This is looking quite good, especially if it improves control. http://www.nobexcorp.com/clinical/diabetes.php

| | For the others of us, we're "In the Future" Quote: |
How would a peroral insulin product be used in practice? The specific indications that NOBEX is targeting are initially focused on the type 2 diabetic patient: (1) first-phase insulin replacement by a pre-meal oral dose for control of post-prandial blood glucose; and (2) bedtime dose to control overnight and early morning fasting hyperglycemia. In the future, type 1 diabetic patients may also be able to fully control post-prandial glucose with peroral insulin in combination with a basal insulin product.

| | | Yes, it looks very promising. Delivering the insulin to where it is needed the most should make using it effectively a lot easier. And I can't see why T1s shouldn't be able to use it. Maybe they want to prove the concept first with T2s because it is safer.

| | | I'd like to know the acting time for the oral insulin. It looks like it might take too long if you had a big meal. Still, I would appreciate a pill over shots. easier to take around, less hiding as well. |
