    Adt March, i went into Diabetic ketoacidosis and came very close to doing because my insurance company decided, when I was trying to refill my insulin, that I was not insulin-dependant. Then they said I was, but they’d only cover a diff3rent type of insukin. Then I wasn’t insulin-dependant again. This went on for weeks while I rationed my insulin to try to survive.

    I just went a weekend without my blood sugar sensor implant because the same rucking insurance demanded on a preauthorizarion when I tried to refill it. They tried to make it sound like my fault for not knowing they required a preauth. It’s finally ready for pickup today.

    Luigi is my personal hero. These motherfuckers won’t stop killing people until they’re afraid for their lives.

      As a fellow T1D. Please, please utilize your endocrinologists free samples, your local JDRF, or order insulin from Canada. I’ve been in similar situations and it’s awful, but in the US, we unfortunately are at the mercy of an inhumane system. You should hoard supplies like no tomorrow, because you never know when you or friends might need help. I’m sorry you had to deal with that.
