Take Action for 100 Years: From Gift to Greed

#insulin100 #AdvocateDontCelebrate

This year marks the 100 year anniversary of the discovery of insulin. T1International is not celebrating this centenary because millions of people worldwide cannot access or afford it. Insulin was meant to be a gift to the world but has become a posterchild of pharmaceutical industry greed. We share some ways you can Advocate, Don't Celebrate below.
