and so we actually dug into this a lot and and basically the the short of it is if you can't measure the assay using an antibody or enzymatic reaction that very quickly without any washing yields and answer you can't do it at a point-of-care device and insulin is pretty hard to measure so it was initially measured using something called a radio immune assay I believe today they're usually done with something called Eliza's which are these enzyme linked you know rattle off what Eliza stands for but it's it's like it's a chemical reaction where you have to you know puts to put an enzyme on something rinse it off put another one on rinse it off inside resident words it can't be done in a moment so absent that I don't really see any direct way to measure insulin in real time
