Volunteer advocates working together (with support from @t1international) for #insulin4all. We advocate for transparency and lower cost of insulin in IL.

[T1International @t1international]

Our friends in Sierra Leone at Help Madina are working hard to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes across their community, as well as to provide health support and advocacy to improve diabetes services. We stand with them! #insulin4all

[Canada #insulin4all 🇨🇦 @CANinsulin4all]

World Diabetes Day is over, but our fight for insulin access for all is not. All this month we talk about access to insulin and diabetes care here in Canada- talk to us about your experiences across the country! #insulin4all CNDinsulin4all #FreeInsulin100

@dingeratemybaby Members of our group can tell you personally that they have rationed insulin. It happens every day. Look at the story of @NSmithholt12 and others whose family members died rationing insulin. Now you know people. @RenegadeLib @JennKait

[World Diabetes Day @WDD]

14 Nov is #WorldDiabetesDay, the birthday of Frederick #Banting, who co-discovered #insulin nearly 100 years ago. A celebration of millions of lives saved & reminder that insulin & other essential #diabetes care remains unavailable to many who require it. https://t.co/iRzWGOWIGE

You know your reform is going to save taxpayer money when #pharma straight up offers you $1 billion to stop it https://t.co/h22ZbN7dfw #PMPRB #pharmacare #insulin4all

American consumers are facing a crisis of rising drug costs & we can’t wait any longer to act.

I’m introducing the Transparent Drug Pricing Act, to promote drug pricing transparency & reduce prescription drug costs for American families. Read more here 👉https://t.co/rmiOuE8oLd

“we warned before the crisis that having a larger country dependent upon a much smaller country for its insulin supply is untenable & now this crisis has turned into a catastrophe.” -@Jandelliott

thank you @francoisriweb for such a thoughtful story!

@mrfezzywig77 @NYinsulin4all @t1international That's why we need to fix our laws! Contacting your legislator is the best thing you can do.

[Patricia Clark Thomas @PatThomas45]

@WeThePatientsNY @NYinsulin4all @t1international America is now full of these stories. Unfortunately, the GOP senators and representatives who have full healthcare for life, simply do not care about the rest of us. They have once again made that clear with their refusal to pass needed legislation, and their protection of Trump.

[We The Patients NY 🍎 @WeThePatientsNY]

How can it be that an insured, employed, patient w/ #diabetes is spending $8K out-of-pocket, is forced to ration insulin, & use her savings to cover her health care?

This is the story of Melisssa Passarelli of @NYinsulin4all & @t1international. Read here: https://t.co/plWokd6EcN

[340B Health @340BHealth]

.@RepSpanberger, @RepCindyAxne, @RepDustyJohnson, @RepJohnKatko, Rep. @DorisMatsui, and @RepMcKinley led nearly half of Congress in sending @SecAzar a letter today urging him to prevent #pharma from turning #340B into a rebate program. https://t.co/Ew1lUuzmba #Protect340B

Humalog and Novolog insulins have been around for over 20 years, and they should be less expensive. Patent blocking has extended the grip of manufacturers on the insulin market, making true generics near impossible. Learn more here.

[Illinois #insulin4all @ILinsulin4all]

Absolutely true! The two insulins do not work in the same way, the older insulin does not work as well, and doctor visits are needed if you make the switch. Do not go it alone and risk your life. This article should be retracted immediately. #Insulin4all

[T1International @t1international]

The hard-won passage of Alec’s Bill in Minnesota meant relief for patients. But now PhRMA is suing to overturn the legislation. Today, @t1international, @MNinsulin4all, @NHeLP_org, and @legal_aid_MN filed an amicus brief, urging the courts to #ProtectAlecsBill. #insulin4all

[Texas #insulin4all @TXinsulin4all]

Hi everyone! We have been busy organizing for about a month, and now we finally have some important information to share! We are hoping to get Kevin’s Law, an emergency prescription refill law, here in Texas.

[Nicole Smith-Holt #insulin4all @NSmithholt12]

Day 10 of Diabetes Awareness Month: Over the past 20 years insulin has increased in price by more than 1200% making it unaffordable for most type 1 diabetics. Alec's body was found on 06-27-2017 and cause of death was DKA from rationing insulin. #insulin4all #LongLiveAl

[Nicole Smith-Holt #insulin4all @NSmithholt12]

Day 8 of Diabetes Awareness Month: insulin is the 6th most expensive liquid in the world. Alec died in 2017 because he couldn't afford to purchase his Insulin. #Insulin4all #LongLiveAl

Advocating *for* pharma is easy mode.
Advocating for patients is expert mode.
