Was lucky to attend the book launch of India, Bharat and Pakistan by @jsaideepak and hear him speak.
I also made a quick sketch capturing his poise and calm.

@insulinforlife Hi. Would you be able to suggest a few diabetes organisations in Germany that I could approach. That'd be great. Thank you

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

I am looking to find the right type of student insurance in Germany that would help cover Type 1 Diabetes. I've been unable to find an insurance that suits me. Any leads on how to go about this would be extremely helpful. Please retweet to help share the message. More in comments

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

If there is any way I can get a solution or a resourceful approach to tackle this, then it'd be a great help. @AlexZverev #serveagainstdiabetes

It's surprising how no one has been able to provide a reasonable solution to my plea. Literally everyone just backed off saying "we can't take names". Are we really that connected? Or am I missing something? Or are my expectations for a life with diabetes as a student too high?

Sure, don't take names. I understand there are legalities that don't allow you to. Then why call yourself an international organisation/ community ? Why create boundaries where they don't exist?

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

I guess I'm digressing from my core message- I need insurance as a student. Being 30+ and not working means I can only choose Private insurance. But how do I source my medications and prescriptions once in Germany?

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

@medtroniceu I understand. Could you atleast give me a direction on how to proceed with getting an insurance that would cover my needs? It's okay to not take names but a direction of inquiry would be more helpful.

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

@bluecirclediab @drmohanv There isn't an issue acquiring private insurance. It's just that they do not cover pre-existing conditions like T1D. So I'm trying to understand how to arrange for insulin and other pump accessories. Would i need a prescription? If yes, how? Price?- are my queries at the moment

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

@bluecirclediab @drmohanv I've asked. Any insurance is to be solely managed by the student. Hence reaching out

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

@insulinforlife Okay. Would you know any diabetes groups in Germany that I could approach with my query? That would be a great help

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

@MDT_Diabetes I understand. Thank you for your response

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

@medtronicindia Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

@t1dfindia any connections or guidance to get this right?

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

@novonordisk I understand. Thank you for your reply. I'll look into the link you've shared.

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

@novonordisk @medtroniceu @radzzzzster Any help with my request to find the right insurance would be helpful @t1international @parthaskar

[Harsh Pandya @McMutton24]

@novonordisk @medtroniceu I'm not sure whom to contact or ask about it anymore. Buying insulin and other medications out of my pocket is the last, but most expensive option. If you know anyone (who knows anyone), then please retweet my plea with them or tag them here. @radzzzzster
