I believe there used to be a nasal inhaler but it was not very popular and was withdrawn. Not sure if this is the same thing or something new?

I heard that it had been tried a while ago, but the body reacted to it in 30 odd years heard so many stories of trying to stop type 1's from injecting. I go with a pinch of salt, on most stories as the body rejects it some how. Sorry to be on a downer, unless they can stop the body rejecting it won't work :-(.
