Abstract
According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, well over half of the population with diabetes receives inadequate care. Research indicates that providers as well as patients are reluctant to begin subcutaneous insulin therapy until absolutely necessary. Human inhaled insulin powder has been shown to be safe and efficacious when used as preprandial therapy in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. HIIP gives nurse practitioners a new option that may improve their patients acceptance of insulin therapy, and improve glycemic control. The purpose of this article is to expand providers' knowledge and comfort with using HIIP as an alternative to injectable insulin.
