You might like to read this and it shows that it is not for everyone and there can be side effects.

It would be nice to hear from type1 who actually use Afrezza,not just marketing talk.I am sure if it is as good as has stated,we would of all heard about it.

I have seen that long time ago. I saw it the first day it came out. thank you.
You may have seen it but other posters might like to read it too.
Pretty big social media campaign going on then. All over Twitter and YouTube, but nothing from any ordinary users.Try looking up Eric Fenar Twitter . The actress Elizabeth Perkins is on it also.
Correct, but your comments were directed to me for that.
This is a public forum and that is my hope that others will see that there is hope for a better way with diabetes. It is coming in time when we won't have so much of our day directed towards diabetes and will have more time to think of other things. Maybe I want to eat that pie sometimes and not be so concerned. I think sometimes my skin will turn green from all the brocolii and green beans I eat !thank you .
On the flip side, considering no advertisement is allowed for 6 months (which I find bizarre) once the product is on the market, word of mouth, on those forums for the very people that will use the medication, seems to be a fine way to get the word out.So they are not allowed to advertise for 6 months - looks like that are paying for people to do SEO on diabetic forums.
And to everyone else wanting to know of other Afrezza users, here are 2 posters on an American Diabetes forum, posting their experiences with Afrezza.I agree. This is the one thing I am missing in relation to all the posts on here. There is "afrezzauser", a marketing pwd, and then there is little else on the Web to either agree or disagree with mountain man.
Whilst the idea is marvellous, I'd like to here from at least two or three others of the 2000 or so people involved in the clinical trials.
Well I hope you are legit, genuinely, because it sounds very exciting to me. I also hope that it's not a false dawn, as we type 1's are no stranger to them!
I've been looking for information about Afrezza, and it was that which drew me here. I'm optimistic, but that optimism is tinged with cynicism, as a defence mechanism I think!
Anyway, hello to everyone, and let's hope this is as good as has been suggested.
[/QUOTE]@mountainman I'm pretty ecstatic about Afrezza! I've been a Type 1 Diabetic for 16 years and have only ever used premixed and basal/bolus analogue insulins, so to say the least that those few American Diabetics, whom I've read about, are having great results with an inhalable insulin is exciting! I'm currently at work, but I did have a few questions regarding Afrezza, which I'll post later tonight when I get home.

I only came across Afrezza a few months ago, when I was reading a blog about one of the past inhalable insulins that was pulled from the market and one of the blog posters happened to mention Afrezza. I did a simple google search and found out about the trials being conducted in America. Its only since, I think, February that many Diabetics (including a Type 1 that I read about) are posting their results outside of a clinial trial setting, since its launch.
I'm from England, so I haven't tested this myself, but I'm glad that if the NHS does go ahead with Afrezza being prescribed in the UK I will definitely try it out and of course just like everyone else, I'm wary of side effects, so I'm glad that the Americans are trialing this first. If it happens to be released in 2016, in the UK, then we will have access to a years worth of information about any down sides.

As I said in my earlier post, I do hope Afrezza comes over here and it looks promising. I think there is a lot of paranoia out there these days about pharmaceutical financial gain. We will have to wait for NICE to make their findings, hope it's passed soon. I wonder if it will be available on prescription, this or next year.I have no knowledge of any Mountainman on some finance site. I climb mountains, simple as that.
This is typical actually of why I spend so much time in the mountains, such negativism I don't need. Do you now understand why I spend so much time in the mountains ? I have a simple goal in my life, to work hard and inbetween that, help others . We all could use that lesson.
I find Afrezza to be a genuine leap forward and want to tell others about this drug that is of such great benefit as compared to all other diabetes medications. There is no other agenda there. Please find someone else to bother with having to defend themselves when they are trying to help.
Actually, that is exactly what happens to most really new ideas - it is disbelieved, it is made fun of, it is rejected because people have a hard time to open their minds and change. They go only with what they know and the current "standard of care." Well, the current standard of care is going out the window within the next few years. Why not get on track now with a healthier life for us all ?? I see no sense in waiting. Doing further damage to the body, as a diabetic, is the furthest thing from my mind. Looking for ways to level the BG and therefore lead a better, longer and safer life is all that matters.

One poster is a Type 1 Diabetic, who himself claims he doesn't have the worlds greatest diabetes control and what I find odd is that he doesn't accurately carb count for his meals, while using Afrezza, but is still getting great results. His forum name is bsharp6669:

This is another forum poster, on that very same site, reen121, who is trialing a sample pack of Afrezza which her Doctor gave her:

Unless you have compromised lungs, it is stated that Afrezza can be used by anyone, You don't have to hope, this is the real deal. It is reality, the reality that diabetes will no longer be the main thing in life, that tight control of BG is obtainable WITHOUT THE HIGHS AND LOWS, and life will be BETTER. To me it spells freedom. I promise you I will only write facts. I know, again, hard to understand how something can be so entirely different and amazing.
Well I hope you are right, and thank you for the information.
Product name mentioned 23 times in this post - straight from the Marketing Dept.
It's a shame as this looks like an interesting product. We want to hear real user experiences.
