If you are not already on Twitter, follow these easy steps to set up an account.

All these messages are formatted for Twitter but you are also encouraged to share them on Facebook and Instagram.

2. Retweet the @TheEndoSociety posts and tag your representatives using their social media handles to broaden our reach.
3. Add context by sharing how your patients need support. Mention @TheEndoSociety and add #DiabetesHilDay for other participants to be notified about resharing your messages.

Insulin Affordability

Congress must address #insulinaffordability now. People with #diabetes cannot wait any longer: https://bit.ly/3tbT1ap @YourSenator @YourRepresentative
#DiabetesHillDay @TheEndoSociety

I am meeting with Congressional offices to address #insulinaffordability and accessibility. Take action with me: https://bit.ly/3tbT1ap
#DiabetesHillDay @TheEndoSociety

We recently celebrated #100YearsofInsulin, but it is unaffordable to many people who need it. #Insulin is the “poster child” for the problem of increasing drug costs. Congress needs to address the issue this year https://bit.ly/3tbT1ap
