America is KILLING people who could easily still be alive today. Insulin should cost the same as a bottle of water or less. It is JUST as necessary for a Type one diabetic. We’d live longer with insulin and dehydration than we would from water with no insulin. #Insulin4all
What if you had to PAY for EVERY BREATH of oxygen that you take?
Imagine not having enough money to breathe, even though there’s a SURPLUS of air around you.
Insulin is JUST as important as oxygen for T1D.

Today is World Diabetes Day. For most of you who are Type 2 or borderline, YOU HAVE A CHOICE to be that way or to change your lifestyle and no longer be diabetic. Please don’t take that luxury for granted. Hopefully one day a cure will be released and I will have a choice too.
Insulin is like water for people w/ diabetes. Imagine if someone cornered market for water & hiked prices 300%. So it is w/insulin. Insulin prices are driven by an oligopoly--3 companies have cornered market. We need to break their stranglehold. https://t.co/4z5wzOwFeh
The scientists who discovered insulin never intended the drug to be a profitable venture. Today, an oligopoly (Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, Sanofi) controls the multibillion-dollar insulin market. https://t.co/xcZurFWZ3v
