What is the potential of oral insulin formulations in diabetes management, and how do they compare to injectable forms in terms of absorption and efficacy?
1. Oral insulin has potential in improving patient compliance but faces challenges with absorption consistency compared to injectable forms that are directly bioavailable.
2. Oral insulin formulations show promise in diabetes care by enhancing comfort and adherence, though they generally have lower and more variable absorption rates than injections.
3. While oral insulin improves ease of use and could reduce needle-related complications, it is less effective in controlling blood glucose due to unpredictable absorption.
