"There is hope. There are different kinds of insulin that people with diabetes can use every day to help them stay healthy. This booklet gives some basic facts about insulin. Use this booklet to help you talk to your healthcare provider about the kind of insulin that you are taking."   |

I love this we are all over this booklet. Awesome! (1) You can't miss Afrezza on the first page of available insulin and the point that its Inhaled and (2) there is only ONE company out there that can take advantage of the cool little inhaler option presented in the info-graphic.

Lastly...and this point I believe will not be lost on the potential consumer is the subtle contrast of delivery methods. If one is scanning through this booklet which of the 5 delivery methods look the least off putting, draconian or sinister? Hint its the one with the lips!

Does the label state that pregnant women should NOT use Afrezza? I thought they were excluded.
This publication is for women and pictures a pregnant woman.

not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Doesn't exclude due to potential benefit cover.

the fetuses pancreas does work. if the mother runs high, the babies can get big. gestational diabetes. The mother gives the baby oxygen and glucose through the umbilical cord blood supply. I am not sure the baby needs the phase one. When you think it through? afrezza during pregnancy. ...... |

Makes sense to me that the first phase would be important to be maintained. the fetal pancreatic architecture |

Evidence of more baby steps courtesy of Harryx1 from StockTwits: childrenwithdiabetes.com/insulin/Afrezza is not yet “approved” for children. But there it is. As Itell would say: Hmmmmmmmm |

And right at the top of the list where it belongs. Slowly but surely they seem to be making progress. Just wish we knew what Mike C knows...

As Itell would say: Hmmmmmmmm I liked the fact that Afrezza was in the table at the top of the list, but very dissapointed that the 1st FAQ did not even address inhalation. Common Questions Why do I have to inject insulin? Insulin must be injected because it is a protein. If it were taken orally, the body's digestive system would break it down, rendering it useless. It seemed like a big disconnect for me. And if this info was intended for use by children, why wouldn’t there be an “*” next to Afrezza explaining that it is currently in Phase II trials for pediatric use but approved for adults? |

I'll bet this 501c3 is open to feedback. I'll have a look. Suggestion/comment has been submitted. |

Yes have to agree. With two ways of receiving insulin it should now read why do I have to “take” insulin. |

Better something like "Why can I not take insulin orally?" and the answer revised appropriately. |

As Itell would say: Hmmmmmmmm Because it is approved if you can get a script for it off label. The pharmacy fills the script. They don’t care who the script is for, you could be 10 years old, or pregnant. You could have asthma, you could have COPD. You could smoke. I haven’t met a pregnant person on it yet, but I know several people in all those other categories. |
