Sana in Pakistan says: Access to insulin and diabetes education should be a right, not a privilege, in Pakistan and the whole world.

Tinotenda in Zimbabwe says: In Zimbabwe, insulin is not only inaccessible, but so expensive that an ordinary person tends to ration dosages. It is a big challenge for people who need insulin to lead

Fred in Ghana says: In Ghana it is very difficult to get insulin. It should be available and accessible to everyone…no matter their location.

Tsegamlak in Ethiopia says: Children with diabetes in Ethiopia face serious but preventable health complications due to poor control and lack of understanding and access to medicine.

Yemurai in Zimbabwe says: In Zimbabwe most people can’t afford insulin. It’s something that needs to change.

Erin in the USA says: Access to healthcare is a human right, but many individuals seem to forget that until they are unable to access it themselves. We need access for all.

Irene in Taiwan says: In Taiwan, the level of public education about type one diabetes is low. We have to stand up and advocate for our rights!

Koko in Togo says: Insulin is very expensive and people with diabetes can’t afford it in Togo. We also need more education.

Widney in Haiti says: Access to insulin in my country, Haiti, is very difficult. I would like to strengthen health systems to increase health care related to diabetes.

Natan in Bolivia says: In Bolivia, some of my friends have died due to lack of insulin. There must be laws to support people with diabetes and prevent death.

Cristina in Romania says: In Romania, diabetes can be a challenge because of a lack of technology, discrimination and insufficient test strips. But it can never take away your dreams.

Chipimo in Zambia says: Many people lack knowledge about diabetes in Zambia. Awareness through diabetes education can only work if we unite together as a team.

Hisako in Japan says: Living in Japan I never thought of insulin access as an issue, but in many countries it’s a matter of life or death. We can change this.

Ronaldo in Brazil says: The Brazilian government provides insulin for free, but needs to address problems with access to it, and a lack of educational programs.

Mohamed in Egypt says: For the millions of people living with diabetes in Egypt, we need free insulin, glucose meters, and proper health education.

Moh in Kuwait says: Diabetes is a financial, social and psychological burden on people living with the condition.
