This is a classic example of where you have to let people experiment with their own bodies. The risk tolerance lots of people have is way higher than what society is allowed to mandate as the best.
Of course paternalistic people will use the instruments of the state to restrict what we can do for ourselves. We can't just build and share "an unapproved device for managing your insulin" because the FDA will get in the way. But life would be so much better if we had the freedom to do that.
Unfortunately, the real problem is that there are a bunch of idiots who don't know how to take risks. They expect things to always work and they team up with the people who want to protect the idiots and oppress those of us who are willing to take a little risk for some reward.
