>If people with T1D do not inject insulin, they die.

Too many lives have been lost due to the pharmaceutical industry's greed. Micah was one of them. If this outrages you, too, please join our movement: https://t.co/GeJNTEUcKM

[California #insulin4all @CAinsulin4all]

In order to stay alive, many people with #diabetes must make sacrifices to afford our #insulin

At @T1International, we believe no one has to go hungry in order to afford their medicine. We advocate for us because @PhRMA extorts & exploits us

What have you had to sacrifice #DOC?

Insulin pump and diabetes sleepwear company StoWELL is running a fundraiser on behalf of T1International! They are offering a 10% discount using the code ‘T1INTL10’ and T1International will receive 10% of sales in the month of March!

The fact that the big three insulin manufacturers, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi can just lower their price (or raise it) pretty much in lockstep, means that passing the #InsulinForAllAct is incredibly important to ensure that no one will die from insulin rationing again.

Over the past couple weeks, the work of patient advocates changed the landscape of the insulin market forever. While more needs to be done, our voices are being heard and the insulin cartel is bending to our pressure. Use the link to sign the petition: https://t.co/SEUfxEuWE4

[T1International @t1international]

We will continue to advocate for all three insulin manufacturers - Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi - to lower the cost of ALL of their insulins to an affordable price, and to do so across the globe. Sign our petition online using the link: https://t.co/SEUfxEuWE4

THEY ARE LOWERING INSULIN’S LIST PRICE.

This was no small feat by diabetes activists. In fact, few prescription medications in the US have ever had their list prices lowered.

WE. DID. THIS.

Now it’s time to bring it home and pass the #InsulinForAllAct!

Sign this Petition to Call on Sanofi and Novo Nordisk to Lower the Price of Insulin Now

In the aftermath of yesterday's news, T1International and our allies worked to ensure that the voices of patients were receiving the attention they deserved.

In the coming days, we'll share more stories, quotes, and press led by our team and others in the community!
