A stick-on patch that blasts insulin through the skin could banish the need for daily injections for many diabetics.
The high-tech electronic patch contains enough insulin to last the patient several days.
When a hand-held device, called a sonic applicator, is held over the patch, it fires sound waves that open up the pores in the skin and force the drug into the bloodstream more quickly.

Not sure I would want something "blasting" insulin through my skin! 😱 Also, we don't inject insulin directly into blood 😱 I can't see how you can dose accurately using something like this.
