To put it another way - if we treated 1,000,000 people with Virta, we'd be paying ~$5 billion for one year of treatment. That's one top of some other regular treatment (i.e. meds) that it does not appear to cover. That's roughly the budget of all the hospitals in Sydney

In the US it can cost $1000 a month for Insulin alone, so its cost effective for them. You are also looking at a projected 1,000,000, how much is that going to cost to treat over decades? The virta treatment is not secret, you can do it yourself.

I guess the point I'd make is that no one is arguing that spending many thousands of dollars a year on each individual with diabetes can be effective in making them lose weight/improve HbA1c, but to do so we'd either have to shut down hospitals or enormously increase health spend
