PR Newswire (US)
Treatment Now Available in Pharmacies Diabetes is a growing health
crisis, affecting nearly 21 million Americans. Most have type 2
diabetes - a progressive disease - and ultimately many will require
insulin therapy. Despite the availability of insulin, a proven and
effective treatment for diabetes, average blood sugar levels have
continued to rise over the last 10 years. Approximately two out of
three people with type 2 diabetes have uncontrolled blood sugar
levels even if they are currently on treatment. Many patients are
reluctant to start or increase insulin treatment because of
injections. Some delay insulin use for as long as 10 years. For the
first time, there is now an insulin that does not need to be
injected. EXUBERA, the first and only FDA-approved inhaled insulin,
is now available in pharmacies to help treat adults with type 1 or
type 2 diabetes. Taking EXUBERA doesn't require needles. SATELLITE
