The most enthusiasm for inhaled insulin is among ignorant science reporters.

That's because injections scare the **** out of people. Let's face it, all of us when we were dxed with T1 thought 'oh no, how on earth am I ever going to be able to inject myself'. But because you don't have a choice you just get on and do it and after about a week you're not even thinking about it.
The only real use for an insulin inhaler is for those who are newly dxed and faced the same problem the rest of us did. But that's actually more of a hinderance. The longer you stay out of the jabbing game, the more daunting it's going to be. As far as I'm concerned, the best thing my nurses did for me when I was in hospital following dx was give me a fist full of syringes and tell me to get on with it.

Yes I rang London Radio today (Vanessa Feltz) as she was talking about inhaled insulin and the first thing she said was 'Are you one of the overweight diabetes people?' - can you believe that!

Wow...that's rich coming from her of all people!
