how long you've been using a medication does not make you an expert, or even knowledgeable about it.

He is right. Humulin is clearly the better choice acts faster. R is the old school choice that works.
Question is why does the better choice cost so much more and BTW the better choice has been around for DECADES. How long do a manufacturer need to recoup their investment and what dollar amount is deemed excessive?

I'm not saying he's right or wrong, I'm saying that doing something for a long time does not make you knowledgeable about it. You could have been doing it wrong

Do you have a cell phone or flatscreen TV? Maybe work harder and you can afford to pay for your own medication, we don't want this country turning into Venezuela.

He obviously has a computer or phone unless he's posting from the public library. Guess he just can't make responsible decisions, wants government to help him afford his meds. What a moocher.

Seriously. Private industry should be left alone to do anything they want, they should be able to exploit health issues as much as they want for as much as they want. This is America! Telling business what to do is communist, and so is asking them to be altruistic in any way (current argument of a chunk of the GQP now on when it comes to clean energy for example)

And yet, BA still doesn't understand that this is exactly what he votes for. The conservative brain just can't process that actions have consequences when it is counter to their emotions. We see it it as s lack of critical thinking when it is probably more a question of supressing logic so they don't need to accept new ideas. For example, the Republican party is preventing legislation that can help the common person and doesn't give a shit about you. It just does not compute.

Fuck em. I guess cat food is relatively cheap.
My research indicates it could control diabetes too. Meow, meow...
 
Person A - My car insurance is too high

Democrat - "The Insurance industry should be regulated to insure they are not using mathematical models that unfairly target specific groups based on things like credit score or the racial makeup of the insured. We should also pressure manufacturers to insure that designs factor in cost to repair to help reduce exposure to insurance.....etc etc etc"

Republican - "The government should subsidize insurance on Dodge Rams, specifically the Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie in quad cab. In Red. The one with the blue lives matter sticker and my sweatshirt in the driver seat. You know who likes to cause accidents? Illegals. And Blacks. Here, watch this youtube clip of this big black guy running from a scene of an accident. Did you know that frivolous lawsuits are probably a big reason for high car insurance? Watch this Ben Shapiro video where he shows how we should be asking about why is it that Mexicans and Blacks can sue whites but we can't ask the question if Blacks can force critical race theory on kindergartners, how come Illegals hate jews? Did you know that blacks hate Jews? And Asians.. Maybe if illegals didn't drive illegally then rates wouldn't be so high. You people are mean in here. Thats why I don't like talking to you. Its a big circle jerk of...."

Type 1 is an autoimmune disease.

Autoimmune diseases are not caused by immunodeficiency. They are related, as in they are both caused by similar or the same genetic traits. If you have an immunodeficiency, you are more likely to have an auto immune disease. Just like if you have one auto immune disease, you are more likely to have or develop an immunodeficiency or more auto immune diseases. Because you have active genetic traits making you susceptible to these pathologies.

Unless you're admitting you have HIV/AIDS. In which case it's not the immunodeficiency, but the havoc that it wreaks on your immune system, particularly when you are treating HIV.
