I think about what insulin does to my subcutaneous tissue - lumps, scar tissue, etc. and think I would NEVER want insulin in the tiny alveoli and other sensitive tissues in my lungs. It's one thing to have bumpy, scarred stomach fat - it still serves it's purpose. Lungs are more important and I worry function could be compromised. <BR/><BR/>PS I have a great bruise on my stomach right now (from the shots I sometimes take when I think my pump isn't absorbing well). It is a really dark, beautiful purple, and I have to admit I'm a little proud of how hardcore it makes me look. But I don't usually have a lot of pain from injections, and I'm not bruising every day like you, so I'm sure the novelty would wear off pretty fast if that was the case.Bad Decision Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394225373078412615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38872818.post-20678564194881803632008-01-14T21:16:00.000-06:002008-01-14T21:16:00.000-06:00We can add Novo Nordisk's AERx idms inhaled insuli...We can add Novo Nordisk's AERx idms inhaled insulin to the list of inhalable insulin duds.
