[QUOTE="fergus, post: 102615, member: 6150"] It is available on prescription in the UK, howie, but the manufacturers intend to phase out production in the near future. Swings and roundabouts. Although it meant insulin users could manage without injections, the inhaler equipment was very large, as were the doses. Absorbtion was a bit hit or miss and all in all, the disadvantages semed to outweigh the advantages. I know a T1 who still uses it, and it works for him because his job makes it difficult for him to manage injections. All the best, fergus PS, just checked it out with NICE and it seems it's no longer available I'm afraid howie. **** thing looked like an asthma inhaler on steroids anyway! [/QUOTE]
