Injecting insulin is a daily routine for millions of people all over the world.At present insulin can given only through injection because when insulin given orally it can be destroyed by enzymes in the stomach.But researches from the Aberdeen university have developed an insulin pill with a coating using a novel polymer,which is not damaged by the stomach enzyme.This pill will be able to release insulin in the intestine , and can be absorbed in the blood stream.This will be a welcome message for those who are scared or have difficulty with needles especially children and older patients.
