Insulin Delivery Devices Under Development
Researchers are now developing several new methods for delivering insulin. These include the insulin patch and inhaled insulin. The insulin patch, when placed on the skin, will give a continuous, low dose of insulin. To adjust insulin doses before meals, users will pull off the tab on the patch to release insulin. Inhaled insulin delivery systems will give insulin as a dry power, inhaled through the mouth directly into the lungs where it passes into the bloodstream. This aerosol delivery system will likely be about the size of a flashlight and use rapid-acting insulin.
