Posted this on Insta on that it was fitting on I had to change a sensor and infusion set. I feel bad I trivialized this. This is $100 of supplies and insulin that I have to change multiple times per week. I pay a massive monthly insurance payment for the privilege to have this access. In every other civilized nation, this same set/sensor change costs just a few bucks. Hundreds of thousands of Type 1s can’t afford this care and the ultimate result is death. This needs to change.

The ubiquitous drug, metformin, "has come to prominence despite a checkered history. Its story is one of delays, uncertainties, and dead ends, as well as fortuitous accidents."

I had NO signs when I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. In no small part, this was because I learned about my as part of an annual medical checkup.

My son got diagnosed with type 1 this summer. He's doing great. Bu while he was in the hospital, I read this line in a Lancet review that still haunts me.

"In Mozambique, the life expectancy for a newly diagnosed child with type 1 diabetes is 7 months."

en este recordar que cosas como la insulina es un derecho que todos deberíamos tener. Acceder a ella sin trabas es la única manera para muchas personas como yo de tener una vida. Los cuidados siempre al frente.

No olvidemos en el que la troleada a una farmacéutica nos debe hacer ver que cosas como la insulina son derechos que todos deberíamos tener. Acceder a ella sin trabas es la única manera para muchas personas como yo de tener una vida.

Today is . It is a reminder that we must make insulin affordable. I helped pass a $35 monthly cap on insulin costs for folks on Medicare, but our work is far from over — we need to make insulin affordable for all Georgians who depend on it.

As it is I’d just like to say I miss the old blood test monitors that would just say ‘HI’ and you could pretend you didn’t have terrible control and it was just being friendly.

It's
Since meeting my husband who has I've seen first hand how much work he needs to put in every moment of every day to stay alive. It's unpredictable, exhausting and never ending. I am in awe of his strength and that of all who know what it's like to live with this disease.

I hope for better treatment and understanding of the needs of diabetic people. Everyone deserves the medication they need.

Diabetes is a lifestyle disease because it requires a change in your lifestyle to remove stress points

Don't bite more than you can chew

When you get stressed the body releases several hormones many of which can raise your blood glucose level (ex. ) or make you hungry (ex. )

So keep stress in check

(This is so easy to preach but difficult to practice)
