Type-1 diabetes is a disease that affects the production of insulin in the body, requiring strenuous monitoring of glucose levels in order to prevent severe symptoms eventually ending in death. With the rise of solutions to produce insulin reminiscent of synthetic biology, the production of insulin is no longer problematic in developed countries; however, glucose monitoring is and continues to be a source of financial trouble for many people with Type-1 diabetes. | Type-1 diabetes is a disease that affects the production of insulin in the body, requiring strenuous monitoring of glucose levels in order to prevent severe symptoms eventually ending in death.
