Good news. Let's just hope artificial organs don't fall into the same software trap of dark patters as of late: privacy issues, bad firmware updates and bad security vulnerabilities. So no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, okay? And no data logging that is sent directly to insurance companies..

Luckily the artificial kidney turned out to be a passive device. As a dialysis patient it sucks that its so little funded and taking long to progress.

Vit K1 can already make you more insulin sensitive and can even have positive effects on induced Type 1 diabetes.

Vitamin K1 alleviates streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes by mitigating free radical stress, as well as inhibiting NF-κB activation and iNOS expression in rat pancreas https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S08999...

Its incredibly difficult getting hold of any sizable (pharmacological) amounts of K1 for reasonable money. I didn't realise good health is so expensive.
