A member asked:
Is there a form of insulin delivery that does not require needles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not available: Currently Insulin can only be delivered with a needle. Companies are working on an Insulin patch on the skin, nasal inhaled insulin, but these are not yet available. Previous attempts to use inhaled Insulin into the lungs resulted in lung damage. 99.9% of people have no problem injecting Insulin with a needle since needles are so small, they are virtually painless. Try it once and you will see.
