The Incretins Provide a Powerful Addition to Our Current Treatment Arsenal in Diabetes Care Their unique mechanism of action, with a strong focus on improving the function of islet cells, makes these agents potentially attractive for use in the full spectrum of the natural history of diabetes, from prediabetes to later stages of the disease.
 
Insulin Mouth Sprays Status: Phase II (Canada) Undisclosed (US) Mouth sprays deliver insulin via aerosol and differ from inhalers in that insulin is absorbed through the inside of the cheeks and back of the throat.   Researchers are currently developing fast-acting and basal varieties.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MiniMed Paradigm Real Time System
Jet Injector Release a tiny jet stream of insulin Insulin is forced through the skin with pressure, not a puncture Have no needles Sometimes could cause bruising
Insulin Pills Status: Phase II Oral insulin tends to be broken down by the digestive system or passed through intact.   Varieties that resist degradation and/or are better at transversing the gastrointestinal lining.   Insulin would be fast-acting and taken shortly before meals.
Insulin Patch Status: Phase I Patches would deliver  basal insulin Preceeded by perforation of the epidermis to ensure adequate absorption.   Altea's product will either be a one- or half-day patch, depending on the outcome of testing.

Sitagliptin Reduces Hyperglycemia Sitagliptin  improves beta-cell function and increases insulin synthesis and release. Sitagliptin  reduces HGO through suppression of glucagon from alpha cells. Metformin  decreases HGO by targeting the liver to decrease gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Metformin  has insulin- sensitizing properties.

    The Incretins Providea Powerful Addition to Our Current Treatment Arsenal in Diabetes Care Their unique mechanism of action, with a strong focus on improving the function of islet cells, makes these agents potentially attractive for use in the full spectrum of the natural history of diabetes, from prediabetes to later stages of the disease.

    Insulin Mouth SpraysStatus: Phase II (Canada) Undisclosed (US) Mouth sprays deliver insulin via aerosol and differ from inhalers in that insulin is absorbed through the inside of the cheeks and back of the throat.   Researchers are currently developing fast-acting and basal varieties.

    Insulin Pills Status:Phase II Oral insulin tends to be broken down by the digestive system or passed through intact.  Varieties that resist degradation and/or are better at transversing the gastrointestinal lining.   Insulin would be fast-acting and taken shortly before meals.

    Insulin Patch Status:Phase I Patches would deliver basal insulin Preceeded by perforation of the epidermis to ensure adequate absorption.   Altea's product will either be a one- or half-day patch, depending on the outcome of testing.

    Sitagliptin Reduces HyperglycemiaSitagliptin improves beta-cell function and increases insulin synthesis and release. Sitagliptin reduces HGO through suppression of glucagon from alpha cells. Metformin decreases HGO by targeting the liver to decrease gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Metformin has insulin- sensitizing properties.
