"I was really lucky. I applied for a clinical quota for oral insulin at Sanqing and was assigned to the treatment group."
“From the first day, I stopped taking insulin and instead took a pill every day half an hour before meals, about 50iu units, which is half the amount of 100iu required for injection, but the effect is the same. "
"My blood sugar measurement results fluctuated a bit in the first two days. The doctor said this was normal, and I would have to readjust to the dressing change. Sure enough, from the third day on, my blood sugar curve was the same as before, and my fasting blood sugar dropped to 7mmol/l. Next, the blood sugar dropped to around 10 two hours after the meal.”
"Doctors say that most people will not have adverse reactions. Some people may have some diarrhea, pantothenic acid and other gastrointestinal abnormalities, but they are not serious and will get better after a while."
"Sure enough, after five days, my body had adapted to the oral insulin without any abnormalities."
“As a sugar person who has been sugaring for more than ten years, I know exactly what this means.
"Brothers and sisters, the oral insulin we have been waiting for for so long is finally here!"
"Everyone can now completely get rid of the pain of daily injections. I'm so excited, woo woo woo."
A small Internet celebrity named "Tangtang" posted photos and talked about her clinical trial experience, attracting a lot of attention.
At first, netizens were a little skeptical, wondering if some internet celebrity was trying to gain traffic again.
However, more and more volunteers participating in clinical trials are speaking out online, recording their clinical drug trial experiences and expressing their joy.
Only then did everyone realize that Sanqing had really developed a blockbuster drug that changed the world.
When the media caught the hot topic, they interviewed the drug testers and published relevant news reports.
The news of "the advent of oral insulin" immediately became a hot search topic, and people's expectations for this important breakthrough instantly reached a climax.
Countless netizens were amazed, while diabetics shouted with joy.
"Oh my god, it has already entered clinical practice. It is no longer a purely conceptual thing in the laboratory."
"Sanqing is awesome! How many people have to thank them for being able to research this thing."
"Compared with injections, it is definitely more convenient to take pills directly."
"This kind of technology is worthy of hot searches. Brothers, put it at the top of the list and get rid of those bad things in the entertainment industry."
"Wouldn't that be much easier? It's the same as high blood pressure."
"Today's medical technology is becoming more and more advanced, and it is indeed much more convenient. Great!"
"Thumbs up to the scientific researchers and thumbs up to General Health. Every moment, General Wei and his companies are changing the world and making life better."
"This major breakthrough in medicine is gratifying. I hope it can be put into use as soon as possible after clinical approval to save the majority of diabetic patients."
"Come on, I hope it will be launched soon. The old lady at home really needs this."
"Looking forward, injecting insulin is fine for young people now, but it is too difficult and inconvenient for the elderly."
"Actually, there are also long-acting insulins now, which can be injected every few days. There is no need to switch to oral administration, and I don't know whether the blood sugar is well controlled."
"No matter what, it is more convenient to take it orally, which is good news for diabetics. There is no need to say this."
"I'm afraid the person above said this is not a diabetic. Sure enough, my back hurts when I stand and talk. Don't you know that insulin needs to be kept refrigerated? It is very inconvenient to take this thing even once every few days and go out. I used to take several injections a day. When I was young, I had to go home every night and couldn’t stay out overnight.”
"If the effect is the same, I would definitely choose oral medication."
"A breakthrough that benefits 500 million people is really beneficial to the country and the people."
"It's definitely a great improvement in the quality of life, and diabetic patients love it."
This huge wave of noise swept the domestic Internet, and even foreign media could not ignore it.
Overseas media also forwarded the good news at the speed of light.
"It is reported that the oral insulin project recently developed by Sanqing Group has made breakthrough progress and has entered the third phase of human clinical trials."
"This oral insulin has the same effect on the human body as injected insulin. If the clinical trials go well, it will improve the quality of life and mental health of more than 9 million type I diabetes patients around the world after it is launched."
"The drug uses an oral route to encapsulate insulin in nanoparticles, deliver it into the digestive tract, and deliver it to the liver without consuming or breaking down the insulin in the process."
"According to patient responses to the trial drug, the drug can be fully absorbed within 30 minutes at the earliest after taking it, and is slowly released in the liver. The effect can last from 1 to 24 hours."
“As we all know, diabetes is a chronic disease today, but 100 years ago it was almost a terminal disease, especially type I diabetes. It was insulin that changed the fate of diabetics who had no cure and could only wait to die. "
"But insulin is expensive to produce and expensive, and it must be administered by injection, sometimes 4-6 times a day, which puts a lot of pressure on the patient's wallet, body, and psychology."
"Oral insulin is more convenient to use, less painful, and can also reduce a large amount of medical waste caused by discarded needles and syringes. It is an obvious better choice."
"For this reason, humans have long begun to study oral preparations of insulin, but judging from the results, more than a hundred years later, the curse that insulin can only be administered by injection has not changed."
“Multinational giants Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Eli Lilly, and Pfizer all had ambitions to enter this track and invested tens of billions of dollars, but they all failed in the end.”
"I never expected that it would be the Sanqing Group from the East that broke the 100-year-old curse of insulin being inaccessible orally, and made mankind say goodbye to insulin injections completely."
"The only regret is that Sanqing Group seems not very keen on sharing, and has kept relevant technical papers tightly covered. Not only has it not been published in Nature and Science, it has even been rarely seen in its own life magazine."
"This needs to be improved. As a leader in medical technology, we should have an open mind and a willingness to share."
As soon as this report came out, foreign netizens also went crazy.
They cheered and called for Sanqing, and Wei Kang instantly became the savior of overseas sugar people.
Especially the netizens of Eagle Country were extremely excited and wanted to open the door immediately to welcome oral insulin.
"Well done Sanqing, kill Lilly and take all my money."
"Fuck, I've had enough of these vampires like Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk."
"Damn it, finally there is an Eastern dragon coming to kill them. I absolutely support it."
"Even the stingiest businessmen in the East cannot be more greedy than Lilly and the others."
"That's right, brothers, this is oral insulin. It's absolutely useful. It can't be compared to the injected insulin from 100 years ago."
"If I have to give money, I would rather give me oral insulin that gives me a better experience, right?"
The reason why netizens in Eagle Country are so passionate is that the sky-high price of insulin in Eagle Country has been a problem for a long time and has been criticized for decades.
The price of insulin has soared 600% in the past 20 years, with patients spending an average of $375 a month on this life-saving drug, and up to $1,000.
Compared with other countries, the price of insulin in Eagle Country is nearly 10 times higher.
Today, when production costs are becoming increasingly transparent and even declining, pharmaceutical companies are still constantly raising the price of insulin. The empty costs generated by the constant nesting of dolls between hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies are all passed on to the people.
The Big Three have been fishing for money for a hundred years, and they have been fishing harder and harder, so they have become a street rat that everyone wants to beat.
This has even become a kind of political correctness. As long as you criticize Eagle State pharmaceutical companies online as greedy vampires, then you are a good friend of Eagle State people.
Even the Eagle Country government is deeply dissatisfied with this, because insulin is monopolized by the three giants, and even generic drugs cannot enter the market, resulting in high prices and medical insurance expenditures soaring every year.
Congress was forced to do nothing and even issued an insulin price limit order, but it had little effect.
The news of the successful development of Sanqing oral insulin has undoubtedly given netizens in Eagle Country a shot of stimulant.
It’s all out of pocket, and it’s not given to anyone. Of course, it has to be given to the one who has the best experience. With oral insulin, who would want to be injected with needles every day.
Under such public sentiment, Eli Lilly's official account on Twitter suddenly released a shocking news.
“We are very excited to announce that insulin products are now free.”
This tweet went viral as soon as it came out.
Netizens around the world were stunned and had extremely complicated emotions.
Everyone hopes for the stars and the moon, hoping that the price of insulin will drop, but now it is free?
I never thought that after scolding you, you would get it for free?
If I had known earlier, I would have scolded you every day.
In the final analysis, it is Sanqing's credit. If oral insulin had not come out, Eli Lilly would not have been so cowardly.
People with diabetes retweeted and liked the tweet, making it a hot search topic.
Overseas netizens are also preparing to party all night long to celebrate that the masses will eventually defeat capital and victory will always belong to us.
Not long after, the official Twitter accounts of Sanofi and Novo Nordisk also posted the same news.
"We are very excited to announce that our company's insulin products are also free."
This time, everyone suddenly stopped being able to deal with it.
Question marks popped up one after another among netizens, who were completely confused about the situation.
where am I? What did I do? Is this world real?
Isn’t it true that the three of you came together to entertain us?
The main thing is that it looks so beautiful that it doesn't look real at all.
However, the reaction of the stock price was very real. The news of free insulin spread more and more widely. Eli Lilly's stock price plummeted, falling by more than 5%, and its market value evaporated by US$15 billion that day.
The share prices of the other two giants have also plummeted, with market value losses reaching billions.
The stock prices of the three giants plummeted, and netizens became more and more ecstatic.
This shows that the news about free insulin must be true. Otherwise, those people on Wall Street are not vegetarians. How could they not know the truth?
As a result, ecstatic netizens from Yingguo rushed to nearby pharmacies to purchase insulin, only to find that it was not free. Instead, they were ridiculed by the clerk.
Netizens who failed to return were angry and immediately denounced the three giants online as the most despicable fraudsters in history.
The reputation of the Big Three continues to decline -99, -99, -99...
It wasn't until the next day that Eli Lilly's letter of apology arrived.
It turned out to be a letter refuting the rumors.
"Sorry, we apologize to everyone who has been exposed to false information. Our official account was hacked and it took a whole day to get it back. The previously released insulin free information was false information. Please don't be deceived. Insulin in pharmacies The selling price will not be affected for the time being.”
Clarification statements from Sanofi and Novo Nordisk also followed.
The three giants have stated that the free incident is pure fiction. The damn hackers have caused irreparable losses to the company's stock price and will be held legally responsible.
In anger, he showed a trace of embarrassment, which immediately attracted ridicule from netizens.
"Even hackers can't stand it any longer, so Cyber Robin Hood strikes out resolutely."
"Angry and violent hackers are the light of Eagle Country."
"It would be nice if all this was true."
"I knew vampires wouldn't be so kind."
"God will make you spit out everything you swallow.
"You just fool us like this, and you don't even know how to reflect."
"You really deserve it. I just hope the hackers can hold on for a while and let your stock price fall for a little longer."
False tweets once again ignited public anger in Eagle Country over the long-term abnormal pricing of insulin. Netizens went all out and attacked the official accounts of the three giants.
The farce did not stop here. Some accounts pretending to be Lilly jumped out and ridiculed him.
"We apologize to everyone who received false information. Humalog (insulin made by Eli Lilly and Company) is now $400. We can raise the price as much as we want and you have no business. Get out of here, motherfucker." "
"Not happy? Do you want to continue scolding me? Then increase it to $500. Do you still want us to continue to increase it?"
"Poor guy, if you can't afford it, you deserve to die. Sooner or later, my income will rise to $1,000."
The avatars and names of these accounts are made to look fake and look exactly like the real accounts. It is easy to be confused if you are not careful.
The leaders of Eli Lilly and Company were so heartbroken that they frantically contacted Twitter. Finally, a few hours later, all fake accounts were banned, and a wave of personal accounts that were abusive were also banned.
After losing the fake accounts created by Internet mouths, netizens no longer dared to curse, and they all went to Lilly's account to express their anger.
"Why not give away medicine for free?"
"If you go back on your word, do you think you're a hacker if you say you're a hacker? You haven't caught a real person, so you're just lying."
"Since your account says it should be free, then it should be done."
"It costs almost nothing to produce insulin anyway, so why not just give it away for free?"
"Ah, we prefer the fake Eli Lilly and Company, you'd better cancel it."
"Shouldn't you apologize for a $300 bottle of insulin?"
"The unknown hacker single-handedly caused the stock prices of Sanofi and Novo Nordisk to plummet. He is really a great hero of mankind."
As the farce continues, some political elders have joined the conversation, saying that insulin prices should be reduced.
“Insulin was invented to save the common people, not to make Eli Lilly’s CEO rich.”
"We should introduce new competitors so that the dragon sitting on the throne can spit out its ill-gotten gains."
The CEOs of the Big Three were all dejected, and they were really miserable.
The attack by public opinion was not bad, mainly because the stock price was still falling, and now the fools could see that after the launch of Sanqing's oral insulin, Wall Street really didn't think favorably of the Big Three.
At the end of the matter, netizens went to their usual routine and petitioned the FDA, demanding that Sanqing's oral insulin be put into clinical trials in Eagle Country as soon as possible.
Under the offensive of public opinion, the FDA could only hold its nose and agree.
This vigorous farce spread to China on the other side of the ocean.
Wei Kang received the friendly request conveyed by the FDA, and with a stroke of pen, agreed to the overseas clinical trials of oral insulin.
The news spread back to Eagle Country, and overseas netizens were ecstatic.
As for the CEOs of the Big Three, their hearts were completely cold now.
