| Abstract: |
This article reviews new products and innovative delivery systems for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus. The author stresses that alternative drug delivery systems are becoming an important trend in diabetes therapy. The article describes the h-Patch (Valeritas), which is a basal bolus insulin delivery system; the U-strip insulin patch (Encapsulation Systems), an ultrasonic drug delivery system; AIR inhaled insulin (Eli Lilly and Alkermes), which is in phase 3 clinical trials for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients; a digital insulin pen (Eli Lilly) that has a memory and delivers insulin lispro; the I-PORT injection port (Patton Medical Devices), a 3-day delivery device through which injected medications can be administered without the need to puncture the skin with each injection; and the Cleo 90 infusion set (Smiths Medical), a single-use disposable infusion set. The author explains how each of these products and devices might be used in everyday management of diabetes. Quotations from manufacturers, users of the devices, and physicians are included. |
