Diabetes isn't a problem that we need technology to solve. Sure it could help, but that's treating the symptom, when what we really need to do is use preventative care to treat the root of the problem - corn subsidies and education.



There are more than one million of Type 1 diabetics in the US alone, like the man mentioned in the post (Scott Hanselman). How would those measures improve their life?


Type 2 diabetes, yes. These very valid points you make are not related to Type 1 diabetes, however.


the most annoying part about being a type I diabetic is hearing people who haven't even looked up the basics of the disease rant about diet or corn.
