Dr. Richard Rossman reports
Insulin has been successfully delivered in sustained quantities in animal experiments using a BIPHASIX skin patch and without the need for any injections.
Diabetic rats were shown to have significantly reduced blood glucose levels following their treatment with porcine insulin using the injectionless BIPHASIX delivery system in a skin patch. Blood glucose levels in the treated animals remained reduced for more than 30 hours.
As a result of this significant development, Helix BioPharma has decided to begin developing human insulin formulations with the ultimate aim of producing an insulin patch as a means of reducing the need for injections and improving patient compliance.
The company's BIPHASIX uses a unique, lipid-based, microencapsulation process, which is capable of delivering a wide variety of pharmaceuticals of varying size, weight and solubilities. This technology is particularly well suited to biologically derived pharmaceuticals including DNA and proteins such as insulin and interferon.

Great news IMO. This one has been threatening a breakout and maybe this news will do it. Be great to get a major pharmaceutical co involved
