Exubera, being co-developed with Inhale Therapeutic Systems Inc. and Aventis, has been delayed several times because the companies need to analyze the effect of the new drug on patients' ability to breathe, as we reported in last week’s newsletter “Inhaled Insulin Efficacious in Study, but Lung Function Drops”.  Click Here.   As the study shows, it was effective in controlling blood sugars, but it also slightly hurt breathing ability.  Exubera, an inhalable dry powder form of insulin, is designed to be more convenient than injections of insulin commonly used by diabetics.  Pfizer will submit safety data which includes lung safety data for the drug in their application for approval with the FDA. "If you're going to be flooding the lungs with a hormone every day, you've got to make sure you're being safe," said an analyst.  SOON TO OPEN STUDIES for your participation 1.      A new feedback study for you and your patients- Using a medical/nutritional assessment survey 2.      Medical Professional evaluation study—Educational tear-sheets for your patients   This Weeks Item Revisited: Blood Pressure Does Not Predict Heart Disease Risk in Men With Dyslipidemia     Quote of the Week "If you can dream it, you can do it."
