I admit I've not read the whole of this properly, it's a combination of incredibly sad and incredibly infuriating.
It's about how diabetes (pretty specifically type-2) is treated in the USA.
One quote stood out for me, among oh so many: " “We had to be aggressive with his insulin,” given how high his blood sugars would run, Kodl told Reuters. At the same time, “severe hypoglycemia was a risk we took very seriously.” "
So many warnings and lessons in this article.
