Emerging Frontiers in Non-Insulin Treatments for Diabetes Mellitus
Key Growth Drivers and Opportunities
Rising Global Prevalence of Diabetes: The increasing global proliferation of diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet and aging population are promoting considerable demand for effective and convenient treatment options. As more patients are diagnosed especially with type 2 diabetes there is a growing requirement of treatments managing blood sugar without complications of insulin use. Non-insulin therapy provides benefits such as weight loss and heart safety, such as oral administration, low side effects, and additional health benefits, making them a favorite option and accelerates their market growth.
Challenges
Non-insulin therapy for diabetes market faces many challenges, including high treatment costs, limited access to low and medium-income countries, and concerns on long-term security and side effects of new drug classes. Additionally, the patient may be affected by complex doses regimens or gastrointestinal side effects, and competition from insulin-based treatments remains stronger in some segments. Regulatory barriers and extensive clinical trials also slow down the introduction of innovative remedies.
Innovation and Expansion
IDF Establishes a Working Group to Examined New Type 5 Diabetes
In April 2025, A working group to create formal diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines for a type of diabetes associated with malnutrition that was officially designated as 'type 5 diabetes' during an international meeting of experts in India earlier this year was announced by IDF President Professor Peter Schwarz at the recent International Diabetes Federation (IDF) World Diabetes Congress 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand. Additionally, the working group will create educational modules to teach healthcare professionals and a worldwide research registry.
Between 20 and 25 million individuals globally are thought to have type 5 diabetes, mostly in Asia and Africa. This discovery represents a turning point in our knowledge of diabetes and its impact on undernourished and lean adolescents and young adults in low- and middle-income (LMIC) nations.
Cipla Takes Center Stage as CDSCO Authorized the Launch of Inhaled Insulin
In December 2024, Following the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization's (CDSCO) approval of Cipla's exclusive distribution and marketing of Afrezza, an inhalation human insulin, in India, the company's stock will continue to be closely watched.
Unlike existing insulins that are administered as injections, Afrezza is a rapid-acting insulin that is administered via inhalation. When taken at the start of a meal, Afrezza dissolves swiftly in the lungs when inhaled orally and immediately gets insulin into the circulation.
Inventive Sparks, Expanding Markets
Through R&D innovation, strategic alliances, and entry into developing markets, non-insulin treatment firms are propelling growth. They concentrate on creating safer, more efficient medications, utilizing digital technologies to assist patients, and obtaining authorization for more extensive therapeutic applications. The key players operating the Non-Insulin Therapies for Diabetes Market include AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, BoehringerIngelheim GmbH, Eli Lilly and Company, and others.

Israel announces 'tactical pause' in Gaza fighting after outrage over starving Palestinians
Israel announced Sunday it was pausing fighting in some areas of the Gaza Strip to facilitate aid delivery after international outrage swelled in recent days over surging deaths by malnutrition and widespread starvation caused by Israeli restrictions on humanitarian aid. The announcement issued by the Israel Defense Forces said it would be implementing "humanitarian corridors" for the safe movement of United Nations aid trucks and "humanitarian pauses" in some of Gaza's most densely populated areas. The military's "tactical pause" will take place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the areas where the Israeli military is not operating: Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City, the IDF said, and will continue daily "until further notice." Additional secure routes will be in place between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. to enable the safe passage of aid trucks, the IDF said, adding it is "prepared to expand the scale of this activity as required." Trucks began moving into Gaza from Egypt after Israel's announcement, with the Egyptian Red Crescent saying the convoy included over 100 aid trucks containing more than 1,200 tons of food. However, a spokesperson for the Gaza Health Ministry, Dr. Khalil al-Daqran, told NBC News that 25 people had been killed by Israeli army fire so far on Sunday morning, including 11 people seeking aid in central Gaza. Al-Daqran added that Israeli airstrikes across the strip are ongoing. The World Food Programme welcomed the implementation of humanitarian corridors, saying it has enough food already in the region, or on its way, to feed Gaza's entire population for three months. Gaza needs more than 62,000 tons of food assistance monthly, it said in the statement Sunday. Israel also said it had air-dropped seven packages of aid into the enclave on Sunday, after inviting foreign countries to do the same. Aid delivery by air has been slammed by international organizations as a "distraction" from the roadblocks Israel has imposed on overland aid delivery, which remains the only way to get a meaningful amount of food and other supplies into Gaza. "Aid drops are a grotesque distraction from the reality of what's needed on the ground in Gaza right now. They can never deliver the volume, the consistency or the quality of aid and services that's needed," Ciarán Donnelly, vice president of international programs at the International Rescue Committee, told the BBC. An additional six people in Gaza have succumbed to malnutrition in the last 24 hours, according to the health ministry, bringing the total to at least 133 people killed by starvation, including 87 children. The enclave's wider population of some 2 million is also at risk of mass starvation, aid organizations have warned, slamming Israel's aid delivery mechanism, which they say is riddled with obstructive bureaucracy, delays and arbitrary denials. Thousands of truckloads of aid are piled up outside Gaza's border crossings waiting to be delivered, but Israel says it's the responsibility of the United Nations aid agencies to distribute inside Gaza, which in turn blame Israel for erecting bureaucratic and logistical hurdles so complex that only a fraction can be distributed across the enclave. "The U.N. and international organizations are expected to improve the effectiveness of aid distribution and to ensure that the aid does not reach Hamas," the IDF said Saturday. Israel has long maintained that aid restrictions are in place to prevent Hamas from stealing the food, though an internal U.S. government analysis found no evidence of systematic theft of the supplies by Hamas over the past 20 months. OCHA, the U.N.'s humanitarian aid agency, and the World Food Programme, have previously maintained that they have not seen evidence of Hamas diverting aid. Israel lifted its nearly three-month total aid blockade in May to allow some organizations to distribute a limited amount of aid, and has maintained that there's no hunger inside Gaza, with the IDF saying on Saturday that "there is no starvation in the Gaza Strip; this is a false campaign promoted by Hamas." International aid agencies, hospitals and medical organizations, as well as NBC News' reporting on the ground, have widely documented mounting hunger across Gaza. "Food crisis in Gaza is a humanitarian catastrophe," Jagan Chapagain, chief executive of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said Sunday in a post on X, adding: "Even the carers are not getting enough food to stay healthy enough to care for others."

Healing the battlefield: IDF opens mental health access for soldiers within 24 hours
IDF soldiers are suffering from sleep disturbances, concentration issues, anxiety, mood swings, decreased appetite and more. IDF soldiers are not only dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, but also suffering from sleep disturbances, concentration issues, anxiety, mood swings, decreased appetite, and more, according to Col. (Dr.) Yaakov Rothschild, head of the IDF's Mental Health Division. In an interview with Walla, Rothschild provided a comprehensive overview of how the military is addressing soldiers' psychological needs amid the ongoing war. He discussed what soldiers are revealing behind closed doors, how mental health professionals identify distress, and the role of artificial intelligence, which has already been integrated into therapy rooms and is expected to expand further. He also highlighted a significant shift in how the IDF addresses mental health, particularly the breakdown of stigma surrounding mental health officers (Kabanim), and a newfound openness in discussing suicide once a taboo topic within the military. 'Every such case is investigated,' Rothschild said. 'As the body responsible for mental health in the IDF, we treat every incident with the utmost seriousness. We are dealing with matters of life and death.' A dramatic transformation since October 7 'The transformation within the IDF's mental health system since the start of Operation Iron Swords has been dramatic,' he said. 'Access to Kabanim has risen significantly for combat troops, support personnel, and rear units alike. This is due in large part to the enlistment of approximately 1,000 Kabanim since October 7.' Many of these professionals are treating soldiers on the front lines, sometimes under fire, providing real-time psychological support during combat operations. Reservists, Rothschild added, face unique psychological challenges not experienced by regular service members. 'Transitioning repeatedly between civilian life, military duty, and back to being a family member or employee often over the course of nearly two years creates a kind of loop,' he explained. 'This requires targeted mental preparation both before entering and after exiting combat zones.' The military has adopted a more proactive approach to emotional readiness, with efforts to make information accessible, reduce the fog of war, and focus on both individual and group resilience. 'This allows us to identify soldiers who may need professional attention,' Rothschild said. 'All IDF personnel, including commanders, are trained to recognize signs of psychological distress and to encourage peers to speak up when they see a problem.' Unprecedented investment in mental health The IDF Medical Corps has invested heavily in the mental health system, an area once treated as a secondary concern. Since the war began, more than 1,000 Kabanim have been active 800 of them reservists. Currently, five Kabanim are stationed in every observation battalion and brigade. Soldiers requesting a mental health consultation are now guaranteed to receive one within 24 hours. In a historic development, Kabanim have entered Gaza and southern Lebanon 80 times since the start of the war to help frontline units process traumatic events during active combat. The IDF has also launched a new reserve training track for future Kabanim, introduced a new position Mental Health Diagnostic Specialist and has handled over 3,000 new mental health cases since October 7. The Ta'atzumot day clinic has treated 800 soldiers and service members in its intensive therapy programs. According to Rothschild, 86% of those undergoing intensive treatment remained within military frameworks following therapy a significant indicator of the program's success.

Aid airdrops begin in Gaza: Israeli military
Israel's military has released video footage of what it says are airdrops of aid into Gaza and says humanitarian corridors will also be established for United Nations convoys, after increasing accounts of starvation-related deaths. It follows months of experts' warnings of famine amid Israeli restrictions on aid. International criticism, including by close allies, has grown as several hundred Palestinians were killed in recent weeks while trying to reach food distribution sites. The Israeli military said as well as aid drops and corridors, it is prepared to implement humanitarian pauses in densely populated areas. Israel's foreign ministry said the humanitarian pauses would start on Sunday in "civilian centres" along with humanitarian corridors. New steps to improve the humanitarian response in Gaza:✈️Aerial airdrops of aid will resume. The airdrop includes 7 pallets of aid containing flour, sugar, and canned food.🚚Designated humanitarian to enable safe movement of UN convoys delivering food and medicine.… — Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) July 26, 2025 The military "emphasises that combat operations have not ceased" in Gaza against Hamas, and it asserted there is "no starvation" in the territory, where most of the population of more than two million has been displaced into a shrinking area with little infrastructure. The majority of people rely on aid. Later, the Israeli military released video footage of what it said were airdrops in co-ordination with international organisations and led by COGAT, the Israeli defence agency in charge of aid co-ordination in the Palestinian territory. It said the drop included seven packages of aid containing flour, sugar and canned food. Witness accounts from Gaza have been grim. Some health workers are so weakened by hunger that they put themselves on IV drips to keep treating the badly malnourished. Parents have shown their limp and emaciated children. Wounded men have described desperate dashes for aid under gunfire. The military statement said airdrops would be conducted in co-ordination with international aid organisations. It was not clear where they would be carried out. And it wasn't clear what role the recently created and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, meant as an alternate to the UN aid system, might play. GHF chair Johnnie Moore in a statement said the group stood ready to assist. Israeli airstrikes and gunshots killed at least 53 people in Gaza over Friday night and into Saturday, local time, most of them shot dead while seeking aid, according to Palestinian health officials and the local ambulance service. Deadly Israeli gunfire was reported twice close to the Zikim crossing with Israel in the north. In the first incident, at least a dozen people waiting for aid trucks were killed, said staff at Shifa hospital, where bodies were taken. Israel's military said it fired warning shots to distance a crowd "in response to an immediate threat". A witness, Sherif Abu Aisha, said people started running when they saw a light that they thought was from aid trucks, but as they got close, they realised it was Israel's tanks. That's when the army started firing, he told The Associated Press. He said his uncle was among those killed. "We went because there is no food ... and nothing was distributed," he said. On Saturday evening local time, Israeli forces killed at least 11 people and wounded 120 others when they fired toward crowds who tried to get food from an entering UN convoy, Dr Mohamed Abu Selmiyah, director of Shifa hospital, told the AP. "We are expecting the numbers to surge in the next few hours," he said. There was no immediate military comment.
