I wasn't going to bring that part up but yup. I guess it would be a case of price vs. benefit. Would you be willing to pay $200 a vial of insulin for C-Peptide to be added to it? Yes, it may prevent complications but there's millions of diabetics out there that have no complications and have been on insulin. Then this would just add to the insurance problems and increase rates quite a bit.
