Diabetic medicine from the venom of a platypus?

New Atlas has an article about the research - The University of Adelaide -  of find a way to help diabetics using the venom from a platypus. I think this is very unique but I hope it works. The article indicates there is much research to be done before diabetics could use it but I am hoping that future diabetics will be able to benefit their efforts.

BBC also an article on it. PHYS.ORG also has an article.
