Information about SmartInsulin

Once again, Ann Bartlett gave me a mission: find out about SmartInsulinTM. So, like everyone one else interested in learning about a topic, I used Google and asked a smart 25-year-old who can find information about anything on the internet. After an extensive scholarly search on Google, I was unable ...

I like HighWire Press out of Stanford better than Google Scholar. If you haven't already, you might want to try it.

I have been following these guys for some time. I believe the drug will be a huge breakthrough (I'm hopeful anyway) Based on this brief but thorough slideshow link below I think Human trials should be starting sometime in 2010....

Fran... I am really praying for this one. After 35 years of the rollercoaster I'm so ready to get off. It's physically and emotionally draining and its difficult to not be depressed. If you go to their website they have a fairly recent article in PDF format under the "In THE NEWS" section. I am hoping once human trials start and it proves safe and effective they will move quickly as possible to get it commercialized.

I interviewed SmartCells CEO Todd Zion a few years ago on my blog.  Catch that interview at http://sstrumello.blogspot.com/2007/06/conversation-with-smartcells-ceo-todd.html.

Thanks, Scott: I just read your interview. Apparently JDRF agreed with your insights! I understand that Dr. Zion will have various speaking engagements on behalf of JDRF. I know he will be speaking in the DC area in the next few weeks. I have several families that will be attending; so we will be informed on the latest. Keep me posted if you find any other information!

Dear Dr. Cogan,

 

It's so refreshing when doctors aspire to keep-up with all the stuff coming down the pick. Companies are working on some amazing things for the treatment of diabetes - but if there's one thing I PROMISE I will NEVER MISS about diabetes....it's the HYPOS!

Thanks so much for checking-out Smart Insulin ® and posting your insightful thoughts on the subject. I can't wait for the blessed-day it hits the market!

 

Always,

Allie
