A novel device is currently under development for aiding insulin analog therapy in diabetes patients, report researchers.
The "InsuPad" gadget is based on the phenomena that warming the skin will lead to improved microcirculation and accelerate insulin pharmokinetic profile by inducing faster insulin clearance from the injection site, explained Gabriel Bitton from manufacturer Insuline Medical Ltd, Petach Tikva, Israel at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes 48th Annual Meeting.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics profiles of current insulin are still slow compared with phsiology, resulting in large postprandial blood glucose excursions in insulin-dependent diabetic individuals, explained Bitton.
