Ultrafast insulin

[livabet1]

Hi,
I've been in contact with Stanford university re the development that they are doing to produce an ultrafast insulin.
Below please find their response. I hope the DCUL members might find it useful

Hi Mark
I'm not up-to-date on the current status of this research but the lead researcher, Eric Appel, gave a recent talk about it: https://www.closeconcerns.com/knowl...ning_Fueling_Newly-Launched_Start-Up_Surf_Bio
For more information, here is the "News" section of Prof. Appel's lab website (which is where I found the information about presentation above): http://www.supramolecularbiomaterials.com/in-the-news

Best,
Taylor

Thanks @livabet1, looks particularly interesting for those on pumps, though as an MDI user I'd love an insulin that peaked at under 30 minutes and was out of your system by 60 minutes. Presumably this is more like the insulin that non diabetics produce in their own bodies?
