This is me, the founder of this organization who woke up from a twisted delirium where I agreed to accepting pharmaceutical funding for my work for #diabetes #disability and healing & pretended it was innocent. It's not. - Marina Tsaplina #T1D 1988 #insulin4all #Medicare4All

@t1international Can't love this enough !!!!!

People living with diabetes all over the world are petitioning their governments for more affordable care, securing media coverage about access to insulin, & marching for the #insulin4all movement...patients will be at the frontline of change. https://t.co/bCmXIbQk5k

Politician Joe Kennedy III says he's going to stop taking insulin makers money. Good. Hold him to this and encourage others of all political affiliations to follow this example! #insulin4all #NoMoreDeaths https://t.co/jCZLR91Ppd

''Debunking the myth of innovation is a step toward protecting the hundreds of thousands of medication-dependent Americans who are being gouged for profits on drugs they likely helped pay to create.'' https://t.co/XM8133Bj43 #insulin4all

Actions like the #CaravanToCanada, said Allison Bailey, U.S. Advocacy Manager for T1International and #insulin4all advocate, are not a long-term solution. "The insulin pricing crisis will only be solved when everyone can access and afford insulin." https://t.co/HvDc3dZ7C7

The #Caravan2Canada of people needing insulin In the US and buying it in Canada was front page here for a week. Some have rightfully asked what this means for Canadian #T1D folks. Here's some points on that below https://t.co/mgROStxbky #insulin4all

“I have had to cancel or change plans more times than I can count… Often the #pain or #fatigue is not noticeable, which makes it hard for others to understand… I don’t want to say no but I have to. If I push through…it can cause a flare.” https://t.co/ZfOb0lXa8I #spoonie #cpp

This 2-year-old's family couldn't afford his $20,000 electric wheelchair, and their insurance didn't cover it. So, a high school robotics team built him one for free ❤️️ https://t.co/t8nF8XTkxO

this diabetic preteen needed insulin but it cost 300 dollars a vial, so her chemistry class used the entire semester figuring out how to synthesize it ❤️ #heartwarming #capitalism

“Although there are occasions when what’s best for patients is the same as what’s best for drugmakers, people should consider patient advocacy group statements with a 'skeptical eye' if groups have financial ties to the pharma industry...” https://t.co/hiGjrGDERa #insulin4all

@lingkohsu @actupny @NYHCampaign @snahp_national @riseandresistny @nycDSA @UptownProg @FightBackBR @HEALNYnow @iacenter @PPAssemblies @RepLloydDoggett Heads up y'all: this a.m @LillyDiabetes announced a '50% priced generic version of their insulin' in response to the relentless activism of #insulin4all. But They think charging $138/ bottle is acceptable on an essential medicine. We won't stop until price gouging is illegal.

@GlucoseDoc Thanks for this. I feel the fragility of my body every day. Biomedical progress is not free despite Medicine's insistence on a heroic narrative. And tweets like this make the need for our plight of #insulin4all that much more egregious.
