INSULIN PILL, A Real Possibility

Doctors now think that in the near future it may be possible to take your insulin in pill form. The problem so far has been that insulin is broken up in the stomach before it can get to the bloodstream.

An element found in shrimp shells may provide the answer by coating the pill thus protecting the insulin until it can reach the blood. This would be great for all those depending on insulin but terrified of the injection and/or needles.
