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 recommend reading “One Second After”. It is a post apocalyptic book where one of the main characters is a T1. It addresses the complexities for producing insulin.

I knew someone else had at least taken a stab at this in these self-publish happy days.

There’s also “Alas Babylon” and “Lucifer’s Hammer” which have characters that are T1. The reality is that without modern technology, we’re in trouble but without modern technology, everyone is in trouble so it isn’t something I’m too worried about. Especially since so much is outside my control.
