"Promising Oral Insulin Delivery System Offers Needle-Free Life for Diabetics"
Scientists have developed a new form of oral insulin that can be taken as an alternative to syringes or insulin pumps, successfully testing it on animals and planning to begin human trials in 2025. The insulin is designed to be delivered to the liver using a specialized polymer that responds to blood sugar levels, offering more precise delivery and potentially reducing unwanted side effects. If successful, the oral insulin could provide a more convenient and effective option for diabetes management.
