good luck getting even close to all the crosschecks written that would make it a valid filing in a weekend. You might could create the site where you can fill out forms online, but that would be no different than filling them out by hand.

As a type 1 diabetic, its kind of refreshing to see all these posts make it to the top of HN. Over the last few months I have seen several related to t1d tech, and others related to the ridiculous pricing of insulin. Nothing really to say
