Trying to find a way to get insulin without insurance, without paying $600+ month. The discount programs offered by the pharmaceutical companies seem to be scams or generally worthless.

Is it possible/legal/feasible to get it from a Canadian pharmacy cheaper? Does anyone have any experience with this? Trying hard to help someone who’s in a really tough spot and any advice would be immensely appreciated. Boosts also truly appreciated.

The US “healthcare” system is fundamentally broken and it’s killing people.

OUT OF INSULIN! That's no good at all... please chip in to Lucy's need!? #insulin #diabetes #disability #mutualaid #Blackfediverse #easter

Just happened to come across this.

If you already hate wannabe #farright fanboy #GavinNewsom, here's another reason:

In 2023, this pillock VETOED a bill that would cap the price of #insulin to $35/month.

Attn: #T1D folks.

Have you any experience with #fiasp, particularly as used in an #insulin pump? How does it compare to #humalog or #novolog?

I take #novolog via my #tandem #tslim, but I’m finding it increasingly difficult to control my BG as my #gastroparesis grows more erratic over time. I’m wondering if a faster-acting insulin might help, allowing me to NOT bolus until I see a BG rise when my stupid stomach decides to start digesting (sometimes immediately, sometimes 4 hours later).

Durch den Infekt , der nichtmal gross symptomatisch ist, ist der Blutzucker so im Arsch das ich das basal massiv erhöhen musste, wieder zu den Mahlzeiten je KE spritze und trotzdem zu jeder Mahlzeit korrigieren muss…

Morgen dann KE Faktor erhöhen -.- und hoffen ich komme wenigstens in die Nähe des grünen Bereichs …. FML #diabetes #insulin

Efter sonens insjuknande i diabetes tänker jag mycket på vilken beredskap "vi" (Sverige?) har gällande insulinproduktion. Vad händer om det blir krig/kris? Vem reglerar detta, finns det nåt åtagande, läkemedelsverket? (utlagt på kommersiella företag isf antar jag) Kan jag sätta upp en egen produktion ... hur tillverkas insulin

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison who is a DEMOCRAT announced a settlement with Novo Nordisk, securing insulin products for $35 per month in the state for the next 5 years! #minnnesota #mnpol #MNpolitics #uspol #uspolitics #insulin #health #medicine #life #diabetes #freedom https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Communications/2025/01/27_NovoNordisk.asp?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

The flight response in #worms comes at a cost. This study defines a brain-gut pathway mediating this adaptive tradeoff, wherein #tyramine stimulates INS-3 expression in the intestine, leading to systemic activation of #insulin signaling & reduced stress resistance #plosbiology https://plos.io/42Ek3Lz

Dear diabetics: do you know anybody in your life, family or circles who voted for #Trump?

I hope you’re keeping a list of all of them and I hope that you go out of your way to ‘thank’ them for this increase in the cost of insulin and be sure and tell everyone you know that they are the ones who voted for him and voted for this .

If you voted for him, you are getting what you voted for. You have no one to blame but yourself.

In the switch to Humalog, I had pizza for dinner. Pizza is notoriously difficult to bolus for.

I defeated Pizza. My BG stayed in range.

So my 3+ day in range streak continues.

If you’re curious: It had pineapple on it.

Type 1 diabetes develops when the body destroys its own insulin-producing cells.

Using stem cells to replace them could be a way to get around donor shortages and transplant complications. Here’s how:
