Hi @mountaintom it's not approved by the NHS, although has been in the US as far as i'm aware.

Hi @mountaintom,
Only know of it through reading.
According to the company the side-effects include cough and asthma and caution in use with people with asthma.
One study suggesting asthma occurs about 40% more often in TIDs than the general population (4.42 per 1000 vs 6.49 per 1000) ( Medicine (Baltimore) 2015 Sept 94 (36) Can any health professionals comment ??
So I am unsure how many would be suitable to try it and the cost is still unknown.

I believe @tim2000s has tried it?

THere was another user who posted recently about using it, but I now can't remember their name for the life of me.

I tried it, yes, and it was very effective - http://www.diabettech.com/diabetes/afrezza-and-easter-eggs-a-different-way-to-spend-easter-weekend/. @brendan101 is a user and has managed to get it through the NHS periodically.
