Low carb diet leads to “clinical remission” in 3 cases of type 1 diabetes

I am aware that insulin costs a lot less in other countries. I have read the stories of Americans going to Canada to buy insulin. I have also read the stories of diabetics in the United States who died because they tried to make their insulin last longer by rationing their dose.

If I didn't have insurance my insulin would cost me either $245 (fast-acting) or $700 (basal) a vial.

I was just pointing out that getting insulin for $35 a vial in the United States is a very good deal.

That may very well be the case. But for someone paying 0% tax in Ireland, 0€ on insulin is an even better deal.

I agree, completely.
