I'm running a group called Voices in Action - People Living with Diabetes in Global Health. I have type 1 diabetes and want people to stop dying from this condition. Access to insulin is a human right #insulin4all #diabetes #t1d

I'm about to go to a conference on diabetes in emergencies, conflict, disaster.
Have diabetes and ever been in one? Anything you want to share? I've been in earthquake. left the flat in a hurry with all my insulin. Luckily the building stayed up but otherwise I'd been cooked.
Let me know!

Sin taxes is a ridiculous term that public health and #globalhealth should have dumped years ago. Weird to see it keep popping up among VIP speeches

La 4ème Réunion de haut niveau de l’ONU a ignoré les besoins des personnes vivant avec un diabète. Faut-il vraiment en organiser d’autres, s’interroge l’activiste James Elliott.

Not over the frustration that mention of type 1 diabetes + prior committments on diabetes have been removed from the #ActonNCDs political declaration #UNGA80
People with diabetes all over the promo material but we get removed from the Declaration to "streamline" it.

This is a nice study showing that out-of-pocket costs for diabetes technologies are associated with worse HbA1c levels.
I wish there were more granular data on actual costs and affordability instead of just bucketing 'reimbursed' vs 'not reimbursed.'
