I recently shared this on my Insta but thought some of the twitter #doc might appreciate it too.

3 things #type1 has taught me…

When The Onion’s reporting is more accurate than the mainstream media’s…..

[type 1 untangled 🌈 @type1untangled]

Very positive news!!!

Did you know?

EACH region of @NHSEngland now has a centre to tackle #EatingDisorders in #T1Diabetes

Much more to do

Yet?
An area which -as a policy- is being looked into @NHSDiabetesProg -with relevant support from professionals of this debilitating condition

Finding my (non waterproof) insulin pump handset in the washing machine this morning is not a good start to the week 🫠

Things that help keep those with #T1D ALIVE:
💙Insulin

Things that Insulin CANNOT be substituted with:
🤥Low/No Carbs
🤥Yoga
🤥 Cinnamon

TYPE 1 DIABETES IS AN AUTOIMMUNE CONDITION NEEDING INSULIN TO SURVIVE

Stop listening to quacks,clowns & charlatans

The insulin manufacturers have poured tons of money into the PR surrounding their price reductions. Meanwhile, there are over 1,000 results for "insulin" on GoFundMe. #insulin4all

“Omg you have to give yourself shots every day? I could never do that.”

Aiight, well lucky for you only hot people get diabetes in the first place.

[Ty Beringer @tyberinger]

The "big three" insulin manufacturers, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi, have all recently announced price reductions. Here are a few answers to your questions:

No, the price crisis isn't over.
No, healthcare isn't affordable now.
No, I'm not grateful to the manufacturers.

[Miss Diabetes @miss__diabetes]

Kinda odd that you keep breaking pharma news, yet have not ONCE mentioned the #InsulinForAllAct introduced by @BernieSanders and @CoriBush. Shouldn't a diabetes non-profit be advocating for #insulin4all?

[Victims of Capitalism Memorial Foundation @t1dialectic]

Bro deleted his original tweet because he got called out by a bunch of diabetes advocates, then retweeted the same thing so he could get a fresh slate of comments after the heat died down. What an absolute disgrace. We all know the truth, Nick Jonas never fought for #insulin4all

[Miss Diabetes @miss__diabetes]

Disappointing for @nickjonas to be on a panel at SXSW to talk about the "burden of diabetes on patients" & not take questions from @NSmithholt12 on the biggest and most devastating issue that is causing people with diabetes to die. Why didn't you want to address #insulin4all?

[syd @sydccarlson]

just a reminder that you might think diabetics don't have it hard but we literally are on the path of death when our numbers go too high or low. and the people we're closest to worry whenever we drive or sleep or even take a walk because our situation can get dangerous so fast

[type 1 untangled 🌈 @type1untangled]

@richarde500 Yeah I wish I’d been put onto carb counting sooner but I also feel like it would have been massively overwhelming!

[type 1 untangled 🌈 @type1untangled]

Thinking out loud here but it’s mad how far #diabetes management has come during my life. In 2005, when I was diagnosed #type1 age 7, I wasn’t allowed to eat anything containing fast-acting sugar and I had to take just 1 injection a day (is novo mixtard even a thing still?).

[Laura Marston @Kidfears99]

Lilly says they’ve been “working to reduce insulin prices” for 7 years. 7 years ago, this WaPo piece by @Carolynyjohnson helped kick off our fight for insulin4all. Lilly is admitting they caved to grassroots pressure 💪https://t.co/pafcORD1vI

@Kenzer24213 Woah that is so bizarre to think about! Really puts things into perspective

[type 1 untangled 🌈 @type1untangled]

@SweeetSamanthaa Seems like such a surreal time to look back on 😂
