As a type 1 diabetic this almost sounds too good to be true but I’m gonna believe
Skimmed the article so correct me if I’m wrong but this sounds more like a drug for type 2 diabetes which is what people usually think of (overweight, low exercise, poor diet)
Based on the fact only select few type 2's take insulin injections, more or less based on not altering their diet/exercise, I figured it was for type 1's. Up top the article states "There are approximately 425 million people worldwide with diabetes. Approximately 75 million of these inject themselves with insulin daily." I interpreted this as a reference to type 1's as there are many more type 2's in the world. Regardless, it's really cool news from where I stand.
