You have to wonder what these two endos were paid to say such nice things about inhaled insulin considering you can only take it in two sizes?
Well, they weren't entirely nice:

The article also skimmed over the potential long-term side effects of inhaled insulin.
But they weren't entirely critical either...

You're right - it'd seem like they would have really harped on the silliness behind only being able to give two discrete dose levels. In an era where we aim to get better and better at delivering continuous and finely tuned doses of insulin, here Pfizer gives us a product that not only does not advance that goal - it goes in the complete opposite direction: delivering less finely-tuned doses of insulin at discrete times during the day.
