Can I just take a moment to say how amazingly @LAlupusLady is? And how much I love how she decorated this care package for me! I am so lucky to know such kindness 💜
Legislators in #Kentucky, this isn't acceptable. People are dying because of the price of insulin, right here, in KY. Let's start to fix this by passing insulin price transparency legislation to see what is happening with the cost from the list price on down. #insulin4all #kyleg x.com/ohdarkthirty1/…
It happened to my friend, a 50-year-old, fit, active son, father, brother, chef, veteran. He changed jobs to get his insulin more affordably, and the coverage was to start May 1. Meanwhile he rationed. April 22 he was dead of diabetic coma. x.com/sentinasmith/s…
Tweet was deleted?! Ok, @Surgeon_General now we await your apology and correction. And if you want to talk it out, the #DOC is here to educate & advocate. x.com/staceysimms/st…
Is this a parody account? The US Surgeon General thinks people need insulin because they eat fast food? Who wants to explain that EVERYONE needs insulin to live. Some people are lucky enough to make their own. #genius x.com/surgeon_genera…
Thank you for the apology. There are so many misconceptions around ALL types of diabetes, and we’re here to help educate (even the federal government) not only about myths and misconceptions but also about the needs people w diabetes have & the discrimination they face every day x.com/surgeon_genera…
Thanks to all who pointed out how my tweet could have been misinterpreted and actually contributed to stigma. I don’t want anyone with any disease to feel stigmatized- and my remarks illustrate why we must always be cognizant of what we say and how we say it.
Because my remarks were to a medical crowd, I assumed people would understand my example referred to hyperglycemia specifically caused or exacerbated by diet. However many people develop diabetes and/or exacerbations unrelated to diet.
@Surgeon_General Appreciate your apology. Would love to see you use your platform to raise awareness about people living with diabetes and the challenges we face every single day.
Thanks to all who pointed out how my tweet could have been misinterpreted and actually contributed to stigma. I don’t want anyone with any disease to feel stigmatized- and my remarks illustrate why we must always be cognizant of what we say and how we say it.
@Surgeon_General When will you use your platform to make sure there is #Insulin4all in need?
Many different diseases can be caused or exacerbated by behavior and environment. But we should NEVER prejudge anyone’s worthiness to receive medical treatment - whether type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or someone with opioid use disorder.
If @Surgeon_General social media team are wondering why people w diabetes are a bit touchy about fast food tweets it's because people are dying young and going bankrupt from insulin price gouging... but you can't be bothered to tweet about that #FYI #Insulin4all
@Surgeon_General Dear @Surgeon_General - You've not only fueled misinformation that hurts #T1D, but you've also perpetuated a stigma on #T2D PWDs who often don't make "bad choices" but are dx'd with #diabetes anyhow. #BreakTheStigma #DOC -MH
When the headline is so good but the article is so bad #Insulin4all x.com/bopinion/statu…
The scientists who pioneered insulin therapy were so dedicated to making it accessible, they gave away their rights to profit from it. Yet almost a century later, the life-saving diabetes treatment is out of reach for 50 million people. What went wrong? bloom.bg/2LAb1Ez

Why does Medicare cover in-home dialysis, but not insulin, hypertensive drugs, immunization, or lack of health insurance? Because only dialysis appeals to cultural fantasies, med historians say. pensandneedles.org/the-man-hooked… [Image: black/white photo of man hooked up to a machine.]
