As the parent of a type-I diabetic, I would like to invite the ignorant piece of shit currently directing the FDA to kiss my ass.

Dangerous comments from the FDA commissioner. Also, Ozempic is not an insulin, it is a GLP-1, these are not the same thing. Also... what the hell are you going on about?! #insulin4all

He really said it 😵‍💫

The time to make allies and connections within your community is *now* Don't wait until after the threat comes

“But I like my job and get along with my boss, why should I bother joining a union?”

David Ricks of @EliLillyandCo murders diabetics by pricing basic insulin at thousands of dollars per month. Friends have lost their sons, daughters, fiances, and many have suffered irreversible kidney failure and limb amputation. Where are David’s murder/terrorism charges?

1 in 6 dollars spent in the US is spent on healthcare, yet we're still rationing insulin and dying from treatable illnesses

To everyone pearl-clutching over the public’s ambivalence re the murder of a healthcare CEO: Where the fuck were you when these folks died because they couldn’t afford insurance or basic insulin? www.t1international.com/in-memory/ I reserve my tears for people who deserve them. Full stop.

Insulin should be free. Insulin should be free. Insulin should be free. Insulin should be free. Insulin should be free. Insulin should be free. Insulin should be free. Insulin should be free. Insulin should be free. Insulin should be free. Insulin should be free. Insulin should be free.

A reminder on this last day of #DiabetesAwarenessMonth - diabetic folks are not your punchline. If you can't make a witty joke about diabetes - don't. If you don't live in the house of 'betes, you don't get it. All you can do is grab the lowest fruit, and that shit is rotted to the core.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Nationalize insulin patents, make insulin a public good, and provide it for free to diabetics. No one should get rich because I must inject insulin to survive.

Agreed! Would love to see more of this! #T1D community folks—who’s got a great list of books/authors fitting the bill?

I developed T1D at 36 after an getting ill while on holiday. I haven’t felt healthy a single day since then. It is like a constant never ending low level flu. You don’t want this. Trust me.

I was also diagnosed with T1D shortly after a viral infection at age 9, and there are so many others who share a similar story. 💙

Really loving the great #WorldDiabetesDay vibes today, and what better time to connect and help grow our #T1D community right here and now?
