Well, I'm a Type 1 and I've been injecting insulin since I was nine months old, so I'm probably not the right person to ask about getting used to it. I've never known what it's like not to have needles stuck in me.
I take anywhere from 5 to 8 shots a day, depending on what my blood sugars are doing and what I'm eating.
I hope this inhaler will provide you some positive change. Best wishes.
A friend is a Type 1, although not diagnosed until she was 19 years old so it was a serious adjustment! She is in her mid-20s and got an insulin pump about 18 months ago. Her doctor says it's keeping her blood sugar a lot more stable than injections were.
She says she's a lot freer in meal timing and it makes handling exercise a lot simpler. She still has to check her blood sugar every few hours, and probably always will. But novel insulin delivery systems could really make a difference for diabetics.
