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 😔.

The book One Second After is about an EMP over North America wiping out all electronics. At first no one knows what’s going because the government can’t communicate. Law of the jungle takes over.

Anyway, the main character’s daughter is diabetic and she can’t get insulin because supply chains are wrecked. There is no happy ending for her. Very sad.
