[QUOTE="iHs, post: 102861, member: 8799"] Although not available in the UK as yet, Oralyn is available in India. Its a very small asthma looking inhaler ( a bit like ventolin) and is sprayed into the buccal lining of the mouth. One spray is roughly the equivalent of 1 unit of U100 bolus insulin. I am pleased to say that it works and the spray is not unpleasant and is rapidly absorbed. The only downside is that more than 5 sprays at a time will need a drink of some sort. Adults will be fine using it but young kids will not have enough dexterity in their hand so will need help from a parent. Also, the mouth needs to be kept closed for about 10 seconds after the spray so that the mist doesn't escape. I showed it to my gp and she was amazed 8) :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
