Diabetic clinic meeting – Doctor switching me to Lantus from NPH, once in the evenings. I start it tonight.
~~
Looking up Lantus and what I need to know about it.
It is more efficient at stabilizing but it’s more expensive so of course, people aren’t started on it first thing. The doctor had to put in a ‘special authority’ submission so I can get coverage for it. So stupid. I don’t understand why people that need meds to live have to pay for them??! It’s not like it’s a choice. I feel like I’m sometimes ‘hardening’ towards ‘healthy’ people. “Oh? Your life is so hard? Now be your own pancreas and do that! Fuck you! ”
And I know that’s terrible to say- everyone has their own problems and journey and pain. I really do try my best to be compassionate and remember that we’re all going through our own thing.
