Let me ask you to clarify one more thing, this time without the sarcasm. Specifically when you wrote, "I think that the pharmaceutical company is hoping to find a statistical difference between the treated and untreated groups and this will allow them to market the drug to those of us who are desperate." I'm pretty desperate, but unless INGAP actually worked; regenerated islet cell to the point that I could get off or at least dramatically helped me to manage my diabetes, I wouldn't buy it. No doctor, no matter how many free dinners or golf outings he had from the pharmaceutical representative would make me want to buy it. INGAP in my mind either works or doesn't. What am I missing here?
