This article doesn't address the human factor... At all. A1c in three 7.5+ range should be anathema to any health professional. Consequently, on first examination, one would wonder why one would even bother with Afrezza.
Let me explain...insulin in this study, was calculated and given at the same time. WRONG protocol for Afrezza. Experience has taught us that you inhale Afrezza 15 minutes into the meal. It is so fast that it will be out of one's system before you finish the meal, if you treat it like regular insulin. Additionally, it would seem that the researchers did not take into account that should the subjects bg still be elevated 2 hours after a meal (perhaps large or long meal) one can simply inhale another 4 units of Afrezza. You can't inject another 4 units of traditional insulin without fear of hypoglycemia.
No one using Afrezza has reported a significant hypo that I am aware of and there is plenty of experimentation going on that may even question if a hypo is possible. Consequently, subjects could use more Afrezza in order to bring their glucose under 7...or even under 6!. No hypo worries. Real non-diabetic maintenance!
Study asked the wrong questions.

Yes, faster is better, esp. when hypos don't result VERY SAD post from stocktwits prntscr.com/9jxw39 <<sad and angry about lack of awareness/availability in Canada. Listen up, Sanofi. |

"A1c in three 7.5+ range should be anathema to any health professional." Suebeee, isn't anathema one of the conditions for which Afrezza contraindicated?  Happy New Year to you! Keep up the great posts. |

I think the answer is obvious: Faster IS better if you get the timing sufficiently right. If you take it too early (or late), it may not be better.
