I just wanted to share this amazing little Diabadass, Whitley! 💙 Her Mom sent in this picture of her wearing the "Diabetic Cat Demands Affordable Insulin T-Shirt!" Isn't she gorgeous? From her Mom - "Whitley is 10, and was diagnosed June 16, 2014, just after her 5th birthday... Image
She’s always been really self-conscious of being different, but we’ve had such amazing support from friends and her school, and that makes it easier...
Having a shirt that helps impassion her definitely does normalize things for her because it reminds her that she’s not alone, but it reminds everyone else that she is just like so many others." #type1diabetes #diabetes

During the presidential debate yesterday @realDonaldTrump made a false claim about the price of insulin. He said “I’m getting it for so cheap, it’s like water.” I think millions of people living with diabetes in the U.S would disagree. #diabetes #type1diabetes
If that were true, there would be no need for people to ration insulin, no need to advocate for affordable insulin, no one needlessly dying because they couldn’t afford their diabetes medication. Here is what it would be like if water was the same price as insulin ($300 for 10ml)

On the 29th July 2019, Bernie Sanders went to Canada with diabetics to buy cheap insulin. Image
There is an insulin affordability crisis happening right now in the U.S. Those living with Type 1 Diabetes CANNOT live without insulin. It is NOT an optional medication. Image
Diabetes doesn’t just affect those who live with it, but their families and loved ones as well. Image
