Some diabetics take insulin by injection to keep their sugar under control, but some scientists claim that swallowable tablets will hit the market in the coming days.

A fat-containing nanomaterial coating was developed for tablets

Scientists in Australia are developing an oral capsule that will relieve diabetic patients from injections. Many patients require injections more than once a day. They will feel relief from this pill. RMIT University's Dr. Jamie Strachan said that a fat-based nanomaterial coating was created to prepare the pill that would hold the insulin. The pill will pass through the stomach into the intestine and the coating will disintegrate there.

Two tablets are being tested

Information about the pre-clinical trial of this pill has also been published in an international journal. It talks about trials of both a fast-acting insulin pill and a slow-acting insulin pill. Another chemist and co-researcher at RMIT University, Professor Charlotte Kahn, said that if you've eaten, you need a fast-acting drug. Currently, slow-acting insulins have better performance and can be used. We are still experimenting more and waiting for positive results.
