RS.
thanks for your comments .
Maybe we should chat about this , I think it would work , I don't have the capital but certainly have the expertise
And I am not sure about this , but I don't think that in the US , Sanofi or any other pharmaceutical company could own such a center .
I don't know how to communicate with you , but I will ask the moderators if there is a way to do so .
Thanks

The resident socialist on this board (me) is very sure that there should be enough insulin around for everyone regardless of his/her ability to pay. One should not be doomed to death because one is a diabetic in this day and age. Insulin is cheap and plentiful. It is generic and should be available by all of us to everyone who needs it. Of course, the capitalist in me doesn't necessarily believe that this person should have access to a new technology that is limited, non-generic and for which they cannot pay a premium.
But really now, who among us is willing to be the one that tells this 72 year old man to go home and die?

suebeeee1, Spiro probably doesn't have a socialist cell in his body, but totally agrees with you on this issue. The problem is Capitalism doesn't seem to work too well in a Socialist country. The Greek government over regulates everything they can get their hands on. This is particularly true with the private pharmacist owned pharmacies. The Greek government regulates the cost of every medication sold at these pharmacies, including business hours. Spiro here, very glad that all of his Grandparents legally immigrated to the U.S.A. qz.com/183989/greece-has-a-truly-absurd-number-of-pharmacists/www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/04/10/greece-retail/7523739/

This is the horrible byproduct of a socialist country that ends up running out of other people's money. Greece's fate might end up being our fate in a decade or two. I would have given this post a hundred thumbs up if the system permitted. Greece's problems are caused by people not paying their taxes, not "socialism." Sweden, Denmark, and Norway are doing just fine.

Seriously lefty, I would respond but I've learned the mods are serious about staying on topic. So I'll just say "best wishes to Greece and the E.U. I hope they make the right decisions to manage their way out of the crisis." But I seriously doubt it.
Here's hoping for a nice scripts pop this morning!

It is my belief that our best hope is for successful users like Spiro will tell their story to other diabetics and get them to try it. I would think diabetics would have developed a circle of fellow diabetics as a bit of support mechanism. The more successful users the more the use will grow.

The famous bearcatbob of UC lore, then onwards and upwards to fame (if not fortune) in the oil and gas fields of Kern County, California?

OK
We're straying way off topic. Locking the thread.
