Advocating for Type 1 Diabetes Care with Alison Smart! 639
Manage episode 421354957 series 2814753
Alison Smart has a teenage daughter who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes almost three years ago. Her family found that lifestyle modifications, dietary changes and a regimen of daily injections utilizing the basal insulin Levemir enabled her daughter to achieve excellent blood glucose results! Alison’s daughter is an athlete who experiences a typical teenage life with little disruption from diabetes.
However, in November of 2023 Novo Nordisk announced Levemir insulin would be discontinued. This announcement came just months after Novo Nordisk announced they would significantly decrease the price of this insulin.
Alison got to work and joined with others who are also incredulous at the thought of being left with only the option of two other basal insulins or an insulin pump. They created the Alliance to Protect Insulin Choice, started a petition on change.org, compiled a YT video of testimonials, and met with several senators and congressional representatives in Washington DC.
They continue to move forward with their goal of pressuring Novo Nordisk to slow down the discontinuation and produce Levemir until a biosimilar basal insulin is available.
