The actual answer is for reimbursement, for example if you're buying them for a work meeting or something.

The box of crap was on point

If your body is producing “enough” then you don’t have diabetes, type 1 or 2. That’s where you are incorrect.

I did not imply this. The text you quoted was in response to this:

no… Type 1 = not producing, Type 2 = resistance/not absorbing

That is an incorrect statement as this is not what distinguishes the two diagnoses. A type 1 diabetic who is not insulin dependent (yet) will have a very different treatment profile than a type 2 who is producing the same amount of insulin, but obviously both are not producing enough or they would not be diabetic. Hell, if you tell a doctor you're type 1 they often ask you if you're insulin dependent.

However, type 2 is (generally) characterized by insulin resistance as you indicated.

That seems to be the pattern of your replies here, factual information with a common layman's misunderstanding peppered on top. I took the bait, so that's on me.

Maybe they should just withhold their vote.

My best guess is that the son has no name (it's blank where you might expect the name in the last bit of dialog) because his dad deleted his browser history

I've been following cures like this for years. There are three candidates in phase 2 trials right now that appear to work, they're mostly figuring out the doses needed and there's a big question on how long they last. Hopefully permanent but we don't know for sure.

Diabetics have just been so beaten down by this whole thing. I was told the cure was 10 years away 40 years ago. Even if the technology described here works we could be another 15 years before we see it. Researchers said it could be here as soon as 5 years, which is true if unrealistically optimistic. I believe the cure is coming but I'm not holding my breath until I'm actually in front of a doctor about to receive the cure whatever it happens to be.

Protip: if they mention unions in any way during your interview, you need to be in a union.

As long as they limit the passengers to people with a net worth of 100 million or higher, then I think this should be encouraged.

I think this has as much to do with Google being shit at finding stuff lately as it does llms like chatGPT
