Measure
Placebo, Then Humulin-R Insulin
Participants first received a Placebo using the SipNose device twice daily for 14-20 days. After a washout period of 2 weeks, they received Humulin-R Insulin using the SipNose device twice daily for 14-20 days. SipNose intranasal device: The SipNose device is an aerosol nasal delivery platform that uses pressurized delivery through the discharge of compressed air, resulting in an aerosol that delivers the drug in a narrow plume geometry, which targets the olfactory epithelium in the upper nasal cavity. From the olfactory epithelium, therapeutics rapidly reach the central nervous system, traveling extracellularly along the olfactory nerves. The device is not currently commercially available, but numerous studies have demonstrated its ability to intranasally deliver radiolabeled and therapeutic compounds to the brain.
