These deaths are not painless either. Diabetes ketoacidosis is a horrible and painful thing to have, and a horrible thing to die of.

[James Elliott @Jandelliott]

I see a lot of passive language used to describe the situation facing people living with diabetes who don't get the medicine they need.

'gave situation'
'serious concern'
etc.

The reality is they are dying and dead. Let's be real in our langauge. #insulin4all #NCDs

Researchers who study Type 2 diabetes have reached a stark conclusion: There is no device or drug powerful enough to counter the effects of poverty, pollution, stress, a broken food system, cities that aren't walkable, and inequitable access to healthcare. https://t.co/aQUve1pQW1

Please do not compare Canada to our international peers, it’s misleading. Health care is not pharmacare. Canada is the only nation with universal health care
without universal pharmacare. Canada still does not have an national formulary/essential medicines list.

@CheriDiNovo Hi @CheriDiNovo you are welcome to attend one of our meetings to hear firsthand the struggles Canadian T1Ds face when trying afford their lifesaving insulin & other medications. Last year 19% of Canadians rationed their insulin due to cost.

2022 marks the 100yr anniversary of the discovery of insulin. We're not celebrating this centenary becoz millions of pple worldwide can't access/afford
Insulin was meant 2 be a gift 2 the world bt has become a posterchild of pharmaceutical industry greed.

Your daily reminder reminder why you should #VoteFordOutJune2 if you think politicians should have to live up to their promises 🤷🏼‍♀️

A 🧵 for you that I put together back in 2020 (the broken #LTC promises have only piled on since then, BTW):

We need a national pharmacare program to ensure everyone in Canada can have the meds they need. 100 years later and Cdns are struggling with getting access to their insulin- Faced with high drug costs, N.L. woman resorts to using expired insulin | CBC News https://t.co/U2kLNvW9XC

Another year, another disappointing budget from the federal government. Imagine if funding for healthcare was increased the same way military spending was!

You can't talk about HIV as a purely lifestyle disease anymore. People will rightly think you are at best misinformed, at worse, a 🤡

Now we just need to get there with diabetes #insulin4all

Another year of pharma free advocacy in the books! Read the 2021 T1International Impact Report and learn about our financial commitment to never accept funds from organizations that may impact our ability to advocate freely.

[Brit @BritHancock_]

Yes! 👏🏼We need a national regulatory or governing body that enforces Cdn patient groups to be transparent about their pharmaceutical donors & the power these donations provide on the patient group’s policies. Thankful that @CANinsulin4all /@t1international discloses this info!

Achieving an under 7 HbA1c as a work from home desk worker (me) is a different thing than doing it as a person working 12 hour nightshifts in a warehouse.

Don't judge anyone because of a blood test.
