Damn, 80% of #americans on #insulin have taken out #loans to #pay for it: https://neverleave.substack.com/p/4-in-5.. This is #permanent #lifesaving #medication - it's not as if they use it out of choice...

I checked it in the #shop and all looked good. Got it home and the #carbs were higher than I thought (30g), but I could eat it *really* slowly. Just as I #finish the second bar, I realize that it uses #moltitol #sugar #alcohol which generates a #insulin response, fuck: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/mal.. I'll give the rest of them away.

I remember being in a similar situation myself years ago, where for the entire day I ate half a mini bread roll. Somebody's Mum who was anorexic themself saw this and said "fucking hell, is that all you're eating?". It really is a sickness of the mind.
Huh, some #hackers are looking to release the #process for creating #insulin - removing the power from #bigpharma https://www.freethink.com/shows/just-mig.. Apparently the price of Insulin - literally absolutely life saving for #diabetics - is increasing to the point where people in the #us are having to ration it. Apparently it can be made 98% cheaper in the future.
