PLEASE STOP STOP STOP SPREADING THIS IMAGE WITHOUT CONTEXT.
these insulins are Regular and NPH insulin, NOT fast-acting like Humalog or Novolog and long-acting like Lantus and Basaglar. If you don’t use these properly, you can still die or end up hospitalized.
if you attempt to switch to R insulin on your own, YOU MAY VERY WELL DIE. they DO NOT work the same way as fast-acting insulins. You need to consult with a doctor ideally, or if you can't do that, RESEARCH THE SHIT OUT OF THESE INSULINS AND THEIR EFFECTS.
I took R insulin for several years as a very small child before fast-acting insulin was created, and the way you eat is STRICTLY regimented. you can’t just shoot some R insulin and go ahead and eat like you can with humalog. my blood sugar levels were frequently anywhere between 40 and 300 (normal is 100-120 for a diabetic) on R and NPH, which is dangerous and causes long-term damage
here is a tragic story of a man who switched to relion R insulin and died because of it: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/08/09/man-dies-otc-insulin/1942908001/ – from 2019
The fact that diabetics are having to use 30+ year-old insulin because we can’t afford modern insulin is a fucking travesty.
These insulins are not miracle alternatives; they're a last resort.
Every diabetic who dies because of insulin rationing or because they had to switch to R and NPH insulin is blood on the hands of pharmaceutical execs and the government.

People in my era complain about replicator food, but from my perspective being able to provide folks with food allergies/intolerances/illnesses delicious options guaranteed not to aggravate their conditions is an amazing medical achievement. Wish I could give you one. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked

Getting diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and doing the bare minimum required to not go into a ketonic coma or lose a foot doesn’t make me “brave.” It doesn’t make me “a warrior.” I want to punch a wall whenever anyone says that shit to me.
