Good morning everyone. Most exciting interview I’ve had in months today, and I’m throwing up from high blood sugar. Think of type 1s today — those whose ailment is virtually invisible, tritely joked about (your jokes are lazy as fuck), and certainly difficult. #Believe
A word:

The only smart diabetic joke I ever heard was on Veep from Ken Davison: “a misplaced decimal point can kill a diabetic.”

The rest are just “sLoW dOwN eAtiNG tHeRE cHaMp, yOu’lL gEt DiAbEtEs” followed by a laugh track.

There is so much better material out there.
Make fun of insulin’s price, the two companies that set it, the lack of innovation on diabetic treatment in the last 20 years, the socioeconomic gap in treatment, the American healthcare system that sees 26% of diabetics ration insulin...
Good comedy swings up at power not down at people.
