Putting this out there: Prior authorization (and the annual renewals) need to be banned. My #type1diabetes wasn't magically cured. #pbm

@MiriamETucker @HiltonHotels I recently ran into a fee for Hilton Hotels IF you request early check-in upon booking ($35). Never heard of the fee being issued when you are just simply checking in and the room is available!

The Expanding Access to DSMT Act breaks down barriers to care, enabling more Medicare beneficiaries to receive critical diabetes self-management training and resources to manage their diabetes. BIG THANK YOU to @SenatorShaheen, @SenatorCollins, @RepKimSchrier, @RepGusBilirakis!

DPAC Champion Rachel Gartner Clark shares her struggles with anxiety and #diabetes — #anxiety can be natural & rational, but just like Rachel, we still have to work every day to manage its control over our lives.💚

Managing diabetes feels like accounting for a million moving parts at once. Not to mention that highs and lows directly affect a PWD’s physical state and moods too! But therapy, medication, or a combination of both is usually very effective treatment. #MentalHealthAwareness

For those who weren't aware, or not on Facebook, sadly, Katie DiSimone passed away in the early hours of this morning.

This was put on Facebook by her husband.

She touched many lives in the #WeAreNotWaiting community. You can leave your messages here: https://t.co/XOAnMkVqit

Our beloved Katie has passed.

Her memory will always be a blessing & her work on DIY AID has helped countless PWDs and their families.

I have donated in her memory, and hope you will join me.

Thanks to @KateFarnsworth for setting this up.

I wish my dear friend Katie DiSimone could see all the touching posts being written about her from every corner of the globe. She knew what an impact she made but the outpouring of messages has been nothing short of amazing. #missingyou #payitforward #wearenotwaiting.

Best decision of 2022 that’s empowering me in 2023? Easy - @laurenbongiorno’s Risely Health diabetes coaching program. I’m halfway thru & already seeing the impact 💪🏼 #T1D

[Diabetes PAC @DiabetesPAC]

Today, my diabetes turns 19! Fully stuck in the last year of teenage life before full “young adulthood!” Let’s keep raising our voices - we need the advocacy more than ever! #diaversary #type1diabetes #advocacy #access #insulinaffordability

[RGC @NotoriousRGC]

Honored to be a @DiabetesPAC champion and advocate among the fiercest in our community 💙

A #DiabetesAwarenessMonth reminder courtesy of @NotoriousRGC: Life with #diabetes isn't any less full – people with diabetes can thrive in spite of it!

[Diabetes PAC @DiabetesPAC]

From @WSJ: 'Between 2014-18, the share of a hypothetical $100 #insulin... retained by #PBMs has increased by 155%.'
Great insights into the insulin market and the perverse practices of middlemen who won't share their discounts! #DiabetesAwarenessMonth
