Some might call this a stretch for a “Funnies” column, but hey — we can either laugh or we can cry, right?
Life in the Chronic Financial Fast Lane from our fave type 1 artist Haidee Merritt:
Yeah, yet another way that life with diabetes is all about the numbers.
Excellent point, Amy. I’ve had enough with high numbers lately: 103º here in New Hampshire yesterday.
SO true!!! I was just saying how insulin went from about $20 a bottle without insurance when I was 18, to $140 currently here in the US. Not good news for anyone un-insured, and even WITH insurance, it can be very expensive. Great cartoon as always!!!
You can’t be a diabetic without health insurance! This is a VERY important topic. Thank you for bringing light to a very serious issue! Well illustrated!
Or for us it’s the entire tank of gas it takes to visit the endo 200 miles away!
Brings to mind the little devil and angel on my shoulders…
Well said!
