Men's Fitness,  June-July, 2004  by Coppa Matt

* Researchers in Toronto are closing in on the first oral form of insulin--a pill that can be taken in place of injections.

* A new Austrian drug called Caiapo (made from an extract of the sweet-potato plant) may allow for better blood-sugar control than medication alone.
