Scientists have developed an insulin pill that can replace the need for daily injections of this hormone. The work is carried out by researchers from the University of British Columbia in Canada.
A team of Canadian researchers has developed an oral product that can deliver insulin to the body without the need for needles. With this medicine, the full dose of insulin reaches the human liver. Note that science has made efforts to put insulin in the form of tablets before, but most of the active substance invariably ended up in the stomach, and there it is of no value.
Insulin injection will replace the pill
Many diabetics require daily and repeated doses of insulin to maintain their condition. Now injections are given with small needles several times a day, and although the pain from such injections is minimal, this kind of therapy is still uncomfortable and difficult, especially when compared with pills. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 37 million Americans, or more than 10%, suffer from diabetes, and 100,000 Americans die every year because of it.
Unique pill will replace syringes
Canadian scientists' pill uses a special tension with a thin membrane called buccal mucosa that is found on the inside of the cheeks and on the back of a person's lips. This membrane provides a protective sheath around the active substance, allowing it to pass to the liver without wasting insulin along the way. And already there it helps to process sugar in the blood. (READ MORE)
