Note there were limitations to this pilot study

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.

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.
