I'm a type 2 diabetic. The only complaint I have is that there isn't enough medication for one month's supply in the package. I'm a pretty big guy (6'5", 280 lb's) and my prescription calls for 8 units 3 times a day, but there is only enough Afrezza for 25 days so I have to supplement with Humalog. No big deal but it will be nice when Sanofi comes out with more units per package.

Just an update on my previous reviews - it's now November 2015 and my A1C is now 6.8 and my weight is 265. Not too shabby. Afrezza is really working for me.

Just an A1C update. It is now at 7.0 ... I was hoping to get it down to 6.5 , so I'll continue making adjustments. My doc says for someone my age 7.0 is where I should be, but I still want to lower it a bit.

This is an update to my previous review. There is a learning curve associated with using Afrezza. It took me about three months to figure out how exactly to configure the back of my throat, flatten out the back of my tongue and inhale at the correct rate. Also, after inhaling I found it's a good idea to exhale through my nose just in case there is any excess powder left over that didn't get into my lungs (it's possible that may have a side benefit by getting insulin into the nasal cavity and slowing long term cognitive decline - JMHO.) At any rate when I got my blood test results in May, my A1C had dropped from 8.7 to 7.9 and that was while I was still trying to figure out how to use the device. Now that I have pretty much done so, I'm hoping to see a number below 7.0 when I visit my doctor in a couple of weeks.Read More Read Less
