Hi Hobie,

I am close to someone with diabetes and uses Lantus insulin, this person has been Type1 for nearly 60yrs so this is a topic near and dear. Here's a quote and link to a report on the use of hydrogels for insulin.

"2.2. Biodegradability

Formulated hydrogels are designed so that they are able to self-degrade, allowing for low or non-toxicity build-up over time [8]. This means that the hydrogel DDS synthesized can be metabolized into non-toxic by-products or expelled via glomerular filtration [18]. Hydrogels have the advantage of biodegradability in comparison to other biomaterial platforms due to the polymers employed [8]."
