ABSTRACT

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease affecting a great number of the world‘s population. Insulin therapy for diabetes is most commonly delivered via subcutaneous injections, up to four times a day. Long-term insulin therapy, compounded by the invasive nature of its administration, has caused problems with patient compliance, ultimately influencing patient outcomes. Extensive research has been carried out to date, to explore possible improvements to insulin therapy for diabetic patients, with some new products already available and FDA-approved. This review article highlights the various routes of insulin administration such as parenteral, oral, buccal, rectal, inhalation, artificial pancreas, transdermal and other new approaches of the insulin administration with some insulin formulation.
