    How about get your shit together or die.

    I know enough fucking old people who have diabetes and just don't give a fuck. All these technologies do is allow them to continue their glutounous lifestyle, whil sucking me dry via taxes and higher premiums for their healthcare.

    All of these are directed at type 1 diabetese, and almost all of these (certainly anything that says "insulin") aren't applicable for type 2 diabetese. Type 1 is considered "child-onset" -- as in, this isn't (just) about old people.

    Things that say "Google" in them are being developed, by Google, to lessen Google's insurance contributions -- that is, being developed to better the lives of direct economic contributors.

    So take your troll elsewhere.

      And to add to your comment, I doubt anybody at Google has Type-2 diabetes. Every image depicting campus life shows only scrawny little wimps who eat only kale and drink Michelob Ultra when they do drink. And of course the senior executives get the best healthcare maintenance in the world -- transfusions of the blood of dead babies harvested through their tribe's human-trafficking networks.
