Hello,
Team developing oral insulin tablet sees breakthrough results
"Researchers working on developing oral insulin tablets as a replacement for daily insulin injections have made a game-changing discovery. The researchers have discovered that insulin from the latest version of their oral tablets is absorbed by rats in
the same way that injected insulin is.
"These exciting results show that we are on the right track in developing an insulin formulation that will no longer need to be injected before every meal, improving the quality of life, as well as mental health, of more than nine million Type 1
diabetics around the world." says professor Dr. Anubhav Pratap-Singh (he/him), the principal investigator from the faculty of land and food systems.
He explains the inspiration behind the search for a non-injectable insulin comes from his diabetic father who has been injecting insulin 3-4 times a day for the past 15 years.
Most swallowed insulin tablets in development tend to release insulin slowly over two to four hours, while fast-release injected insulin can be fully released in 30-120 minutes."
