More than 100 million Americans have diabetes or prediabetes, and one vial of insulin can cost hundreds of dollars with insurance. The average insulin price in the U.S. nearly tripled between 2002 and 2013, according to the American Diabetes Association.
Facebook groups like Beyond Type 1 let people post fundraisers to raise money for medication or promote diabetes-related scholarships. Others, like the group “You know you’re a Type 1 diabetic when” offer up emotional support for people living with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
