Like millions of diabetics, Sue Thompson pricks her finger several times a day to check her blood sugar.
When the numbers are off, she draws up an injection of insulin for yet another needle stick.
It Is a real pain.
"To eliminate the injection would be a plus in my life," said Thompson, who has suffered from type 2 diabetes for a decade.
Researchers in Dallas are studying an experimental therapy that would do just that and eliminate the injection for both type 1 and type 2 diabetics: inhalable insulin.
