Hello Vanderbilt,welcome to the board and thanks for bringing this up.

As you can tell from me original post,the new trial didn't raise any red flags with me.However since I posted that I was contacted by a couple of fellow Agoracom members who are concerned by this trial.I assumed that this is in preparation for the launch.Instead of coming out with just the 10 & 20 unit cartridges they now want to add a 30 unit cartridge for those who need more insulin.It would be more efficient, cheaper, and certainly more convenient for the user.

I'm wondering what others on this board are thinking about this and why you think they're doing this and why now.As far as I can tell this 30 unit cartridge is something new.I got this from the compassionate use trial.....

INVESTIGATIONAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation System includes Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation Powder and inhaler. The Inhalation Powder comes in 10 unit and 20 unit cartridges.
