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 😔.

Actually, the way the Zombie Virus attacks is through the pancreas to hijack insulin production to send the virus through out your body. However, without insulin production the ZV simply restarts your pancreas curing all T1s and making them resistant to future ZV infections. Congrats, we'll all be superheroes!
