Insulin Inhaler

NYTimes.com: People with diabetes often inject themselves with insulin at mealtime to help control their blood sugar levels. But a new, palm-size device may let them discretely inhale a dose of insulin instead of using a needle.
A small inhaler and insulin powder created by the MannKind Corporation, a drug developer in Valencia, Calif., are before the Food and Drug Administration for marketing approval. The insulin powder, called Afresa, is inhaled into the lungs, dissolves there and then travels into the bloodstream.
