Managing diabetes is a great issue at International level. Even after doing everything and taking all the precautions , the disease remains and contineus.
Now US scientists have developed an oral method of administering insulin that can be a less painful alternative to millions of people worldwide with diabetes who have to inject themselves with the drug to manage their blood-sugar levels.
The team has successfully encapsulated insulin using Cholestosomes — a neutral, lipid-based particle — that can be administered orally with tiny vesicles that can deliver insulin where it needs to go without injecting.
The biggest obstacle to delivering insulin orally is ushering it through the stomach intact. Proteins such as insulin are no match for the harsh, highly acidic environment of the stomach.
They degrade before they get a chance to move into the intestines and then the bloodstream where they’re needed, the study said.
