Type 1 diabetes is at best a huge nuisance and at worst a constant threat of death for up to 3 million Americans whose pancreases don’t produce insulin. Technology has improved the life of some diabetics, with insulin pumps replacing manual injections and glucose monitors that keep constant watch of diabetics’ blood-sugar levels, reducing the need for finger-pricks. Yet diabetics are still required to frequently monitor and adjust their insulin levels.
Now one company, Animas Corp., has completed the first successful human trial of a made-for-market artificial pancreas that takes care of everything automatically.

kwilliamsartist asked: Sending an ask because replies are too short. You shouldn't need to buy premade jar sauce since that shit is extremely expensive - That's $3 a meal everytime you want butter chicken, let alone having to stock for every other kind of curry. Find an ethnic store and buy all the spices fresh for less than $1-2 a bag, grind them in a mortar/pestle and you have yourself super cheap and delicious food. Also learn about tadka and you'll never go back to jarred shit :D ps murgh kari is superior
You make a compelling argument.
