Study: Inhalation Insulin is safe for children in doses specified with meals

Researchers at the American Diabetes Association in Chicago said that children with diabetes who inhale the specified insulin doses with meals achieved only good results such as those who injected insulin under the skin. To regulate blood sugar, type 1 diabetics usually require a long -term insulin injection once a day, as well as an extra injection of fast -working insulin in meals. The use of inhaled insulin (Africa) has been approved by the “man Caind” business for adults, but not yet for children, who have encouraged the study. “The inhaled insulin is the fastest types of insulin available,” says Dr. Michael Holler, who led the study of the University of Florida, in a statement. The researchers said that the inhalation composition had no negative consequences for the lungs of patients. 230 Children with Type 1 diabetes, between the ages of 4 and 17, who participated in the experiment, either received “Africa” ​​with meals, or the usual insulin injection with meals, for 26 weeks, and everyone still received basic insulin injections. The researchers found that the examination of hemoglobin (a WNC), an indication of the control of blood sugar over the past few months, was similar in inhaled and attached insulin. The inhaled insulin was also associated with a lower weight weight and a slight increase to the degree of preference for the child and parents.
