I have been a Type 1 diabetic for 58 years. After 52 years of thousands of injections, I became needle-phobic. The OUCH you think is minor to you is not minor to millions of others. I cut down on my insulin shots to one-a-day with Lantus and Exubera inhaled insulin until they took it off the market. I thought that was a great improvement at the time.
Spent 5 1/2 years in a research study trial using AFREZZA inhaled insulin. I have not had to take an insulin injection during those 5 1/2 years. Believe me, I know that is not a cure. But for now it is the best out there for those of us struggling physically and emotionally with injections.
AFREZZA is now available [with a prescription] in local drug stores. And no, I do not work for or have stock in Sanofi.
