And just maybe your mouse won't get diabetes or cancer from the injected
nano particles.
But hey, 1 injection in 10 days might count for something :)

Injectable Nano-Particles Control Blood Sugar for Extended Time
Current standard treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes or advanced
type 2 diabetes follows an open-loop insulin delivery system where the
patients consistently monitor their blood glucose and make subsequent
insulin injections in order to compensate for variable glucose levels.
However, researchers from North Carolina State University, the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
and Children's Hospital Boston, have teamed up to shift glycemic control
efforts to a closed- loop system. This system is capable of continuously
delivery of appropriate amounts of insulin in response to in vivo glucose
levels
The researchers developed a nanoscale particle network that can be injected
into the body and release insulin when blood sugar levels rise. In
animal-based laboratory tests, one injection of the nano-network was able to
maintain euglycemia for up to 10 days.
