As a long time type 2 diabetic, the worst thing that could happen when controlling blood sugar is taking too much insulin and/or taking insulin before an activity or excercising. This has happened to me several times and the subsequent low blood sugar is a nightmare. Over the years, I've learned to carefully monitor my intake and activities after taking insulin. I will never trust any device to auto inject insulin. Too many things could go wrong with that, especially for a system that uses a wireless network to manage diabetes.
