Nano Mist is a patented smartdrug that continuously responds to a diabetic's glucose level by releasing precise doses of insulin as the body needs it. An accurate closed-loop diabetes management system that functions from the blood stream itself, the Nano Mist eliminates some of the dangers of diabetes, which kills one person every ten seconds. Delivered via a monthly nasal inhalant, the Nano Mist is a zero-maintenance replacement for all of a diabetic's glucose monitoring and insulin delivery equipment. Their design was tested at the Ohio State University's College of Pharmacy and has received positive feedback from nanotechnology and medical experts.
