melbee1961, I am so very sorry to hear about your daughter's death. Big Pharma is nothing but criminals robbing AND KILLING US AND OUR FAMILIES by charging RIDICULOUS PRICES for medications we need to survive! Hard-working low to middle class people fall between the cracks to get any kind of help with their out-of-pocket costs. They can charge whatever they want...and, they do! They will never allow cures for any diseases because the fat pigs would lose MULTI-BILLIONS of $ every year. They need to be dismantled and drained from the swamp!

very important to distinquish type 1 from type 2. 1 pancreas produces no insulin. my daughter died 2 mos ago after 25 yrs of struggling with 1. insulin and pump supplies way too expensive. big pharma sicks

missy189, we're lucky in England. Diabetes is classed as a life threatening illness and so get it free.

I know this because I have chronic pancreatitis. When I was first diagnosed, they thought that I was going to die so I spent about a month in a Hospice facility. Thank God I'm still alive and kicking 😀

missy189, I agree. I have illness that causes my body to attack my nervous system. Just ONE of my prescriptions costs more than $8000 every month. . . not because of R & D, production costs, or anything else rational, quite the opposite.
The reason my medicine costs so much is that courts have determined there is there is nothing proprietary about it at all, so its patent will expire in 2020.

My grandmother had pancreatitis right before she died. In the end she wasted away to almost nothing. It's a shame when our organs stop working and turn on us.
GrandmaTanya
Montana Lady, I'm so sorry that you are having such a horrible time getting meds that you really need. I'll keep you in my prayers

missy189, it is called the divided states of disgrace and failure. Unchecked ruthless capitalism, open boarders, homelessness, mass shootings, drug over doses, low life expectancy, and money and profit before human life.. this is why the United States is in decline and being judged accordingly. Did I mention legalizing same sex marriage ? Ahh yeah that is an abomination. Need I go on ? Ahh how about failure on every level greed. International disgrace. Break time

missy189, The only drug that keeps people with Myeloma alive is Revlimid which is 365000 a year. You could get this drug cheap before cure wAs found. My medicare co payment with Medigap is 26500 a year. i make 31000 a year. There is little bits of help through foundations like 7000 a year which allows me to eat.

Pancreas is known as a heterocrine gland because it's both exocrine and endocrine. It's exocrine because it releases enzymes like trypsin, lipase etc. and it's endocrine because it releases hormones like insulin and glucagon for the regulation of blood sugar level.

Unknown to a lot of people, Bayer corporation is owner of quite a few other drug companies. Bayer sets the price on your most needed drugs. Bayer also created and sold the Krylon pellets to create the cyanide gas to kill over 6 million Jews during the world wars. Bayer still has secret meetings at their big corporations in a secret room with their achievements i.e. pellets, and other drugs that they know kill Americans and others.
