@PhoebeC and @nonethewiser, the inhaled insulin would be through the mouth though wouldn't it? Get both your points though.
 
I know a handful of T1s in the US who use inhaled insulin. It’s not used instead of injected insulin but alongside it. As others have said the feedback is that it is fast to start working and fast to get out of your system which feels beneficial in certain scenarios. So is used to correct highs and some also use it before a high carb (minimal fat) meal/ snack to flatten the spike.

Personally I’m down to try any new (tested and approved) tech/ treatment to see what works best for me and makes my life easier.
 
Thank heaven the days of the Covid-19 Lateral Flow Test are (probably) over!
<evil grin!>
Oh they were just awful, weren’t they!?
