Type 1 diabetic; I rationed my insulin from age 19 to 27 until I finally had a professional job. Then had to pay for insurance AND wait a year for anything diabetic-related to be covered because of the pre-existing condition clause. Today I have peripheral neuropathy because of poor control in my 20s.
Because I live 50 miles from Ontario, I was lucky enough to get insulin from Canada as often as possible. Thanks, Canada! While my own country let me down, you were my True North, Strong and Free!

Being T1 myself, being hyperglycemic for a prolonged period is horrid, but I feel physically sick reading this.
Edit: just reading through some comments here, it seems there are a fair few individuals who think I am an American, I am not.
I'm British and living in The Republic of Ireland.

ShittyLifeTip. Rob a bank. Getaway with it, keep the money. Get caught, prison must supply you insulin. Merica.
