Exubera for Type 2 Diabetes User Reviews

"My husband and I both love Exubera. It gave him more control and gave him back his dignity. He is needle-phobic, and I had to give him his insulin shots. This also limited my freedom, as I had to be there twice a day to administer the shot. So no overnight visits to my mom unless he went too. With Exubera, diet and exercise, he was able to completely eliminate insulin shots. He also said that the shots were very painful for him, and his skin became very sensitive and bruised."

"I thought it was pretty awesome stuff, but thanks to 6 (out of 4,000) old, broken down, lifetime smokers, it's no longer with us. When I found out Pfizer stopped making it, it was like a little piece of me died. Now I get to stab myself a few times a day to stay alive. Such fun. 6 out of 4,000! Really? 0.15%? What a shame. The percentage of Americans with lung cancer in 2008 was 7.3%."

"I have been using Exubera from its first availability, and it has greatly improved my sugar level. It's much easier than using injections. I will be eagerly awaiting its future and hope that another drug company will be interested in supplying it, as Pfizer has decided to no longer make it."
