[#] 6 [Response from NICE-UK] It needs to be noted that inhaled insulin has a marketing authorisation only for adults with diabetes. [Comment] 
I can not believe this. Do you know what it’s like to have gotten over 10,000 shots? The next time you suggest to a type 1 diabetic that they must see a shrink in order to get inhaled insulin, please picture a child getting over 10,000 shots in nine years and pricking her finger as many times! And she is 15! Imagine how many shots she will have had my the time she is 50! I want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Diabetes is a relentless disease. I have spent countless sleepless nights. Even with insurance I spend thousands every year. But I would sell every thing I own tomorrow in order to lessen the pain she must got through EACH day. The next time you get a shot, imagine 10,000 shots. And the next time you get your finger pricked for a routing blood test, imagine 10,000 pricks. Maybe then you will stop and think what a diabetic child has to go through each day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
