Inhaled insulin IS NOT being prescribed for ANYONE in the US with type 1. So don't be upset at all. The problem is there isn't an exact enough dose control, therefore it's hard to make sure you get a decent amount. With insulin injections, you know what you are giving and one way or the other, it WILL work (unless you are on a pump and pump into scar tissue.) But with inhaled insulin and a cold, you may breath 10% of the insulin at one point or 90%. And you have different levels depending on the season and temperature.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
