Scientists from Harvard University managed to develop a new way of administering insulin, it is a pill that promises to work the same or even better than conventional methods, this advance was published in the journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences".
The researchers stressed that the main challenge is to get insulin quickly into the bloodstream, because oral consumption takes longer to take effect due to the digestive system.
By the time the medication is in a trial period, it is expected that it will soon be ready for diabetic patients.
In general, insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas to regulate the level of sugar in the blood. When someone has diabetes, sugar levels rise, so it is necessary to apply insulin so that the body does not get out of control.
