RK,
Depends on your description of very expensive. The pharmacy we deal with charges $89 for a 1,000u vial of Humalog. Since the shelf life is 28 days after opening and only one of my clients ever used over 36 units a day, the average compliant diabetic will spend less than $1,200 per year for Humalog. To my knowledge all insulin needles are small gauge with different lengths available. What we get as a standard is 29 gauge with 1/2" length. The smallest I have used is 31 gauge with 5/16" length. Again, to my knowledge, any liquid insulin can be injected with any insulin syringe.
Thought I covered my opinion on competition, generic or otherwise in previous post.
Over the past three years, I am very impressed with Halozyme management and science. They have met every timeline, goal that they are in complete control of. Because of you I did a bit of research on Biodel but don't claim to know too much about them. I do know HALO can and is using over 50 years of bovine research along with its own rhuPH20 research to support the clinical developement and do not see HALO having to jump through the same hoops as Biod. Is Biodel's delivery product FDA approved? If memory serves, it is not.
Never argue with a fool, for after awhile, it becomes difficult to determine which is the fool.
