A team led by Professor Avadesh Surolia, director of National Institute of Immunology, New Delhi, has developed a nanotised insulin for sustained treatment of diabetes. The insulin has passed pre-clinical trials and is ready for clinical trials.

Once the nano insulin is available, diabetics will need to take the injection only once a week or 10 days instead of daily. ?Many diabetes patients are tired of taking 2-3 injections per day.

The nano injection, once ready, will be a huge relief. We have tied-up with a US firm for clinical trials and the development of the final product.

Do we therefore assume that an awful lot of Indian diabetics are on mixed insulins? - which are cheaper, methinks?
