One thing I've learned from my Type 1 wife is to never get excited about this sort of stuff. Her father was a Lilly executive and they tried to get her to use the insulin nose spray back in the 80s. She passed, and a few years later it was pulled from the market as it was destroying the user's nasal passages.

She was also a beta tester for a blood meter that didn't need disposable test strips. It got pulled by the FDA.

I always root for advances in diabetes management, or dream of dreams, a cure. But I'm not expecting it.
