Good observation! You might just be right!

Re: new oral insulin

I think this article is suspect. They indicate that it could be beneficial to

Type 1's and 2, but researching the pharmaceutical website, it is geared to

those with pre-diabetic conditions, and glucose intolerance, perhaps meaning

resistance? which are type 2s of course. In the case of Type 1s, diabetes is not

typically about insulin resistance.

*quote from Generex website*

We are looking forward to conducting this trial and await the results with

great interest, " said Prof. Paolo Pozzilli of University Campus Bio-Medico.

" While it is not yet known whether the treatment of IGT (Impaired Glucose

Tolerance) can delay or prevent diabetes or associated diseases such as

cardiovascular disease, the delay of onset for high risk people will itself

provide benefit in terms of morbidity and complications associated with the

disease. We look forward to determining if the introduction of Generex Oral-lyn,

as a non-injectable alternative, in the pre-diabetes state can play a role in

empowering people to control daily glucose levels. "

I'd like to ask them non-injectable alternative to what? In the pre-diabetes

state, patients are typically not on meds or insulin. And besides, pills such as

metformin are already non-injectable oral medications... aren't they? How is

this oral insulin taken by mouth different? Those on insulin are not the same

people as those with pre-diabetes.

Also, when I googled about these supposed drug trials, one should find

references to trials as these trials are in stage 3, and must have been around

for a while. I could not find any reference to trials that are underway, even in

the recent past. All results are from the Generex website, or pharmalive

website, which is clearly a Generex website as well.

I guess all I'm saying is before one jumps on this bandwagon, to proceed

cautiously, and, in fact, if you can, refrain from proceeding at all.

They have found, , that type 1 diabetics who have gained a lot

weightbecome insulin resistant. There is a type 1 diabetic in one of my

classes. She learned a few years ago that she can take extra insulin to

cover carbs and prompltly gained 30 pounds. She now has to take twice as

much basal insulin as well as more fast acting insulin to cover herslf!
