  1. A blunt question: if your medication ran out, how long would you realistically last?

    Not the movie version. The real math—counting pills, stretching doses, guessing how far you'd get.

    I ran that math after my Type 2 diagnosis—and spent years watching the genre overlook people like me. Chronic illness is usually a death sentence or a disposable plot device.

  6. A Tuesday question worth sitting with: if your medication supply ran out, how long would you realistically last?

    For diabetics like me, it's a count of days. For many others, weeks. For some, the supply is the deadline.

    That uncomfortable math is why I wrote yesterday's post on chronic illness in apocalyptic fiction—and why my latest novel opens with a man hunting for insulin as his blood sugar climbs. No miracles, no easy outs.

  10. New on the blog: "Finding Diabetes in Post-Apocalyptic Fiction."

    I've loved apocalyptic fiction for decades, but as a diabetic, I've looked for myself in the genre and rarely find it. Chronic illness is usually a death sentence or a disposable plot device. In this post, I dig into that gap—and how my novel Have Yourself a Post-Apocalyptic Christmas fills it.

  11. New post, hot off the press: "What Happens After the Pharmacy Runs Dry: Finding Diabetes in Post-Apocalyptic Fiction."

    I've been a fan of the genre since Romero's dead trilogy, but as a diabetic, I've spent decades watching the genre overlook people like me. In this post I talk about why that absence matters, the short film Type 1 and its gut-punch ending, and why the hero of Have Yourself a Post-Apocalyptic Christmas remains a diabetic to the very end—no deus ex machina allowed.

  12. The Open Insulin Project

    "We’re a team of biohackers with a variety of backgrounds, and skills, and relationships to insulin and diabetes from many cities and countries around the world, including Oakland, California; Baltimore, Maryland; and Paris, France. We’re working to develop the first practical, small-scale, community-centered model for insulin production to make insulin accessible to all. We are working towards the goal of communities in need having local sources of safe, affordable, high-quality insulin, and where diabetics and their communities can own and govern the organizations that produce the medicine they depend on to survive."
