RESULTS—Overall treatment satisfaction (0–100) increased by 13.2 ± 1.1 units for inhaled insulin (baseline = 63.3 ± 1.2) compared with 1.7 ± 0.8 for subcutaneous insulin injection (baseline = 64.1 ± 1.2, P < 0.0001). All 12 satisfaction subscales favored inhaled insulin (all P < 0.01), and effects did not vary by age or sex. Despite similar baseline-adjusted end point A1C for inhaled (7.7 ± 0.1%) and subcutaneous (7.9 ± 0.1%) regimens, quality-of-life scales of mental health, symptoms, health status, cognitive functioning, and adherence barriers during treatment were more favorable for inhaled insulin (all P < 0.05). Greater satisfaction was associated with fewer barriers to insulin adherence (rho = −0.78, P < 0.0001) and a greater reduction in A1C (rho = −0.18, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS—Treatment satisfaction was substantially more favorable, adherence barriers moderately lower, and quality of life moderately higher for inhaled compared with subcutaneous regimen. It remains to be demonstrated whether these patient-reported outcomes will translate into improved adherence and glycemic control.

While the results are likely still relevant, it's worth pointing out that the survey was done in 2007 and seems to be based on patients' experience with Exubera, not Afrezza.
