29 years ago today, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 14 years old. I will always remember my first two thoughts upon being told I must inject insulin for life to survive: 1) my life will never again be the same; 2) I need a cigarette 😂🤣 The more things change…..

Getting to hang out with great friends hits different when you only get the opportunity every 3-4 years. And yeah, your eyes don’t deceive you. That pic shows 2 diabetics at Toothsome’s Chocolate Emporium. We’re shattering misconceptions and exhausting our insulin pumps.

The latest Barbie slays in a chic blue polka-dot crop top, ruffled miniskirt, chunky heels and an insulin pump. She is the brand’s first doll with type 1 diabetes. cnn.it/44C6V94

Happy Sunday!

I should add, she has had a lower limb amputation (in her 70s) but otherwise is complication free.

Leaving the dispensary today, I accidentally backed into another car. The woman, a 60-something with a hippie vibe, hopped out of her SUV, said “no damage here! You?” Me “I’m not even worried about it.” Her: “well then let’s get the FUCK out of here!”

Yesterday evening, my brother-in-law, Steve, passed away from pancreatic cancer. He was 46 years old. Fuck cancer and fuck a pancreas. Seriously. Rest easy, bro. We love you forever. 💔

Unfortunately now it’s just an EO which doesn’t have much power to change things. Here’s hoping the bully pulpit gets Congress to act (not holding my breath)

My endo at Johns Hopkins said Admelog has been proven to not work the same in the body as Humalog. We’re talking insulin here - Let’s not pretend It’s advil vs ibuprofen. I get what you’re saying but respectfully disagree that insulins, even biosimilars, are easily interchangeable.

Laura Marston @kidfears99.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
Aha! Thats why he doesn’t want me on it - it doesn’t act exactly the same as Humalog. Thanks for the info, werewolf!

What the fuck is Admelog? My doctor told me he did NOT want me on that ish (not sure why).

My PBM processed this year’s insulin Prior Authorization without my involvement!!!!! Just got a letter that says I’m approved for Humalog for another year!!! Follow me for more tips on how to publicly shame insurers and PBMs into jumping through their own unnecessary hoops 🤗
