The incidence of Type I Diabetes is not that high. Govt. should be commended on this initiative. I hope it gets implemented asap. We should also simultaneously develop a database of these patients - especially if Govt. agencies are involved in the distribution. There should be a website where they should register all their details to be eligible and also upload their medical history. Great opportunity to build a repository of info. for the country.
