Abstract: Injection therapy for diabetes has poor patient compliance, and the painoccurring at the site of subcutaneous injections
causes signifcant inconvenience to diabetic patients. In this work, to demonstrate the benefts of an alternative drug delivery
technique that overcomes these issues, methacrylated gelatin hydrogel-forming microneedles integrated with metformin
were developed to adjust blood glucose levels in diabetic rats. Gelatin methacryloyl microneedles (GelMA-MNs) with dif-ferent degrees of substitution were successfully prepared by a micro-molding method. The resultant GelMA-MNs exhibited
excellent mechanical properties and moisture resistance. Metformin, an anti-diabetic drug, was further encapsulated into
the GelMA-MNs, and its release rate could be controlled by the three-dimensional cross-linked network of microneedles,
thereby exhibiting sustained drug release behaviors invitro and implying a better therapeutic efect compared with that of
subcutaneous injection in diabetic rats. The drug release period could be signifcantly prolonged by improving the cross-link density of GelMA-MNs. The results of hypoglycemic efect evaluation show that the application of GelMA-MNs for
transdermal delivery in diabetic rats has promising benefts for diabetes treatment.
