Exubera Flop
This article was about how the inhaled insulin never took off in the diabetic community. Basically there was an increased risk of lung problems, the product looked like a can of tennis balls, and needles really are not as bad as they used to be, so people decided not to use it. It was designed to make diabetic life easier, but apparently it was already easy enough without a monstrous, hideous inhaler.

These appear to be valid sources for your topic. I'm surprised that the inhaler treatment never took off. It would seem to be better than having to stick yourself on a daily basis. Look again at the format for bibliographic citations.
