This is an insulin pill, and it could end the need for painful injections.
Researchers at the University of British Columbia designed them to be dissolved between the gum and the cheek, rather than swallowed.
In rat tests, they found that nearly 100% of their dissolvable insulin reached the rodents’ livers and almost none was found in their stomachs. This insulin was also faster-acting than other in-development tablets, which tend to release insulin slowly over several hours.
