FDA OKs inhaled version insulin for diabetics

Hooray!

I'm not yet destined for insulin shots or this inhaler, since I've managed to keep my diet fairly balanced (despite what my girth may lead you to believe), but I know a couple whose four-year-old was just diagnosed with diabetes, and will be facing a lifetime of treatment... this could make his life just a little less unpleasant.

I must say, I've been waiting anxiously for the day the FDA approved this new delivery system. Of course, I also hope they figure out how to make the inhaled meds experience a little less like sucking the air out of a beach ball.
