Abstract
Millions of people with diabetes have no or only limited access to electricity that limits their ability to store insulin according to the recommendations of the insulin manufacturer in general. At the same time, environmental temperatures are increasing in many countries which have a negative impact on the glucose-lowering effect of insulin not stored adequately. Therefore, the availability of heat-stable insulin formulations that do not require constant cooling would be of help for many patients; however, despite this clinical need, apparently not many are in clinical development. This commentary discusses the different aspects and approaches that are of relevance in this context.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology (JDST) is a bi-monthly, peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Diabetes Technology Society. JDST covers scientific and clinical aspects of diabetes technology including glucose monitoring, insulin and metabolic peptide delivery, the artificial pancreas, digital health, precision medicine, social media, cybersecurity, software for modeling, physiologic monitoring, technology for managing obesity, and diagnostic tests of glycation. The journal also covers the development and use of mobile applications and wireless communication, as well as bioengineered tools such as MEMS, new biomaterials, and nanotechnology to develop new sensors. Articles in JDST cover both basic research and clinical applications of technologies being developed to help people with diabetes.
