Authors' recommendations:
Oral/buccal insulin gives similar or better results than injected insulin. The new treatment produced a greater and early reduction in post-prandial blood glucose compared to standard treatment, as well as a faster and shorter maximum insulin concentration.
There are currently no long term clinical trials that demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of oral/buccal insulin. Studies of longer follow-up periods are required to evaluate long-term side effects.
No cost-effectiveness publication has been identified. An important observation is that oral/buccal formulations require more total insulin per dose compared to injected insulin. This data suggests that there may be an increase in costs associated with insulin therapy.
