We’re a team of biohackers with a variety of backgrounds, and skills, and relationships to insulin and diabetes, from many cities and countries around the world, including Oakland, California; Baltimore, Maryland; Paraiba, Brazil; Paris, France; Dakar, Senegal; Yaounde, Cameroon; and Puerto Rico. We’re working to develop the first practical, small-scale, community-centered model for insulin production to make insulin accessible to all. This model will ensure communities in need have local sources of safe, affordable, high-quality insulin, and that people living with diabetes and their communities own and govern the organizations that produce the medicine they depend on to survive.
Of course regulations could be a huge issue. Mainly because big pharma effectively influences legislation and is lobbying for their monetary profit, not for our well-being. The potential of ‘home-brewed’ insulin, would be bad for their business.
