    Out of curiosity in the legality. Is insulin considered a prescription drug?

    Could a malfunction be blamed on the operator if he/she is diabetic?

      I’ve seen diabetic family members so fucked up they ended up in hospital.

      Then again that’s because they weren’t on their drugs…

      The “may” carries a lot of weight so it probably depends. The way US law works is pretty weird IMHO and the reason for many of such disclaimers/waivers. “Objects in mirror are closer than they appear”, “Contents may be hot”, etc.
