I think this is some good information! Smaller doese over time have usually caused better (or worse) responses in the human body. this is bound to be effective. The only worry would be, what is IN the patch before you put it on.

       I think it is about time to replace those nasty and dangerous needles to patches or something better...maybe ointments, liquid vaccines.

to me anything would be better than using a needle, they freak me out way too much

I have a good friend thats a Diabetic, and has to "stick" himself everyday, or more.  I wish they could find something better for him.  He's recently obtained one of those new devices, that is like a "butterfly kiss" (their advertising).  He still feels it, but not as much (so he says), but I still see him wince once in awhile.  Sometimes when I go and get blood drawn, It hurts something terrible, then other times, I hardly feel it......weird.  I feel sorry for anyone who has to poke themselves.
