This is a sad day.

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 thought this through a long time ago.

Since you can’t just stockpile insulin (even kept cold will eventually expire)…

The only real way is if you’re a hard core prepper with enough land and keeps pigs and learns the methods to extract insulin.

And assuming that unlikely (for most of us) possibility…

…now you’re stuck and can’t be mobile as you now have a “farm” to manage which then makes you a target for your resources. So, then you also have to have a small army and an arsenal.

Ain’t nobody got time for that!

The best hope is one of these medical advances happens before such time. 😎

That is a possibility I did not think about. Well guess now I'm gonna watch a 4 hour documentary on how to extract insulin ¯⁠⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

But yeah seriously let's just hope the stem cell therapy thing clears all the trials and stuff cause no one deserves this condition and watching their sugar and taking insulin and everything that comes with this condition even after being perfectly healthy. It sucks even though we get used to it but it just sucks. And I want my hero moment damn it. I wanna throw a rocket launcher in the horde and pick my chainsaw and just go ham on some zombie corpses.
