Scientists have developed a form of insulin delivery by incorporating tiny 'beads' of it within and ice-cream formula. The coldness of the ice-cream allows the beads to remain intact during passage through the stomach so the insulin can be absorbed through the intestine. No more needles! Unfortunately, the ice-cream based insulin is only currently available from one source, so supplies are expected to be severely limited until production can be increased.
