a study was done at stanford university in 2014 that found type one diabetics have to make 180 health-related decisions each day. that’s about one every five minutes we’re awake. and these decisions could be between life and death. sounds dramatic but it’s true. it’s exhausting
Insulin costs less than $5/vial to make but is priced at $300/vial, only in the US.
Without insulin, 7 million Americans die quick, painful, certain deaths.
Type 1 diabetes is unavoidable.
Type 1 diabetes is incurable.
Nothing I did or didn’t do caused me to develop insulin-dependent diabetes at 14 years old.
Nothing I do now will cure it or my need for exogenous insulin to survive.

Pray for our country. Pray for our small business owners. Pray for the agriculture community. Pray for the blue collar workers. It’s in Gods hands now.
