Afrezza is similar to an asthma inhaler, and it is the only inhalable insulin product on the market right now, according to Dr. Jaiwant Rangi, an endocrinologist from Cameron Park, Calif.
“It really is a game changer,” Dr. Rangi said.
Dr. Rangi said Afrezza can be used by type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients. It is a fast-acting insulin, so diabetes patients still need to take their long-lasting insulin at night, but this product helps to better regulate insulin throughout the day.
“Usually people have three meals a day, so you take Afrezza right before you eat. It peaks in the system without about 12 minutes and that’s how our pancreas works as well. So we are trying to mimic what our body does,” Dr. Rangi said.
Dr. Rangi said In the past another version of inhalable insulin was on the market, but it didn’t last. She said Afrezza is different not only in the design, but also in how it works.
Dr. Rangi said she has seen significant changes in her patients who use Afrezza.
“Absolutely – it’s quality of life and also less fluctuations. They have a better glycemic control they have less fluctuations over the day -- those fluctuations lead to more irritability more mood changes, hunger weight gain,” said Dr. Rangi.

Is it just me or are good news stories like this appearing with greater frequency? The Afrezza story grows everyday! And the one thing BP can't control is the power of the media. Whether it is the small market or large market, national, local or international, social or print...the news will work itself into the masses and those who have a stake in the development of new drugs that can change peoples lives. There is a reason it's called "paradigm shifting" or "destructive" technology. This is a marathon and not a sprint and game changing advances are won at the finish line, not at the starting line. |
