Researchers have found a alternate for insulin to help treat diabetes orally, replacing painful pricks over 10 years, Erik Helmerhorst, professor at Curtin University, and colleagues looked at three million compounds on pharmaceutical databases to try to follow the molecular map of insulin they found one, and are increasing it to "take the needle out of diabetes".

"Our innovation is the expansion of a new chemical entity, a small drug molecule we have revealed and, developed, that can be taken orally as a tablet to replace insulin per se," said Helmerhorst.

The research has the capability to revolutionise the treatment of diabetes, which is a growing problem worldwide helmerhorst said there was a niche market for their drug molecule to target Type 2 diabetics to help delay the onset of insulin addiction according to a Curtin statement.
