Hello. I am brand new to prepping. My husband is a type 1 diabetic for the past 25 years. I was hoping to find any advice or tips I could from other diabetics and preppers for how we can help prepare. Thanks!
Has he tried Bitter Melon? I have heard great things about it, and it can be had in pill form.Hello. I am brand new to prepping. My husband is a type 1 diabetic for the past 25 years.

Man, if someone is able to have a lab with the right equipment and materials to make insulin post SHTF, they will be rich.
Simple really, isolate the human gene responsible for insulin production, insert that gene into E Coli bacteria, and then the bacteria makes insulin. Nothin' to itMan, if someone is able to have a lab with the right equipment and materials to make insulin post SHTF, they will be rich.

LOL... in 'some' SHTF scenarios, money ain't gonna be worth squat!
Yes, for Type 1, the best bet is to stockpile or be ready to liberate quantities of insulin, as well as a means of refrigeration, test strips, monitors, syringes, et cetera, and hope that some vestiges of medical science survive which can produce more.
Well I can't cure major health issues, but I've gotten pretty good at making good wine! That ought to help keep me alive for a while . So far I have 80 gallons in the works, and have about 25 or 30 more gallons of grapes in the freezer when I have the containers freed up after bottling.Money is merely a representation of wealth. True wealth is having the ability to "buy" whatever you need or want. In this case, if you were a producer of this, you could demand just about any payment for it, which you could then trade for whatever you wanted, if it wasn't the right item.
Granted though, such a producer and seller would only emerge after things quieted down, and they'd be few and far between, and likely part of a larger trading community I'd imagine. Think about it, an entire community of Type 1 diabetics, all exchanging their goods and services for the thing only you can make. They'd protect you, feed you, house you, get the materials you need, as well as get you anything else you'd desire, just to keep you producing. And, they can't kill you and take it from you, because the know-how is why they need you! Hail to the King baby.....LOL.
