Episode 396 - With Cherise Shockley

Previously on Just Talking, Cherise Shockley and I planned to revisit the Insulin Access Workshop hosted by Eli Lilly and discuss the data that fuels much of the conversation around insulin pricing. Then, Eli Lilly raised the price of their insulin 7.8%, a month after hosting a conversation with diabetes advocates about insulin pricing. In the aftermath of these events, Cherise participates in some therapeutic processing of what happened, and what diabetes advocates can do moving forward.
