New treatment for Type 2 Diabetics

A new treatment is being trialled for Type 2 diabetics. The medication is currently being tested on 155 people who are based in Britain.

The drug is called Victoza. This is treatment that is already used to treat diabetes but it needs to be injected. The new trials are testing the drug so that it can be taken in pill form.

The medication works by helping the pancreas to produce more insulin.

Novo Nordisk are behind the trial and while this trial only focuses on those with Type 2 diabetes it is said that millions are being spent to see if it is possible to give insulin in the form of a pill to people with diabetes Type 1, a development, that if it were to happen, would be welcomed by millions of diabetics worldwide.
