Summary

COI synopsis: For six months, day and night, a diabetic has volunteered to wear a harness containing a small box. It will feed him his daily allowance of insulin in a steady continuous trickle, replacing separate injections before meals. It’s more convenient - and the long term medical benefits could be enormous.
