Pricing info isn't super apparent, I guess it probably isn't a whole lot more than the $25 a vial suggested in various articles and comments about it.
Modern diabetes management includes either pumping or multiple daily injections (MDI). With MDI, you use a long acting insulin as a basal, or background, insulin. And then you'll use a rapid insulin to bolus for meals and to make corrections for unexpected spikes.
The pump is similar to MDI but you only use rapid insulin and the pump delivers a steady basal stream throughout the day, and you still bolus at meals and for unexpected spikes.
These two things allow diabetics to eat whatever they want.
We did the old school way for the first few weeks because that's the only way the doctors in Vietnam knew how to do it. It really sucked numbers wise.
Please elaborate...
