Sharing because I found this very interesting.

The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has a DIY design for a home lab you can set up to reproduce expensive medication for dirt cheap, producing medication like that used to cure Hepatitis C, along with software they developed that can be used to create chemical compounds out of common household materials.

Wow, the sheer hostility towards customers on display when your guaranteed business for life...

Just because they know diabetics have to use them is not a reason to be a scumbag company wherever possible.

Why is it permitted in our society to walk all over diabetics as if they are second class citizens???

Sounds like they treat you like a cash cow and not a patient in need of medical support, and I'm really sorry for that
