[QUOTE="Scardoc, post: 610660, member: 44692"] [url]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/lantus-maker-sanofi-buys-inhaled-insulin-afrezza.62954/[/url] The news article don't always seem to get too many views so thought I'd comment on a new thread. An insulin you can inhale? First I've heard of this and my immediate reaction was brilliant. However, having read a few articles online a couple of questions have surfaced. Firstly, peak action in 15-20 mins - would this be too quick? Would it entail having to have a few goes over a period of time?

It’s aimed at post-meal blood sugar spikes, meaning used with existing insulin treatment and not meant to be a stand-alone insulin treatment. Certainly, amongst the benefits would be the removal of the stigma some people feel when injecting in public, no need for needles, no risk of lipohypertrophy, no bruised bodies and if and when, as I sometimes do, you have to take insulin on board during exercise it could be done on the run!
