The end of injections for diabetics? Smart patch can automatically release insulin into the bloodstream
Smart patch is a thin square no bigger than a penny
Covered with more than 100 tiny needles, each about the size of an eyelash
When it detects increases in blood sugar levels, secretes doses of insulin
The patch - a thin square no bigger than a penny - is covered with more than one hundred tiny needles, each about the size of an eyelash.
These 'microneedles' are packed with microscopic storage units for insulin and glucose-sensing enzymes that rapidly release their cargo when blood sugar levels get too high.
The patch - a thin square no bigger than a penny - is covered with more than one hundred tiny needles, each about the size of an eyelash that can automatically release insulin when needed.
The study, which is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that the new, painless patch could lower blood glucose in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes for up to nine hours.
More pre-clinical tests and subsequent clinical trials in humans will be required before the patch can be administered to patients, but the approach shows great promise.
'We have designed a patch for diabetes that works fast, is easy to use, and is made from nontoxic, biocompatible materials,' said co-senior author Zhen Gu.
