T1 Oral Insulin Someday?

My parents and both brothers have to manage their type 1 diabetes (T1) with up to five shots of varying insulins a day. There are a lot of needles floating around our family. In fact, we've even taken to joking about it. Whenever we all get together for summer fun, birthdays a... more
