, I plan to go to Lourdes France to get my T1 Diabetes cured! ๐

Black Chic with the Red Truck Dr. Lisa Iannattone Jane Marple โฟ ๐ Excuse me, where does it say that I must be kind & compassionate 24/7? I have long covid as well as T1 diabetes so I'm already immunocompromised. I find it extremely annoying when people who are not experts criticize the scientists in order for their 15 minutes. It's not helpfulโฆ
Did you know?
EACH region of NHS England now has a centre to tackle #EatingDisorders in #T1Diabetes
Much more to do
Yet?
An area which -as a policy- is being looked into NHS Diabetes Programme -with relevant support from professionals of this debilitating condition

George Alexopoulos Dodged it bc of my T1 diabetes. The autoimmune curse that gifted me lol.
Congrats to #AmericanNinjaWarrior Champ, Katie Bone. Sheโs a 16 yr. old who loves #rockclimbing & has T1 #Diabetes . Katie wears an insulin pod and continuous glucose meter on her triceps where they donโt interfere with her monkeying around. She a #superhero in my book! #Epilectra
BBC Radio Sheffield - the ace Becky Measures - shared this invitation earlier: Everyone who lives with T1 diabetes is welcome to gather tomorrow at Endcliffe Park Cafรฉ at 11am for a walk.
1pm at the cafรฉ for chat, snap & coffee!
Relax, chat & explain nothing!!
Hot chocolate is available!
lola the dog Many of us do until we have something happen to make us realize just how precious good health is. One of our Dads has T1 diabetes & some health challenges so we know all too well. Glad you are home and on the rd to a full recovery, we hope. Sending healing purrs your way fren. ๐
Your daily reminder that a vial of insulin that lasts me about a week is still $300+. I die quickly and painfully without it.
The US is the only country that doesnโt cap insulinโs price.
We need to pass the #InsulinForAllAct and end insulin rationing for good.
