[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 996856, member: 30007"] However, and I'm in the middle of writing a blog post about it, be aware that it is highly unlikely to appear on the NHS prescribing list for most people. It costs twice as much as Apidra, which is in itself an expensive rapid acting insulin, and the Phase III trials that have been conducted haven't shown the dramatic improvements in Hba1C with the use of Afrezza that would need to be shown to justify the cost. To many clinicians, it will be seen as a luxury item rather than a necessity, and the current NHS outlook in terms of prescription is "Uncertain". Given the difficulties with getting hold of Tresiba, don't expect Afrezza any time soon in the UK. [/QUOTE]
