Alternative for insulin injections

Now new alternative for insulin injections is painless
inhaled insulin (exubera), its breakthrough offer for
diabetes patients. patients breathe in powdered
medicine using inhaler before meals .The powder
turns in to liquid in lungs , where it's absorbed
and filteredinto the blood stream. A mouth spray
is already being used in ecuador.Patients sprays
the drug into mouth using device that looks like
an asthma inhaler. Major benifits of these products
is the speed at which insulin starts working .
This is becouse diabetic's blood sugar shoots
high after eating , and insulin is needed to bring
it low .Neither will replace shots ,which many
people needs to set baseline level throught the
day, but they may lower the number of shots
required
