Abstract:
Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia arising from a combination of insufficient insulin secretion and resistance to insulin action. Insulin has become an important agent in treating this disease, but long-term administration of insulin not only brings pain and inconvenience to the patients but also causes local adipose tissue atrophy and scleroma. Therefore, novel delivery method has become a hot topic, mainly including improving delivery systems, developing new recombinant insulin, and changing the route of administration. This article introduces DUROS (an implanted delivery system), a new route of drug administration.
