According to WHO 2012 report 347 million people worldwide have
Diabetes. Diabetes mellitus is a serious pathological condition
responsible for major healthcare problems worldwide and costing
billions of dollars annually. Conventional insulin therapies
involve multiple daily subcutaneous injections having many
challenges. Hence novel approaches for insulin delivery are being
explored. A variety of alternative routes/methods have been
investigated to improve systemic insulin delivery. Peroral and
nasal insulin administrations have demonstrated good potential for
the treatment of diabetes. In addition, pulmonary, buccal, and
ocular insulin administration have been shown to decrease serum
glucose concentrations. Other methods that have been investigated
for their potential in systemic insulin delivery include rectal,
vaginal, and uterine routes. This book is helpful to the medical
and paramedical students and also researchers who work for the
development of novel insulin drug delivery systems and devices.
