T1D since 1980, I'm just here to talk to T1D people.

The food causes diabetes is weird, diabetes has been around for 2250 years, is in more mammals than just humans, and is in all countries. Sort of making diet and exercise is the cause, hard to believe. However, viruses...have been around 10K years, and affect multiple mammals.

I know there is someone out there that knows how to make animal sourced insulin at home. If someone can forward this to that person it would be fantastic, and can that person please share. I know we can save lives, even if we can only save our own. Banting did it, we can too right? Small steps.

Oh gosh this would be great in countries like the USA too.
We loose so many diabetics over here, due to cost and stigma. Making it cheaper would ease both of those burdens.
Thank @msf.bsky.social Keep up the good work.
Ahead of World Diabetes Day on Thursday, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) called on all insulin manufacturers to make insulin pen injection devices available at $1 per pen everywhere, including in low- and middle-income countries.

Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi must make insulin pens available at $1 each
Some 80 percent of people with diabetes live in countries where insulin pens are priced out of reach.
