RE:RE:Global news this morningDepending on cost, it could be a good alternative for newly diagnosed patients. If it's only one injection, it'd render the pouch useless in about 80 years time. If you need continuous injections, you're just replacing insulin with another drug. I'm not too worried about this impacting the short term price of sernova but just goes to show the longer you wait, the closer the competition gets. Yes I know there would need to be trials etc for years but any big pharma would easily buy them rather than the pouch as it fits their existing sales model. No one is going to pay top dollar for the pouch for a couple years advantage if there are easier solutions in the pipeline. Remember drug companies are in it for the money, cures don't make as much as treatments. Just my two cents. Oh and spill is a clown. I figure a post wouldn't be complete without some spillup bashing. He is really earning his name lately.

They are looking for another 40 type 1 patients - the news clip this morning isn't available for posting yet (hence the 2021 post). The caveat is that the patients have to be "newly diagnosed" suggesting that it doesn't work for existing longer term Type 1 patients. Treated with a crones drug.
