In Germany, the only copay I ever have is for insulin. This is my receipt from yesterday. 🇩🇪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 Glucagon = 5€ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 10 Levemir pen fills = 10€ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 10 vials Novolog (Novorapid) = 20€ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am so thankful to have lived here for three years and to experience what a successful, non-greedy healthcare / insurance system is like. 🖤 @t1international

Let’s talk Glucagon! 💉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have one? Do you know what it is? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ironically, @t1dchick just posted about this and I refilled my prescription today. So this is your reminder/wake up call to get one! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Glucagon is the only thing that can safely bring your blood sugar back up in case of an extreme low where you’re not able to eat or drink, unconscious. In such situations, food or drink should NOT be given in case of choking. 🚫 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve never had to use Glucagon, but I always have it with me just in case. ☝️

Lancet Change Monday with @t1dchick 💕 ...there’s always going to be a few cheekies who say they change it every time 🙈😂

Did you know that I have a freckle on my thumb and that I only use glucose tabs to treat a low? 😂 Now you know 👌💕

Triple Unicorn 🦄 My definition of a unicorn is 83, the average fasting blood sugar of non-diabetics 👌

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how the move is going from Germany to Minnesota, and here’s an update for you: 🇩🇪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The local rep for helping to signing up for health insurance sent me an appointment invite for 24 September - two and a half weeks AFTER I arrive in the US. ❗️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m not sure what she didn’t understand about the urgency of having a pre-existing condition. So I replied pretty hard. My response is on my blog....anticipation! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyway, all I can think about is arriving at MSP, getting in the car, and having an accident. Even with the smallest of injuries, it could result in medical bills for YEARS. ❗️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I need health insurance for the day I arrive. I’m hoping the US doesn’t disappoint. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link to blog post is in my BIO 👀
