I relate most with bio-dome. Health care second because of my Wife's type 1 Diabetes.
T1D here. Love having to be exceptional or in poverty to make enough money to eat. No average diabetics allowed.
I just can't believe how difficult insulin companies make it to have a closed loop system to automatically deliver or stop delivering insulin based on glucose level. I do know that there is open source code on the internet to make that work using a GCM, but it requires an older device, Apple Software, and an understanding of coding that I do not have yet.
Shout out to separate deductibles for the tubing supplies.
I wouldn’t trust myself to maintain an open source system. Pretty wild this shit isn’t free. Like do we deserve to be alive or not?
