There is nothing natural that people can do to fix Type 1 diabetes. It is due to a genetic mutation. We’re pretty much the shitty X-Men.

I don’t pretend to know about healthcare for every country in the world; I just know about where I live and how it could effect people here.

See, just because YOU don’t see an immediate functionality improvement doesn’t mean that they were wrong.
If these features are able to help out medical costs for a lot of people, they will help out others, who don’t care about the feature, with the cost of their medical care.
I am also basing these benefits on people living in countries where you have to pay for healthcare.

It is related to the cost of medical care which is medically related.

Looking at this from strictly a numbers perspective:
Diabetics are fucking expensive for insurance companies to cover. If this helps diabetics control things better, that leads to diabetics being less expensive to cover, which leads to lower premium pricing for everyone.

If this can accurately monitor my blood sugar, my medical costs would go from $1,000+ every single year to a single watch payment. That’s pretty beneficial to me.
That doesn’t even include that it would take away the process of inserting and removing the thing every few days like I have to with my current device.

Not when you’re talking about money.
