dreamboatcruise, I take 4 mg of Afrezza seconds before starting to eat each meal. I have never taken the Afrezza without my big Greek nose smelling the food on my plate. For the first week or so, I checked my gulcose 1, 2 and sometimes 3 hours after most meals. After the first 6 days or so my 1 hr was always around 130, my 2 hour around 115 and my 3 hour, around 100. My lowest BG reading since starting Afrezza was 82 after a 1 1/2 mile walk taken 2 hours or so after dinner. I have used about 150 test strips on 2 different Glucose monitors, since starting Afrezza. For the last 6 or 7 days, I have cut my BG testing down to about 3 times a day. fasting, before lunch and at bedtime. Low glucose does not appear to be an issue so far. Spiro here Just a clarification and because im a nerd. You took a 4U of afrezza, not 4mg. 4U of afrezza has 0.35mg of insulin in it  |

From what I hear about them, Mallomars may be the exception.

mnholdem, Spiro's "Lead Global Moderator" title was just a temporary one weekend position. It took Spiro less than one hour to use his new powers to get into trouble with the big guys. They corrected Spiro's mischief and then let him enjoy the coveted title of " Lead Global Moderator" for the remainder of that weekend. The Mallomars were located at a small neighborhood grocery store. They may have been a couple of years old, like everything else at that store, but a Maalomar is a Mallomar and they were quickly consumed. I got to eat 2 of them before they disappeared.

Oops 4 unit, thanks for correcting. I have probably called it 4 mg in the past as well. Thanks Liane, but $30. for only 3 small boxes of Mallomars. Spiro would rather buy 6 shares of MNKD. This is probably why Spiro has lost some weight. When a large pizza cost 3 shares of MNKD, it helps you to cut back and only eat a small pizza for 1 1/2 shares.
Spiro, not here until after breakfast with his cutie, Afrezza

About 3 1/2 hours after dinner last night, Spiro recorded a 78 on his BG monitor. That was his lowest reading since starting Afrezza. Spiro immediately celebrated an ate a Mallomar. His BG was 100, about 1 1/2 later before going to bed. It was 91 fasting today. Spiro wonders if the skeptics will say, is this the best Afrezza can do?
Spiro here, enjoying every second of his lower BG numbers.

There are far too many "logists" in your life, Spiro.  But glad they're all taking great care of you and your wife! |

If/when that Vegas party happens, there should be Mallomars catered.

Are the 3 Spiros going to meet with Sam when he's in Miami or will he just send one of them?! |

Congratulations on these results, Spiro, and my apologies for the tone of my last post (note, you were not named). I guess I’m trapped by my own background having spent 33 years in research for a large pharmaceutical firm, where going to the bathroom required Peer Review. It’s taking me a while (about 20 years) to adjust to the freedom of the internet. |

Thanks, Avogadro, Spiro was only having some fun with you. Spiro will contain his enthusiasm with Afrezza until he starts to see A1c results from some of the early users in May and June. Many people will say that for early Type 2's, all they have to do is exercise more, eat properly and lose some weight. Sure that would help, but does it make the diabetes go away? Here is an interesting article I found at Joslin's. www.joslin.org/info/will_diabetes_go_away.htmlSpiro here |
