You asked the question on the AMLN thread but here's the response:

From a "scientific type" there is nothing to evaluate at this point. The following questions have no answers as yet from the company:

1) What is the structure of Diab II?
2) What is the patent position? When will the patent issue?
3) Where is some animal data in a peer-reviewed journal, in an accepted model for Type II diabetes?
4) What is the proposed mechanism of action? Are there data to support this proposal?
5) When will clinical trials start in a non-third world country?
6) What is Diab II marketed as in China? What were 3Q97 sales (in any currency)?

The tone of this message is not to be harsh. It's just that I have looked at this company off and on for about nine months and solid, concrete, independently verifiable data is lacking (or hiding in places I cannot find), and it's a bit frustrating. Inquiries to the company produce annual reports and investor packets. I guess I should call again and try to talk to a human directly.

At this point, to the North American scientific community, Diab II is a vapor product as far as I can tell. A link or a reference to prove me wrong would be most welcome.

Good luck. Hope this works out for you.
