✨️🩵 World Diabetes Day 2023:

Everyone living w/diabetes & using #insulin should have access to the drugs & devices they need.

We all live with diabetes differently.

[Rebecca Redmond @RebaRedmond]

Gentle reminder: you can live with diabetes & NOT celebrate NDAM.

There is nothing about living w #chronicillness that obligates you to raising awareness.

There is nothing about living w #diabetes that obligates you to share your story & experiences.

PLEASE remember this.
1/3

[Rebecca Redmond @RebaRedmond]

#NDAM is an opportunity to raise awareness & highlight life w diabetes but for some, it can be overwhelming to see your feeds flooded w diabetes while your life already is.

PLEASE be gentle with yourself this month & mindful of those who prefer to watch it slip by quietly.

@RebaRedmond On CBC Radio's Afternoon Drive, she explained that many people - like her - struggle with the high costs of medication even though they currently have a drug plan.

It's not enough to talk about the uninsured, she said. We need to revamp the whole system.

@RebaRedmond On CBC Radio's As It Happens, she called on the Liberals to fulfil their pharmacare promise.

"A national public drug plan would expand access to medications for everybody...It would be such a shame to squander this tremendous opportunity,"

@Type1Hurdles @BantingHouse Ever so grateful for the connection we made & love how our families have grown over the years. One day, we'll do it all again. 💙

You see the black and white photos of kids with type 1 diabetes dying from ketoacidosis but unfortunately you could take colour photos of kids dying from ketoacidosis *today*.

"We hear a lot about the insulin crisis in the U.S... we assume that it isn’t happening here. That couldn’t be further from the truth"

Great piece by @RebaRedmond on the urgent need for #Pharmacare in Canada

We heard from @RebaRedmond, relative of Frederic C Banting, co-discoverer of insulin. She has Type 1 diabetes, and shared about her dual struggle of managing blood sugars and managing the cost of insulin and equipment.
