I've heard of it. It seems to work if you're not too concerned about
how much insulin you get.

we've heard and discussed it some in the past.

A few q's for you:

1. Why do you think you're T2?
2. what meds are you on?
3. When were you diagnosed, and what's your history since?

What meds are you on? Are you on the highest dose possible? Has your Dr.
tried different meds? What type of diet are you on? Do you exercise? You
can't just take a pill and expect it to fix things.

I think Exubera is a solution looking for a problem. It's going to be
expensive. The dosage is going to be less predictable than injecting. It
might cause lung problems. I would rather keep injecting than be a guinea
pig. Just my opinion, of course.
