I'm sure it won't be a fit for everyone's daily use, but at the very least it should stop people from rationing their doses.

type 2 can afford to ration thiers if they need insulin, but less likely for type 1, since they are insulin deficient and they need to have a constant supply, or they get KETOACIDOSIS.
