FYI. This is not true. I looked it up. Pillen supports Trump and even opened up the Cornhusker Clink in McCook, Nebraska. It's unfortunate that Pillen is following Trump's lead.

I really like this TikTok that stood out to me about several regenerative ranchers banding together to do something about what Tyson and others large corporations have done to the meat industry. This is a TikTok video-- so, hopefully it's viewable.

It makes people on insulin pumps rethink the technology and it's reliability. What are the pump companies doing to address the issue? Do insulin pump companies consider having a manual mode (I know one does not and I am on it) to address the DexCom and Abbott issues Beta Bionics Tandem?

My insulin pump relies on either one of these cgms. I take a finger poke when in doubt. Sad to see that this is occurring and lives are being lost. There is already a class action lawsuit against DexCom. Now, another one against Abbott?

False lows-- stops insulin from being delivered. False highs can lead to too much insulin being delivered. If a person is already low-- and the cgm reads high-- this can lead to death.

I know many people who voted for Trump this term but also voted for Biden in 2020. I listen to them. I have used the Constitution as my fact checker each time. Many of these people don't know the Constitution. So, I give them a small book on it and say read it. It opens up conversation.
