My neighbor who is a Type 1 and takes 4 shots a day, told me the other day:
"Melody, my doctor just told me they are going to market a once a week insulin shot". I said 'when??" and he said "It's coming out in 2009". I am extremely impressed if this is true. I googled "once a week insulin injection", and sure enought, this came up, I clicked on it and here's the site. Now I do not know if this is what he was referring to, but I thought I would share!! Let me know if you've heard anything about this. http://www.prpharm.com/productPipeline.asp?id=25

the inhaled form was a total flop.
Perhaps this one will do better.

From what I read about the inhaled one, it just didn't sell. It worked, but it just didn't sell!!! That's what I read (have no idea if this is the truth).
But just imagine, all the type 2's taking one shot a week!!! My oh my, I could go for that!!!
