New glucose-responsive insulin may cut injection frequency to once a week
This "smart insulin" is designed to stay inactive in the body until it’s needed and then activate instantly to manage blood sugar.
Dr. Tim Heise, vice-chair of the scientific advisory panel for the Grand Challenge, believes that smart insulin could mark the beginning of a new era in the fight against diabetes. This important funding will speed up the development of insulins that better mimic a healthy pancreas, which could greatly improve the lives of those with type 1 diabetes. Conducted at universities in the US, Australia, and China, this research aims to develop insulins that work faster and, more precisely, ease the management of type 1 diabetes and reduce long-term complications.
