Last week I had someone comment on a picture of me on FB wearing this sweatshirt and asked; “how is insulin a right?”
It turned into a decently lengthy debate. Their overall goal was trying to understand why we (Type 1 Diabetics) deserve the “right” to insulin that is technically not ours (man-made manufactured)
Having to debate why I believe i have the right to live is mentally exhausting. But also the reality of a type 1 diabetic. It’s never been a position I’ve been in before and it honestly took a toll on me.
However, I can’t get over the thought that this question is potentially running through other minds as well so I feel it’s necessary to share my thoughts on this specific question.
So Heres my reasoning to why I believe that ACCESS TO INSULIN IS A HUMAN RIGHT.
This person needed a very meticulous by the books answer. He wanted facts not opinions nothing along the lines of just being a decent human being and wanting other human beings to live.
“The right to life is a moral principle based on the belief that a human being has the right to live and, in particular, should not be killed by another human being” (in reference to a Wikipedia (!?!) page that he linked about human rights)
There are human beings behind these pharmaceutical companies that make every decision. They are literally killing people because their products (insulin) are either
1. Not made accessible to diabetics around the world or
2. Are so outrageously expensive that people cannot afford it.
Both cases eventually lead to death (us being killed by other human beings (people sitting behind big pharma)) ***Not having the right to life***

We are not exaggerating when we compare insulin to Oxygen for a type 1 diabetic. Without access to insulin we die. Without access to oxygen you die.
So true also add a million test strips all over the floor/bed

Couldn't even count the amount of times people assume I cant eat/drink anything with sugar in just because I am diabetic; when actually, in reality, I couldn't count the amount of times sugar has actually saved my life. Oh the irony.
I will be taking part in @diabetesuk one million step challenge to help raise more awareness of this disease. (Link in bio if you would like to donate to a great cause)
