Why not just stick to C-Peptide testing + clinical history?

Yikes. Many recent stories I've read are straight up dystopian. Like the one with the organ donor that was still conscious.

Local suppression? Yes, with effort. Programs in Australia and Singapore have reduced Aedes populations by over 80–90% in some areas.. . but it requires a lot of resources and coordination
