Anyone else on here with Type 1 Diabetes? #t1d #type1diabetes #type_1_diabetes?
I want to expand my network & am enjoying talking on here with other folks who have to deal with this autoimmune disorder.
Plus it's nice to have contacts in case of emergency or needing advice, especially with healthcare in the terrifying state it's currently in.
@eladhen Hey there!
@eladhen Nice to meet you! Unfortunately I do in the fact live in the US, but I'm managing my T1D well enough... My state provides free medical care to my income bracket, so I'm covered for now. ^^
@eladhen I think the difference is that my state (California) has a decent healthcare plan for poor folx, but a lot of other states a) have shitty (if any) coverage, b) don't help people just above the poverty line who still struggle or c) make the healthcare that is available as inaccessible as possible thru limited information and gatekeeping. So... I'm lucky, definitely not everyone is.
