A new Insulin introduced for better' health " Dr.Asis Mitra" ODM Clinic Kasaba

We have a new year gift for all type 1 and type 2 Diabetic patients who are on insulin therapy.it is inhaled insulin which can be a replacement of conventional injectable insulins.a long wait is over and it is a immense good news for Diabetic patients.

 Many of our Diabetic patients are afraid of pushing insulin injections themselves because of the pain.though modern insulin pen are very much easy to handle and having less painful due to thin needle.so initiation of insulin is delayed,as a result Diabetes remains uncontrolled.so numbers of diabates related complications are on the rise notably eye problem, kidney problem, nerve problem,heart problem etc etc.Hope inhaled insulin using same technique as inhaler used for Asthama or chronic bronchitis will solve this problem and many diabetes patients will start it accordingly to guidance by their Diabetalogists,so that Diabetes can be controlled easily and diabetes related complications can be avoided.

There are two types of insulin - one is basal Insulin or long acting insulin which is pushed at bedtime to control fasting blood sugar, another is prandial insulin pushed before meal to control post meal blood sugar rise.inhaled insulin is the replacement of prandial insulin but not basal insulin.it is very easy to use for patients also. Only downside of this inhaled insulin is that it may not work in patients having asthma, chronic bronchitis, smokers and any chronic dieses involving lung because absorption of insulin will be erratic and patients may not get desired glucose control.
