  1. With the amount of money I spend on #T1D every year I could afford to buy 12+ gaming systems.

    And that doesn’t include the 10k I spent on my broken thumb due to a low. 🙃

  2. Bernie at the Senate hearing on insulin and pharmaceutical prices

  3. How about a damn *refund* from Eli Lilly for the $324,000 I’ve spent on insulin in the last 30 years staying alive. You could have dropped the price anytime you vultures. #Insulin4all #t1d yes it should be free. Miss me with your libertarian bs - this is why we have a society.

  4. @ivan when insulin costs $10 a bottle but sells for $300, o reserve the right to call that corporate greed. When they decide to lower the price to $35 (because they totally can) but then call this lowering a “market growth opportunity” that’s greed. It’s also capitalism. The problem is both, but 300-400% markup is just selfish. #Insulin4All

  5. So #EliLilly was able to magically drop the price of #Humalog from $274 to $66. This proves the cost of #insulin was never about recouping costs; rather, it was pure greed. This company saw the writing on the wall because so many spoke out and didn’t stop speaking. #Insulin4all

  6. Only takeaway for me on this $35 insulin story is that the price was high for no reason other than corporate greed. Insulin was always supposed to be free. “Insulin belongs to the world, not to me.” - Banting, inventor of insulin #Insulin4All

  7. This article describes one of my biggest concerns with the #TwitterMigration. Can #Mastodon replicate this type of advocacy and public awareness? I certainly hope it can but it will only happen if enough media and general users make their way here.

  8. If you donate $20 or more, reply to this post with your request. So far we’ve raised $375 and created these gems:

  9. For my birthday, I’m raising funds for Insulin For Life USA, with a fun twist: for every donation of $20 or more, I’ll record a karaoke video of any song you want, no matter how embarrassing!

    As a #Type1 #diabetic, this cause means a lot to me. IFL-USA gives #insulin and supplies to people with #Diabetes who can’t afford the outrageous prices. So help me support a great cause while humiliating myself on social media! #insulin4all #t1d

  10. Woohoo. A1C is 6.8! My doctor wants me hovering around 7 because of heart failure. #Insulin4All #Diabetes

  11. @asep @denvergail yes, the #DOC was particularly active on Twitter and I’m really hoping more DOC folks migrate over and connect. It’s a teeny bit harder to find one another on Mastodon, but as long as we used the right hashtags it should come together. #T1D #T2D #DOC #WeAreNotWaiting #Insulin4All
