T1Interational does an excellent job of providing advocacy resources. Its mission of working toward a future where all diabetic patients have access to insulin and all of the other resources needed to live with this disease is one I wholeheartedly support.
I've had Type 1 diabetes for 25 years. Six years ago due to changes to my healthcare, despite having health insurance in the US I was paying list price for insulin and didn't have enough cash on hand to pay for the amount I needed. That is when I learned about T1International and became involved in my local #insulin4all chapter. T1International is the only international org committed specifically to the plight of those with insulin dependent diabetes that doesn't take Pharma money, which makes it the only org that can truly help insure collective action across the globe to change things for the better. Over the years I got more involved and eventually joined the Board so I could be part of their work, and it's always an honor to see their commitment to the community in action!
Everything that T1International does is driven by the values of being patient led and not taking funding from big pharma! They work hard to build community and advocacy skills for people most impacted by the insulin affordability and access crisis. Their integrity and vision are unique and important!
This is the only major diabetes advocacy organization that doesn’t take money from big pharma! They make such a difference fighting for affordable access to insulin and diabetes supplies in the US and around the world!
T1International has given me community, resources, and empowerment that are necessary to thrive as someone living with diabetes. Having a pharma free diabetes organization advocating for patients needs is so essential and rare.
T1international USA is a visionary organization with a clear and uncompromised goal of providing insulin access to all people, worldwide. They are a great organization to support, bringing lifesaving medication to people around the world!
