[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 800965, member: 30007"] [USER=167280]@mountainman[/USER], from what I can see and read of afrezza, you don't remove the need to carb count. It remains exactly as it did before, and equally "intensively". Sam seems to be a type 2 rather than a type 1 diabetic. Afrezza is not a smart insulin. By ingestion via the lungs into the blood directly it acts more quickly than subcutaneous injections (understandably). In the meantime, Novo are currently market trialing a very fast acting insulin aspart that I assume is designed to compete with this. In addition, the clinical trials were not without side effects. Across all the type 1 and 2 participants, 27% developed a cough (for many bad enough to cease use) and in the clinical trials lasting up to two years, 6% of users suffered a decline in forced exhaled volume of more than 15% whilst on average there was a decline in lung performance. Yes it works, but at what cost? The numbers reporting side-effects was high compared with injectable insulin. In addition, Hypos were not eliminated and were encountered by 67% of type 2 patients. Yes it is an interesting step on the insulin application road, but it is not a miracle solution. [/QUOTE]
