Progress in the Development of Chitosan Based Insulin Delivery Systems: A Systematic Literature Review.

ABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that is considered a worldwide epidemic, and its control is a constant challenge for health systems. Since insulin had its first successful use, scientists have researched to improve the desired effects and reduce side-effects. Over the years, the challenge has been to increase adherence to treatment and improve the quality of life for diabetics by developing an insulin delivery system. This systematic review (SR) analyses experimental articles from 1998 to 2018 related to the development of the chitosan/insulin delivery system (CIDS). Automated support: Start tool was used to perform part of these activities. The search terms "insulin", "delivery or release system", and "chitosan" were used to retrieve articles in PubMed, Science Direct, Engineering
