Please take time to meet with the non-pharma-funded, unaffiliated patients who brought this to the community’s attention. We are woefully underrepresented by orgs like @AmDiabetesAssn. It is important our voices aren’t silenced. #Insulin4all
Thank you to @AmDiabetesAssn and the diabetes community for your thoughtful feedback. I appreciate the opportunity to work together to broaden the understanding of the challenges faced by people living with diabetes. #BreaktheStigma

Why is identical insulin in Germany 90% (ninety %) cheaper than in the US? Because Germany has negotiations between industry and insurances/sickness funds and a controlling joint federal commission missing in the US? Important question by a physician, please answer.

@JDRF &@BeyondType1 for the very specific issues for those with T1D. Plus also with BT1 who are the only organization to tackle the unacceptably high diagnosis rate of people in DKA, leading to ICU or deathThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

And please don’t compare Diabetics Type 1 or 2 with opioid addicts. Insulting. You make treatment available to addicts for free, and do nothing to control the outrageous cost of insulin these kids need to stay alive!

Actually we’d rather not be. It’s called advocacy & education.

Does anyone know if
@AmDiabetesAssn really is in fact influenced by big pharma money as was suggested by@wthfilm documentary? -
Absolutely they are. You'd think one of the largest diabetes orgs would be leading the charge on insulin pricing. They aren't because they take donations from pharma
