12U Afrezza = one-thousandth of one gram or approximately two ten-thousandths of one teaspoon. (.000214286 of 1 tsp)
That's weight measurements and doesn't equate to volume or what it feels like to inhale it. I can't agree. A 12 unit dose contains 30 units of insulin. 1 unit is equivalent to 0.0347 mg of human insulin, and 30 times .0347 is about 1 mg of insulin. Then you have to add on the FDKP. Anyone know how much FDKP is in a 12 unit dose of afrezza. Plus there's some other stuff as I recall.

This isn't intended as FUD, I'm just curious. Can someone who uses afrezza look at how full a cartridge is? Is there a chance that they can't make a really large dose because the plastic cartridge is not large enough? Ok. I just now pried open a 12 unit cartridge. It is easily less than 1/2 full. Maybe 1/3 full. The 4 unit cartridges are practically empty. I have difficulty feeling anything when inhaling a 4 unit. When using a 12 it is much easier to feel something going down your throat. Incidentally, having dumped the 12 units onto a small plate I then used a drink straw (cut in half) to inhale the 12 units. It will work just as well as using the Dreamboat. And to think the FDA gave a Complete Response Letter to MNKD for changing the inhaler. Cost MNKD a year or two and maybe a billion dollars. Another crooked tactic to stall Afrezza. Here's what happened after I inhaled.. THRU a STRAW.... 12 units dumped on a plate at 2:17 EDT: BG at 2:15 166 BG at 2:29 156 BG at 2:39 148 BG at 2:49 139 BG at 2:59 135 BG at 3:09 127 BG at 3:18 124 BG at 3:30 121 Those results are pretty good FOR ME, a highly insulin resistant T2. Again real happy the FDA set MNKD back a year or two for coming up with a smaller, simpler, BETTER inhaler when using a straw works just as well. AND the FDA won't let MNKD tell the truth about the speed of Afrezza AND the fact that it does NOT require refrigeration. I don't bother refrigerating mine.
