Digital Chewing Gum

 Taste pumped in for everlasting chew

For a bit over a year now, ever since I have an automatic insulin pump from Medtronic, I've been introduced to the thin plastic tubing that never tears no matter what it gets caught in or on.

Chewing gum usually quickly loses its taste after a very short time. The solution (I'm not sure how healthful, but tastewise its a solution) would be to have this tubing deliver a tiny bit of taste back into your chewing gum. Then after an hour it would ask you to change the set and do something constructive with your life.

Tubing or not tubing. That is the quest. https://www.medtron...ducts/infusion-sets

       Once, while changing my insulin set, I dripped a few drops of insulin into a glass cup which I intended to clean up later on. Then a phone call came in, and I came back to the kitchen poured water into the glass, and drank it. I felt my tongue going a bit numb and I know it makes the skin on my hand peel so even though it was the Sabbath day and I don't usually use the phone, I immediately called up our Poisoning Emergency Information Center and the woman said in a wry voice, you can continue drinking from that glass, and I wish to inform you that if you find a way for the insulin to affect you orally please share it with me because together we are going to win the Nobel prize. So the answer to A1 is yes.

       Uh oh. I see it now. Every other piece of chewing gum has enough insulin to counteract the sugar in the previous piece. Likewise 100s of products. NetZero diabetic foods. But they must be eaten in a specific order. [+]
