dying of diabetic ketoacidosis can be either a quick or slow painful death. it is the worst pain I have ever left in my lifetime and could be prevented for diabetics in Gaza if Israel allowed them to get insulin but they aren’t. DON’T STOP TALKING ABOUT THE GENOCIDE !!!!!!!!
right after I was discharged from the hospital after almost dying from DKA & being a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic, I was forced to pay $274 for a vial of insulin. I cried my eyes out so much at CVS right after paying. I hope no diabetic in future ever gets to experience this
ITS DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS??? ITS TIME FOR A HOT AND SEXY DIABETICS THREAD !!!! I WANNA SEE ALL MY HOT SEXY DIABETICS OUT THERE OF ALL TYPES YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING !!!!!
dr: how long have you had diabetes?
me: almost 6 years
dr: so what did you do to get diabetes?
me: I have type 1
dr: oh so you were born with it?
me: no I was 19 when I was diagnosed but started experiencing symptoms when I was 17
taylor swift told me that she thinks insulin should be free for all types of diabetics and that no one should die because they can’t afford their insulin
diabesties, please don’t ever beat yourself up over complications you may have. no matter what anyone says, it is not your fault and never will be. this disease is HARD AF and you’re still out here surviving through it all !!! I am soooo proud of all of you !!!!

look OP said it gives them the ick when someone starts eating in a store and I’m just telling y’all why some people eat in the store. most people who are sick don’t look sick sooo how can y’all tell the difference between someone who needs to eat and someone who don’t??
living with diabetes is such a traumatic experience and most people laugh and joke at this godawful disease every day. if you knew what it’s like living with diabetes you wouldn’t be laughing

recently added insulin pens for children to the list of prohibited items that are not allowed into

and he does not know why. He adds that other medicines for chronic illnesses are also not
diabetes literally makes NO sense. you can get high blood sugar from waking up, crying , literally doing anything. you can have ketones when your blood sugar is perfectly normal. getting low blood sugar from brushing your teeth. the game was rigged from the start !!!!!
Important update on Humalog® and Insulin Lispro availability:
Lilly Diabetes announced that 10ml vials of Humalog® and Insulin Lispro are or will be temporarily out of stock at some pharmacies through the beginning of April. (1/3)
israel banned insulin from entering gaza and now people are dying from lack of insulin. how sick can you be to want to see them suffer in every way possible.
insulin4all means INSULIN FOR ALL not just for type 1 diabetics !!!!! everyone deserves a chance at living not just people with a specific type of diabetes. we need to advocate for ALL diabetics
one time an endocrinologist refused to write me a prescription for insulin because I am not a thin, white person. the inaccessibility of insulin is 100% a race issue too
diabetes is so demonized that people think diabetic children don’t deserve to have have access to the medical devices that are designed to manage and help save their lives 24/7. they really don’t care whether diabetics live or not, even our diabetic children
diabetics please don’t let the fear of high blood sugar stop you from eating what you want. I completely understand the fear but we have diabetes and high blood sugar is gonna happen no matter what. you deserve to enjoy things too 🥺
I don’t think the grief of my diabetes diagnosis will ever end. I did lose a huge part of me the day I was diagnosed and my life was never the same after
diabetic ketoacidosis. you can’t breathe. your blood is literally acid. all your organs are slowly shutting down. it is not fun and I was very close to death
I’ve done a thread like this before I think but what is THE WORST pain you have EVER experienced?
For me: labor, gallbladder attacks, spinal headache, and teeth that needed root canals are some of the highest pain levels I’ve ever had.

Type 1 diabetes is not preventable.
Type 2

is often preventable through a healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight & avoiding tobacco use.
Diabetes can be different for everyone - every lived experience
bro I am tired of changing my insulin pump. I am tired of giving myself shots. I am tired of always having to check my blood sugar. I am tired of all the blood sugar fluctuations. I am tired of it all. I seriously can’t believe this is gonna last the rest of my life
“he believed it unethical to seek profit from a discovery destined to save countless lives. ‘Insulin belongs to the world, not to me,’ he said”
now insulin is sold for $300+ a vial in the US causing diabetics to ration their insulin which could result in a painful death.
In 1922, a team of scientists visited Toronto General Hospital, where wards housed numerous diabetic children.
Many of these children were in a comatose state and on the brink of death due to diabetic ketoacidosis.
As a result of the amount of deaths, scientists moved swiftly
as a T1D, I 100% support T2Ds getting access to insulin pumps. some of them are completely dependent on insulin just like us T1Ds. they deserve insulin pumps as much as we do. they’re not faking their diabetes to get an insulin pump. their quality of life matters too
idk how any diabetic could support nick jonas especially since he is completely silent on the insulin crisis but takes pharma money anyway. he’s not even good diabetic representation in general…
they tortured a diabetic palestinian man for over a month by withholding his medications and feeding him sweet jam. yeah they are some evil people. my heart goes out to mohammed
Ima gonna be that person but if you’re stealing medications intended for diabetics when diabetics can’t even get access to it, you deserve your self induced gastroparesis or whatever else comes as a result for abusing this drug. all cause you wanna be skinny
if you’re a diabetic that’s been in DKA how can you stay silent on Israel withholding insulin from Gaza? you know what it feels like to endure that torture and you chose to stay silent when it comes to brown diabetics’ pain and suffering
“insulin4all” in your bio but when it comes to issues black and brown diabetics around the world face, you are now silent on the issue. yes we see and hear you.
In 1922, insulin co-discoverer Frederick Banting refused to profit from the discovery & offered it to the world as a global public good.
Today, many people with
#diabetes
still don't have access to affordable and quality treatment and care.

my heart is so broken right now. I hate living in a country where they allow diabetic babies to die because parents cannot afford their child’s insulin. this baby deserved to live a full and happy life but it was ripped away from her because of pharma and government greed.
My Baby La’Maiya Asia Remance Gained Her Wings At 5:16 Am Yesterday Morning💔💔💔💔 Our Healthcare Failed Her & I Refuse To Let This Go Unnoticed please help us spread awareness to this tragedy!
