Novolog vs Novorapid. What's the difference?⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ NOTHING. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ The visible differences include: different box size, different package language, and different name. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ What's identical: the manufacturer, the insulin. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ What's criminal: THE PRICE difference. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Insulin in the USA costs 7x more than in Germany. The only true difference between the two vials in the picture is the price. In one country (like Germany), you live like a human being with dignity. In the US, you are price gouged and can literally suffer and die due to not being able to afford insulin. THIS IS REAL LIFE. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ PLEASE, ADVOCATE FOR CHANGE. We need #insulin4all . The only organization that is currently fighting for our lives is @t1international . Please, follow them and see how you can get involved. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #mninsulin4all #t1international #novolog #novorapid #bigpharmasucks #advocate #mnblogger #minnesotablogger #t1dblog #t1dblogger #diabetesblog #mnleg #mnsenate #mnhouse

What if I told you that this bag was made for people with diabetes? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s true! @myabetic makes clutches, purses, and more all designed to carry diabetes supplies - fashionably. 💁‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out my stories right now for the unboxing of this purse, the Amy Diabetes Handbag. I’m geeking out - I absolutely LOVE it 🥰 I’ve been using Myabetic purses for almost 2 years straight now. I don’t know that I’ll ever go back to “normal” purses! There’s something special about how they hold diabetes supplies, yet are so fashionable and made with great quality. 💓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’d like your own Myabetic bag, you can use the promo code “theinsulintype15” to save 15%! 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Technically an #ad ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #myabetic #diabetesfashion #diabetesstyle #handbag #diabetespurse #amydiabeteshandbag #t1dfashion #t1d #mnblogger #minnesotablogger #diabetesblog #diabetesblogger #t1dblogger

My FAV number to see 🥰 Do you have a particular number that you geek out about too? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 83 is actually the average fasting blood glucose of a non-diabetic, so when I see it, I feel normal 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The ultimate UNICORN 🦄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #t1d #letmebe83 #bloodsugar #mnblogger #diabetesblog #diabetesblogger #t1dblogger #cgm #dexcom #t1dblog

If you can't drink coffee black, then you need to try this secret ingredient in your coffee! ☕️⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Swipe to see.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Secret ingredient: @skinnymixes syrup! I drink my coffee with a splash of Skinny Mixes sugar free syrup and either heavy cream or half & half. My FAV syrup is brown sugar cinnamon. This combo leads to predictable blood sugars, not to mention it tastes DELICIOUS. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ You can use "theinsulintype" to save 10% off your online order!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Also, if you go to a coffee shop, you can ask for a Breve. This is a latte made with half & half!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Ditch milk, ditch sugar, ditch the chemical-filled store bought creamers. Gross. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ **I am an affiliate partner, so I may receive a small commission on your purchase. I was not paid to promote this. So just know, I truly appreciate your support & that I would NEVER promote a product that I don’t use or believe in!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #ad #coffee #ketocoffee #mnblogger #minnesotablogger #blogger #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #t1dblogger #t1dblog #type1diabetic #type1life #diabetesawareness #diabetesadvocate #t1d #typeonegrit #skinnymixes #skinnysyrupsquad

I've been eating very low carb for over 1.5 years now, and I haven't looked back. Part of the reason that I find it so sustainable, is that there are SO many incredible low carb options out there, like these Quest chips! ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Once I found these alternatives, life became much easier. I've totally changed my life for the better, rarely even going over 120 mg/dl blood sugar (in fact, that's high for me). Anyway, this post is to help inspire you to make small adjustments that lead to big changes. Like trying these LC protein chips from @questnutrition . 🙌⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ With 5g total carbs or less per bag, what do you have to lose? ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ unpaid #ad ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #WelcomeQuest #OnaQuest #QuestSquad ⁣⠀ #t1dawareness #blogger #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #t1dblogger #t1dblog #type1diabetic #type1life #diabetesawareness #diabetesadvocate #t1d #typeonegrit #mnblogger #minnesotablogger #lowcarbsnack #ketosnack #questchips

Let’s be honest, insulin STINKS 😷 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today a few drops got on my fingers and PEWW! Stinky 😂 It smells so sterile, it reminds me of a hospital. What do you think insulin smells like? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, shoutout to @vialsafeinsulinprotector for keeping my insulin SAFE! I’m terrified of dropping a vial and it shattering (and stinking), but that’s not going to happen with the vial protector 💉 (use code: leah20 to save 20%) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #insulin #t1dawareness #blogger #t1dblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #type1strong #type1diabetic #type1life #type1awareness #t1d #t1diabetes #diabetic #diabetes

Did you play any jokes yesterday? Or did anyone fool you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’d love to hear about it! I didn’t play any jokes, nor did any get played on me.

I am so honored to share my new @americanmedicalid with you guys! ⠀ ⠀ Why? Well, this bracelet helps support and empower women refugees.💓⠀ ⠀ How? The women refugee artisans weave each paracord medical ID by hand. Each purchase directly supports them.⠀ ⠀ @thecommunitycloth and @americanmedicalid partnered to empower refugee women in Houston, TX. For more information on this partnership, and to find a link to get your own bracelet, click the link in my bio! 💓👀 ⠀ ⠀ This is such a great cause. I hope that you choose to invest in a medical ID, not only to help yourself in an emergency situation, but to also help these wonderful refugee women who are crafting them.⠀ ⠀ Side note: I chose to include “insulin dependent” in addition to T1 Diabetes because so many medical professionals do not know what T1 entails. Also, my last name is engraved, but you know, privacy 😂⠀ ⠀ *this bracelet was given to me and in return I am SO willingly spreading the word for this great cause 💓 ⠀ ⠀ #ad #t1dawareness #blogger #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #t1dblogger #t1dblog #type1diabetic #type1life #diabetesawareness #diabetesadvocate #t1d #diabetes #diabetic #typeonegrit #medicalidbracelet #medicalidjewelry #mnblogger #minnesotablogger #empoweringwomen
