@gltrax1: Same disease. Different door. 🦎 A new Vox episode — "The Untold History of Diabetes and Black Americans" (Kahlil Explains, Nov 11, 2026) — lays out a gap that's been hiding in plain sight: about 12% of Black adults in the US have diabetes, compared with about 7% of white adults. Yet a Yale review of 26 studies covering 14.6 million patients found Black patients were about 20% less likely to be prescribed the newer diabetes drugs, including GLP-1s. This isn't about willpower or who wants it more. It's about who the system lets through the door — insurance, regular access to care, and a history that goes back a century. I fought my own insurance for three months to get my prescription. Nobody should have to fight that hard for care they qualify for. These are decisions for you and your doctor — not a lizard on the internet. But the numbers deserve daylight. If you've hit a wall getting coverage, you're not alone. What did the wait look like for you? 👇 Share this with someone still in the paperwork line. Educational info, not medical advice — talk to your doctor about your options. #GLP1 #GLP1Journey #HealthEquity #InsuranceSaga #GLTrax #GilaMonster
