I’m not diabetic and the situation with insulin fills me with a white hot rage.

the OOC might be TYPE 1 which is even more dependant on insulin than type 2, because you're pancreas cant make any insulin at all. plus there also other expenses that comes with being type 1. CGM, INSULIN pumps(which are often regularly replaced because they wear out). you can sometimes tell when someones type 1, if they have a device attached to thier arm, its usually a circular button, thats the sensor(its another cost)

I’m sure they’re Type 1. At least with Type 2 you can kind of manage it a little without the meds. The insurance company should be firebombed for refusing to replace the damaged meds.

The sensor is no guarantee. Quite a few low carb dieters use constant glucose monitors (CGMs) to identify which foods they should avoid
