such as in the case where the nutrient with embedded insulin would also be used to substantially compensate for the glucose content of a conventional meal nutrient with reversibly protected insulin components that substantially compensates for the glucose content of the nutrient or the nutrient and associated nutrients is herein referred to as insulin compensated nutrient the preferred embodiment is illustrated in and described with respect to fig1 where a nutrient 101 has multiple distributed insulin containing capsules one of the capsules 102 is shown in an enlarged version 103 which shows it containing an insulin particle 104 within a protective hydro gel 105 in a further enlarged section the surface of the hydro gel 106 has a coating 107 that maintains the capsules in a stable condition when embedded in the nutrient 101 in the preferred embodiment the coating 107 protects the capsules such as 108 when embedded in the nutrient 101 by preventing interaction between the nutrient and the hydro gel and thereby maintaining it in a stable condition the coating dissolves or is rendered useless when it encounters an acidic environment and thus is a reversible protective coating the hydro gel 105 encapsulates the insulin particle 104 in a protective manner when in a low ph or strongly acidic environment however when it encounters a higher ph or less acidic environment the hydro gel expands and allows the insulin particle 104 to diffuse or become available for interaction the hydro gel thus has a reversibly protective attribute the nutrient 101 with an appropriate amount of embedded reversibly protected insulin constitutes insulin compensated nutrient operation of the insulin compensated nutrient is illustrated in and described with respect to fig2 where the insulin compensated nutrient 201 is taken orally and delivered via the throat 202 to a.
