Just look at the LifeCase& LifeApp System, designed by Eric Schickli and Samantha Katz, as a part of Amy Tenderich's DiabetesMine 2009 Design Challenge. This iPhone application combines a blood glucose monitor (complete with test strips) and pump interface. Imagine if this device and application were produced and distributed by one of the non-major device vendors - maybe then the diabetic market could influence price by demand.
I think the solution lies with us, the diabetic community, to make our voice heard and to demand fair-market pricing for all diabetics, not just those fortunate enough to have health insurance.
