Spencer has come up with many excuses for Afrezza's poor scripts, but this one gave me a chuckle.
"The Afrezza delivery method is great in concept, but has flaws in delivering precise amounts of insulin. A person may get 80% of a 4 unit dies today, and 60% tomorrow. The problem is that he has no way to know how much he got and how much he wasted. The next guy may only get 35%. Certainly people that take the time to learn can gain a lot more control. How many people will take that time? At the moment, it appears many are not willing to take the time to learn, or realize that the cost is a bigger hurdle than other treatments."

Funny, you can see if any is left. I did hear somewhere yesterday that Afrezza should not be refrigerated because it makes it clumpy. I had to laugh. It's not Parmesan Cheese-)) |

The pancreas does not release a precise amount of insulin in response to a meal; it puts out an excess, and that which is not used is promptly degraded by enzymes. The reason injected insulin has to be so precise is the prolonged process of converting hexamer to monomer (the tail), thus leading to hypos. With Afrezza, a person is effectively receiving an excess of monomer, but it is quickly degraded if not used. Osborne is full of SH**!!

I think Liane has concluded his topic quite succinctly.
Since Osbourne has complained about our usage of his drivel, and we have attempted to make this an Osborne free zone, I am locking this thread.
