NICE has issued guidance to the NHS in England and Wales on the use of inhaled insulin for the treatment of diabetes (type 1 and 2).
NICE has recommended inhaled insulin for some people with type 1 or 2 diabetes who have either a severe needle phobia or serious ongoing problems with injection sites, making injections very difficult. NICE has not recommended inhaled insulin for the routine treatment of type 1 or 2 diabetes.
