    Did WHO know this before announcement? Lol

    I mean … the people at WHO who hired them, must have known? (Conflict of interest is important in these kinds of health subjects)…

    I dont trust them.

      To be fair, that’s pretty much what a lot of non-diabetics do, except they make their own insulin.
