Abstract
Methods and formulations are presented that provide for a) the oral absorption of GLP-1 peptides that bind surfactants; and b) long-term storage of formulations containing these peptides. For example, a GLP-1/DSS complex is administered orally instead of parenterally, which is much more convenient for, and facilitates compliance with diabetic patients and persons with other GLP-1 treated conditions.
