    Anything I've seen about these things before the big problem was being able to get the insulin past the stomach acids which will just destroy everything. Would be good if it did ever happen though.

    I'd be more interested in less invasive testing methods before different insulin delivery methods. The insulin injections don't bother me anywhere near the same as the finger pricking for blood does.

    Amen brother! and the pricking doesn't bother me as much as remembering to do the bloody thing in the first place...something that just worked away in the background would be great. And a pill would be great too - one less pen to carry around..
