This is a sad day. Type 1

Guys gals I just realised that if there is a zombie apocalypse or any other kind of apocalypse in the near future most of us will be the first ones to die because of no supply of insulin. I feel very bad for all my diabetic brethren that we won't have our hero movement of surving a horde with the last resistance of earth. This realisation is really really heartbreaking and no amount of cake would be sufficient to make me feel better. This is a sad day indeed 😔.

I mean, as long as you make it to the pharmacy first, you can at least acquire drugs for euthanasia once the extra insulin runs out.

I had an ethics professor liked to ask what we would do in IRL disaster situations--basically, when would we resort to cannibalism and under what circumstances? I was always like, "I'm dead much sooner than everyone else, please feel free to eat me."

Nah i mean where death is like in every corner why would I need any drugs for euthanasia. And if I do get a cat or a pet I will gladly euthanise myself for them. But no humans, maybe it things were too bad.

I'm with you, I'm just not into being pulled apart alive if I can avoid it.

That my friend I did not think about. A painless death would be something I'd also look forward too.

Not all deaths are equal, it's why death by insulin OD or DKA are off the list.

Well we can always go for cynide extracted from apple seeds. Or rat poison. Or the old jump of the building. Man that sounds dope just skydive of the building without a parashoot 😂.
