Someone please explain Type I diabetes to this man. Eating patterns do not cause T1D.

My God. Herschel Walker said he wouldn’t cap insulin costs because people should just “eat right” instead.

New paper with Teresa Harvey. Short press piece by BU. I’ll do a thread on it once I recover from the week. But proud of this one. Link to paper in this short piece

In the last year, Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans passed a law eliminating ANY permit requirement for guns — and then slashed $211 MILLION from Texas’s mental health budget.

Capping the cost of insulin at $35 a month would help save lives.

A good way to help make this a reality? Passing the Affordable Insulin Now Act.

Thanks to @BNords03 for this nice article! #JoslinDiabetes #BostonMarathon #Joslin #TeamJoslin. Perhaps, it’s time for me to update my BU photos.

@BU_Tweets professor @ProfSomers ran the Boston Marathon for family and diabetes research.

Had an Amazing day completing the 126th Boston Marathon. The crowds were nuts and family and friends came out. Even set a PR.

If you know someone who is diabetic, they should know that 92% of House Republicans just voted against a standalone bill that would simply cap the cost of insulin at $35/month.

@byronprecio Are his initials SG?

@RainaBrands I was a single dad with 3 kids, 2 of whom needed to see the nurse every day (T1 diabetes). The elementary school was able to always call/text me first. But I was also in daily communication with the nurse and often the teachers. It took a LOT of face time to get them to adapt.

@DrKlapperich It’s now a year later. Have kept off most of the Noom pounds, but The struggle is real. Not counting every calorie anymore, but still mentally applying the Noom. I’m not sure that I’ve gotten anything from Noom beyond the first 6 months. But those lessons were valuable to me.

[david somers @ProfSomers]

@DrKlapperich I’ve struggled with obesity since adolescence, often just giving up. BMI > 40. During sabbatical, I made a bunch of changes and was able to drop 75lbs. Then plateaued. Then joined Noom & quickly dropped to BMI < 25 for the first time in 30+ years! Noom lessons taught me a lot.
