<p>A method for treating a patient suffering from diabetes mellitus comprising a programmed, portable, hand-held device and formulations used in such treatment methodology is disclosed. The programmed device is loaded with a container which includes a formulation comprised of insulin dispersed in a suitable propellant such as a low boiling point propellant. Insulin is administered when the patient inspiratory flow exceeds a preset threshold. The airflow is measured and when a threshold amount of airflow is achieved, the valve opening means is actuated and a controlled amount of insulin is released from the container. The device includes a microprocessor. The microprocessor is programmed to control the amount of insulin released, based on the particular needs of the patient. The device is electronically connectable to a device which measures serum glucose level and can adjust insulin release amounts based on measured glucose levels.</p> |
