Summary
A zine about rethinking concepts around measuring personal health and divorcing that from capitalism and cisheteronormativity, centered around diabetes, the capitalization of diabetes management, COVID-19 and the looming problem of "surveillance for health", all from queer perspectives.
Zine includes photo examples, journal notes, exercises and activities for readers who are looking to explore alternative methods of health measurement that are less rigid than numbers, which are often used to shame and blame individuals living with diabetes and other medical conditions.
