Re:Diabetics applaud. (Score 1)

In a type one diabetic, that's true - the body does not produce enough insulin, and therefore cannot untilize carbohydrates by turning blood glucose into fat. But for the vast majority of type 2 diabetics, the issue is that the body is producing enough insulin, and even over producing, but the body is not using it to convert the blood sugar to fats. Thus we wind up with too much glucose in the blood. Same result, different causes. This device might not be of much use to type ones (though the idea of using it as a substitute for insulin is intriguing). But for type 2s, it could literally be a lifesaver.
