oo so there is an actual inhaler that u can get ??
 
If it's anything like the exubra (sp?) that they stopped making then I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. I would be concerned with the long term safety.

It's interesting that they are still going down this route, I'm not sure there is a huge demand for it. Although if it really peaks in that quick time it would be good.
 
I can see the attraction of needle-free insulin to people who are truly needle-phobic, but often fears are based on ideas of injections based on intramuscular immunisations / vaccinations. As well as concerns about long term safety, I'd also be interested to know how bulky the adminstration equipment is - from what I can remember of Exubera, it was much more bulky than a pen kit.
