If oral insulin can address that weakness, then it may represent an advancement, particularly for those who avoid insulin because of the way it is administered. As always, the devil is in the details!Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16774010.post-16407707881077577572008-01-18T07:44:00.000-05:002008-01-18T07:44:00.000-05:00Scott, how do you feel about the insulin Ora-lyn f...Scott, how do you feel about the insulin Ora-lyn from Generex Biotechnologies? It is being used in Ecquador and was recently approved for use in India. I would bet that both Pfizer and Novo Nordisk will be watching this oral insulin as a replacement for the failed inhaled insulin.<BR/>FlorianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16774010.post-6316945332576401052008-01-14T18:53:00.000-05:002008-01-14T18:53:00.000-05:00The huge problem with Exubera was that it was a bo...The huge problem with Exubera was that it was a bolus insulin that couldn't be dosed to match carb intake. <BR/><BR/>The other big problem probably was greed. They priced their inhaled insulin way beyond other, already way overpriced insulins, which mean that insurers didn't get behind it. <BR/><BR/>The folks in the drug industry have been able to ignore market forces for so long, many of them probably don't know what market forces are. <BR/><BR/>But the company that gets smart and prices a new insulin product LOWER than existing competitors to attract customers will make respectable profits on market share.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.com
