Recent Challenges in Insulin Delivery Systems: A Review

TLDR
The inhalation delivery system Exubera® has already become clinically available in the United States and Europe for patients with diabetes as non-invasive delivery system.
Abstract
Relatively, a large percentage of world population is affected by diabetes mellitus, out of which approximately 5-10% with type 1 diabetes while the remaining 90% with type 2 Insulin administration is essential for type 1 patients while it is required at later stage by the patients of type 2 Current insulin delivery systems are available as transdermal injections which may be considered as invasive Several non-invasive approaches for insulin delivery are being pursued by pharmaceutical companies to reduce the pain, and hypoglycemic incidences associated with injections in order to improve patient compliance While any new insulin delivery system requires health authorities' approval, to provide long term safety profile and insuring patients' acceptance The inhalation delivery system Exubera® has already become clinically available in the United States and Europe for patients with diabetes as non-invasive delivery system

Cross-linked chitosan microspheres for oral delivery of insulin: Taguchi design and in vivo testing

TL;DR: In vivo studies revealed a significant reduction in blood glucose level after administration of the optimized formulation, in comparison to a subcutaneous insulin injection, and chitosan microspheres were superior in terms of sustaining protein release over conventional insulin therapy.

Global Prevalence of Diabetes: Estimates for the year 2000 and projections for 2030

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the "diabetes epidemic" will continue even if levels of obesity remain constant, and given the increasing prevalence of obesity, it is likely that these figures provide an underestimate of future diabetes prevalence.

Insulin signalling and the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism

TL;DR: The epidemic of type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and tissues such as muscle, fat and liver become less responsive or resistant to insulin.
