Faster Insulin: Extracellular Action

[Northerner]

Until we find a biological cure for diabetes, help transplanted islets survive and thrive, or discover how to regenerate normal insulin secretion in a pancreas whose beta cells have been ravaged by auto-immune attack, the best science and technology can do is develop ways to make man-made insulin act more like its naturally produced counterpart. The most promising developments today revolve around increasing the speed of insulin absorption and shortening its ?tail,? the time it spends in our bodies at elevated levels. Insulin Nation has covered various approaches to faster insulin, including Mannkind?s Afrezza? inhalable insulin therapy [Inhalable Insulin: A Breathtaking Development], heating the area around infusion or injection sites [Faster Insulin: A Heated Exchange], or intradermal injections using super-short needles [Faster Insulin: Short and Sweet].
