Well better a shot...

a shot to have the body remain uninflamed and the body regulate its own sugar levels than the shot for us to regulate it ourselves. Lets see if we hear more on this or if it mysteriously fades away. You would have thought such promising news would have made it into the major newscasts...never saw it mentioned except here!

The trick will probably be getting the nerves to STAY uninflamed. I imagine that a shot for that nerve cluster is even harder than not bruising myself with a mealtime bolus... The technique of applying this medicine may take a little while, but the mechanism seems to be very promising.

If I remember right, this may also relate to multiple sclerosis - I'm not sure where I heard that part, though.
