Nearly a century after the crucial discovery of insulin, Indian scientists have developed a long-sought insulin pill that could spare millions of diabetics around the world the pain of daily jabs.
In experiments with rats, the 'pill' lowered blood glucose levels almost as much as injected insulin. In fact, the effects of the 'pill' lasted longer than that of injected insulin, according to the study published in the American Chemical Society journal Biomacromolecules.
For years, researchers have sought a way to transform delivery of insulin therapy from a jab to a pill, but it has been a challenge.

Still no real details of how on earth you would carb count using pills... 🙄 And no-one seems to be acknowledging that injections, although a pain, are rarely actually painful.
