The data extrapolated from this trial is revealing promising and positive results. The oral formulation of this insulin, currently named ormd-0801, is in capsule form. Oramed pharmaceuticals is the first pharmaceutical company to attempt oral insulin that has progressed this far in the trial.
But you should not take anything without doctor's advise as it may be harmful.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

My mother is having diebities since last 10 years at an average level of 200 to 280 (fasting) now our family doctor had suggest to stat give insulin (lantus soloster) now the sugar level is from 100 to 140. Now I wanted to know that does this insulin has any side effects or not. And if yes what are they. And for how long will I have to continue this insulin treatments, is there any chances that insulin will be stop in future. Currently my mother's age is 50 years and also having asthama problem and unit of insulin is given from 8unit to 18 units. (2 unit is increased as sugar level rises above 110, and accordingly decrease if sugar level comes below 110 (fasting)). Is it true that once you stat giving insulin, it will have to continue whole life, it can't be stop, as other tablets will now be less effective. My mother is taking tablets 1) glix m. 3 times a day 2) pioz 15. Once daily 3) telecast a once daily 4) faracort 400. Twice daily 5) tiova. Twice daily please help me, I am confused.

Hi, in t1 diabetes, unless blood sugar is properly monitored and insulin dosage is correctly adjusted, hypoglycemic episodes can occur. You may talk to your physician and see how effectively sugar levels are maintained. This is not a situation which can be addressed by online consultation. It needs a close monitoring between you and your physician. Also you may think of using insulins like glargine or degludec which are peakless.

I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
Sudden weight fluctuations in diabetes should be considered as red flag sign and you should take it seriously.
I would like to know your blood sugar levels.
Also Kidney function tests you need to get done.
Write to me with all your reports and blood sugar status.

Mr. K V Sethuraman, Your blood glucose levels are fairly good, within the recommended limits, particularly fasting glucose. What is the HbA1c%, it should be <7. If you have well controlled diabetes, then you can donate the kidney to a needy person.

Sometimes there is insulin resistance and many other factors which contribute to such situations (you may find the response is not satisfactory ). Please have patience and let you doctor reassess as frequently as possible. It may take some more time. You can discuss your concerns with the doctor. Aggressive changes in the treatment plan may not be favourable. You can always take a second opinion if needed. Thorough physical examination and regular monitoring is required in such cases.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The blood glucose 471 mg (either random or PP, it can not be both), is too high. It means your present treatment is very inadequate. This needs to be upgraded. Please tell me whether you are on only Insulin or also take any oral antidiabetic drugs? Or you have T1 or T2 diabetes?
Ideally in well controlled diabetes fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. So there is need to give a detailed look at the treatment. Hence, if...more
