After messing around with Elixir, I decided on my own that the Elixir ship wasn't worth it for me and I moved on to typescript. Now I am debating between Rust and Go for backend development (for a web service). Which one between these two would be recommended for my needs? My priorities are to be able to learn quickly and develop/iterate as fast as possible.
Incidentally, I work in pentesting, and one of my colleagues has Type 1 Diabetes; your overview of it and its resultant complexities really made me empathize with what challenges he has to surmount daily while still being one of the nicest, most approachable people in our team.

The Go community is generally averse to frameworks.
Looks like it, however, wouldn't that decrease the speed of development for new people that come onboard?
If that was the case, wouldn’t people who love Go have created one after more than a decade in existence?
The reason why Go developers don’t like “frameworks” a-là Ruby on Rails in the Ruby ecosystem is because the Go community generally prefers libraries over frameworks because Go’s simplicity and flexibility allow developers to compose their solutions using small, composable packages rather than being constrained by a rigid framework.
This approach often results in more efficient and maintainable code. The Go philosophy emphasizes minimalism and encourages developers to avoid unnecessary abstractions.
Edit: I'm curious if the people disagreeing with my musings have some studies investigating the topic, or some other interesting point.

Go is probably your choice, it was stupid fast to pick up. It’s a fun language too
Is there a good batteries-included framework for Go, like Ruby on Rails or Django?

But you won't find anything that's anywhere near as comprehensive and batteries-included as Rails or Django.

For a web service with fast iteration times, I'd probably pick Go of those two. While I'm not personally a giant fan, I think it is a much simpler stack that lets developers be pretty productive especially in the domain of web services.
As a T1 myself, I use a Dexcom as my CGM and have it working around that specifically, but I'd love to open it up to other devices too, and offer more. Feel free to check it out! https://github.com/Cian911/tmux-xdrip
