Excerpt:
The main benefit other than a needle free introduction into the body, of Afrezza is that it works in five minutes after it is inhaled. It has been shown to shut down the hepatic glucose production, which means the blood glucose in the body does not go up first then come down as it typically does with regular injectable insulin.
There is Still Work to Be Done
Before Afrezza can become a hit with many in the diabetic community there is still plenty of work to be done. Doctors as well as insurance companies and patients need to be educated about the inhaled insulin.
