EXPERT'S OPINION:

Query: Could you please update me on the inhaled insulin and its availability?
Answer: Inhaled insulin is still in the trial phases. A new dry powder insulin formulation and aerosol delivery device permits reproducible pulmonary delivery of rapid-acting insulin to the lungs. Patients still must test their blood sugar levels to monitor their diabetic control. Second, this is a new treatment and with any new medication there are potential risks. Doses of insulin that are inhaled into the lungs are far greater than those given by injection. Third, inhaled insulin is relatively short acting, so an injection or two of longer acting insulin may still need to be given. With these considerations in mind, for some patients, inhaled insulin will provide a welcome relief from the need to give daytime insulin injections.

These are questions asked by the users of pediatriconcall. The answers are what the expert has to say. You can also send in your medical query by filling in the "QUERY" on www.pediatriconcall.com
