I guess I'll have to dig into a Yahoo search to see if the potential of this peptide is still around. though I did not get too excited when I read a 1997 report that indicated a 1% improvement in the A1C--this appears to be less than the testing error.

I´m from Argentina. Wold like to know if INGAP is now aloud to use. Is ready for diabetic´s people buy it? I read few years ago about that protein, but never have news that have license aproved. If not, is a problem whit the insuline´s providers? I mean, is a problem of competition in the market?

Thanks, Liliana
