The girl i’m seeing gifted me with this blood sugar recovery box for xmas! I am so delighted! This will bring me so much peace of mind at night. How was everyone’s holiday? How did your blood sugars look? (No shame. I hit the 300′s a few times)
This is called Afrezza. It’s an inhaler for diabetic insulin. That’s right. An inhaler. That means no more needles. It’s only for fast acting insulin, but it could still vastly improve the life of a lot of diabetics.
Imagine having to constantly prick yourself with needles to keep yourself alive, and then suddenly there’s a new product that could change the whole way you live your life for the better.
And here’s the thing: it works. It works really really well. People with diabetes that have been lucky enough to have used it think it’s amazing.
But sadly, it’s probably going to end up as a failure because the pharmaceutical company (a French company called Sanofi) that was in charge of marketing it didn’t care enough to actually try. Not only that, but they made it incredibly expensive so hardly anyone could afford it. Most people have never heard of it, and the way things are going, no one else ever will.
Please reblog this to raise awareness of this product and hopefully get another company to market it. It could change so many lives.
It would change and save my life. If there’s one thing I hate in the top 5 most in this world. It’s the fucking pharmaceutical, money mongering, heartless industry.
Anonymous asked: Hey so I saw your post about saving old diabetes supplies for possible future art projects and wanted to make a suggestion you could potentially make something similar to a glitter bomb full of old diabetes supplies to throw at people who make rude comments/jokes about diabetes
Oh my god…this is the greatest thing I have ever heard bless your beautiful soul!!
