Oralin?

Is this mouth spray insulin for real? I've read they're doing clinical trials. What about inhalable insulin? Is that viable as well?

I had not heard about Oralin, so I looked it up. It sounds promising, but it sounds like it is still a long way off for those of us in the US. It takes years before the FDA approves anything here.

I am with you on that too. To think of inhaling something into my lungs that could cause other problems such as the lungs being irritated, does not sound all that appealing to me. I will gladly take a shot any day, besides, the needles they make today are so very fine you really don't feel them going in. I am a type 1.5 so really didn't know where to post this either the type 2 place or type 1? Is either one permissable?

I post everywhere too. If Travis doesn't like where it is, he will move it for me.
