InsuLIn ???????? Oral

[dirtysouthmuscl]

I dont really know alot about Insul, but I know they make an oral (think ) for like people in the early stages? I've seen alot of people pin Insul, Why dont anyone use the oral. I know Insul is one of the most powerful anabolics ??? Just sounds safer and dont have to pin?????? Probably a Brain Fart and Im sure Jayhawks going to bash me back to the little bus for this one!!!!!

Where have you seen insulin pills?

I was under the impression that it has a worthless oral bioavailability.

I know someone with diabetes and there taking some pill because their in the early stages. I dont want to ask them but I figured someone here would know.

There's not an oral insulin pill that I know of. More than likely it's glucophage or something similar.

I do remember hearing about oral insulin in trial stages. There are ways to deliver peptides 'orally.' There's IBE's way, which has it absorbing in the mouth. I think there are other ways as well, more properly considered oral. If you do a PubMed search or a search in that database of drug trials (forgot the site) you'll see it's out there. Whether or not it's in common use or very successful at all I don't know.

There's aparently a new oral version in the works (it was in todays news)

There is also a clinical trial looking for type two volunteers that is delivered intranasally. I heard it on the radio the other day.

type one diabetics are the insulin dependent ones. an intranasal delivery system may work for type two's but it won't be as strong as pinning.

I mistyped that....the trial is for type 1 to replace shots.
