Someone who can and will build their own is very committed to understanding a great many things. This guy has gone and read what doctors with diabetes have to say because doctors without diabetes are not an adequate source of information for his purposes.

To build one you can sell to anyone who has diabetes (and the money or insurance to cover it) you have to do a lot of "idiot proofing." You can't assume they will keep up with all the information, best practices, etc.

They want it to just work and that's not what you are seeing with the build-your-own crowd.
