I am hosting a vigil in Washington D.C. with the #M4M4ALL I will be reading the names of lost loved one to our cruel healthcare system's greed. If anyone would like me to read the name of their lost loved one please send me a message. Dm's always open m4m4all.org

Lindsey and I started this together and a ton of people told us not to get our hopes up and that we may have to try next session but she absolutely did not give up. I am so proud of her and everyone that helped along the way 🥺

“The study finds that over the last decade, people with diabetes in the U.S. have become significantly less successful at controlling their blood sugar.” Meanwhile:
Whatever in the world could explain these findings? 🤔 Oh right, insulin is necessary to control blood sugar (and survive) but in the US, it’s priced at $300/vial. A vial lasts me about a week. medicalnewstoday.com/article…

I’m glad Twitter didn’t exist when I was a teenager and my a1c was a 13.9/128.4. Also, this is why we hate doctors.

A question for the #doc #gbdoc - I’m currently writing an article on diabetes and eating disorders, and where it is to be posted it will be the first written on the topic. What are the main things that you wish people knew and understood? #t1de #diabulimia

A good thread on insulin prices (although I disagree no overt collusion has happened to price fix insulin). When it’s buy or die, the sky is the limit for what these companies can charge us for insulin. We need federal insulin price caps. Full stop.
Why are prescription drug prices so high in the US? Let us start with insulin as an example. Insulin is the Achilles heel. If we understand insulin, we understand why it's so hard to fix our broken system. 1/ Existence of a vulnerable population needing a lifesaving medicine

Sugar-free candy is just a candy-flavoured laxative that sucks at being both things.

Reminder the @t1international in memory page are a FRACTION of the real deaths. T1I doesn't even publish all as many families, understandably, don't give consent. Mothers like @NSmithholt12 @cloudess + more get so much abuse. A crime against humanity t1international.com/in-memor…

If gas was price gouged like insulin is, a gallon would be $35.75.
But insulin makers price gouging diabetics for insulin we need to survive is totally cool, amirite?

Well I decided to donate blood today on my son’s 8th Angelversary. My son could’ve been saved but wasn’t because of greed. What I’m doing cost zilch and will save 3 lives today. Take that you pharmaceutical bureaucratical bitches

Insulin should cost $0.00 for patients dependent on it to live. Charging us $1000+ per month to survive is nothing more than legalized robbery - your money or your life.

Hey @AOC , how about #MedicareForAll now?
All of those things are conditioned on your ability to afford insulin.

Hey @AOC you wanna talk insulin prices? Hit me up! It’ll be 3 years on 5/11/21 since I lost my Allen to insulin rationing. I’m more than willing to talk if you’d like to listen.

Replying to @DrEricDing @AOC
Dear Representative Ocasio-Cortez, I think you should have a conversation w/ Allen’s Mom (Nicki @cloudess ❤️). She has direct knowledge about the insulin price crisis in the US. How many more people that are forced to ration insulin because they can’t afford it will die?
