I believe Pfizer stopped making intranasal insulin....
I could not find a product available in US currently. There was some problem with patient acceptance and delivery of the insulin was difficult to control and caused irritation etc. There has been discussion about a Type 3 diabetes existing in the brain. The brain makes insulin, surprisingly and this may fail. Implicated also in PD. You may also find this article interesting: http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/ind...rticle&id=2582

Wow, it was all over the news here today. Didn't have any idea the nasal spray wasn't made any more.
Thanks for the link. Very interesting indeed. |
