Thanks guys,
The Fructosamine at 225 was very interesting, since it is based more on the past 2 weeks before the test. A 225 would be the equivalent of an A1c of 5.44. Althea, Spiro is looking forward to seing how Afrezza will work for you/

Spiro, John, Mrs Spiro and daughter are back from their incredible Mediterranean cruise. So how did Afrezza perform in the face of the monstrous stress that Spiro would be putting on John’s blood glucose? 5/28 FBG 98 departure from Miami. The minute Spiro got on board, he hit the ice bar for a Pina Colada, followed by a Mango daiquiri and later a Banana daiquiri. At dinner, Spiro had a Margarita Onion soup, Colorado Lamb rack, potatoes and a piece of Strawberry Cheese cake. Only one 4 unit correction dose was taken the entire day. 5/29 FBG 136 Spiro decided on day 2 to cut back on the daiquiris, but not the soufflés, breads, appetizers, desserts or anything else. The Banana Foster and Apple Crumb with ice cream was to die for. 5/30 FBG 116 Spiro started taking 2 to 3 correct doses of Afrezza per day for the remainder of the cruise. John wasn’t too successful in controlling the out of control Spiro’s desire for overindulgence. 5/31 FBG 107 6/1 FBG 101 6/2 FBG 104 6/3 FBG 104 6/4 FBG 121 6/5 FBG 123 6/6 FBG 117 6/7 FBG 119 6/8 FBG 130 Cruise ended at 8:00 A.M. 6/9 FBG 123 12 hour flight home, no correction doses, one airplane meal, Spiro missing cruise 6/10 FBG 98 Afrezza back in control For those interested, Spiro would leave a calling card after each meal on the table cloth. Of course it was an empty Afrezza cartridge. When the waiters cleared the table they would stare at it, but never touch it. A lot of them may have ended up in lost and found. Early in the cruise, there was an officers challenge Blackjack tournament. The first seven signees would play seven hands with the highest top four advancing to the round two championship against 3 officers. Spiro successfully convinced the non blackjack playing Mrs. Spiro to take the 7th spot, to increase his chances of getting to the final round. There was no entry fee, so why not? Mrs. Spiro not really wanting to play tried to deliberately lose every hand. Each player was given $1000 in chips to start the game. Spiro went out in hand 6. Mrs. Spiro kept winning virtually every hand and was going to qualify for the finals without betting on the last hand. So naturally, she goes all in and loses the last hand on a dealer’s 21. All the people that busted out get up and leave, but Mrs. Spiro thought she would just stay in her seat and watch the rest of the challenge. They then announce the 4 qualifiers and Mrs. Spiro was number 4. Mrs. Spiro objecting yells out “Oh No”, but I lost. The Pit Boss said, well everybody else left, so that makes you number 4. Well of course, you know the rest of the story, Mrs. Spiro tries to lose every hand but miserably fails and was the big chip leader going into the last hand. Spiro whispers to her, just bet the minimum and you will win. She tells him, but I don’t want to win and bets the limit. But of course she hits a 4 card 21 and beats the dealers 20. The finalist officers and players congratulate the now rather embarrassed and red faced Mrs. Spiro. The Pit Boss then handed her the $100 prize, a trophy , $20 free slot play and a Celebrity cruise knit shirt. Go figure, would you believe Mrs. Spiro was gloating after her unwanted victory and briefly confiscated Spiro’s hat and Dreamboat Attachment DeletedSpiro here

Thanks Bradleysbest, I assure your that Spiro remains very flat headed and refuses to let things get out of control. This is getting much more difficult as Spiro's weight lose has made him even more charming than he was before Afrezza. Spiro can make just about any 80 to 90 year old woman turn her head and glance at him as he walks by. Ok, maybe they are looking at the inhaler, but it still counts as a head turn. it is getting harder and harder to ignore some of the great images that are appearing out of nowhere. Could some of them be true? Spiro here Attachment Deleted

That damn Spiro keeps spilling his guts on John's medical condition. Spiro's son and daughter help Spiro reveal John's personal data. it's a good thing Spiro is leaving town tonight, it will give John a much needed break.

NC, for sure 100 carbs would have blown me away big time. Something good is going on with your 2nd phase insulin.

The winning side will not be determined by the shorts or longs, it will be decided by diabetics. Certainly the shorts understand that fact. Should DTC work in a few months, the shorts will be trapped big time.

Today is the 90th day that Spiro has been been using Afrezza. During this period Spiro has order over 800 BG test strips from Amazon. OK, maybe he got a little compulsive here, but better safe than sorry. I have attached a copy of his 90 day spreadsheet for those interested. Quite a few people, including Spiro's PCP have asked Spiro if he feels better now that his blood sugar is so much lower. The truth of the matter is that Spiro never really felt bad before starting Afrezza, they don't call diabetes the "silent killer" for nothing. However, Spiro has notice an abundance of extra energy during the last month or so. Heck, Spiro has so much energy that he even accompanied Mrs. Spiro shopping one day last week. That can be quite an experience and very taxing on one's physical conditioning. When Mrs. Spiro goes shopping, she not only shops, but I mean really shops. She can go to some 9 or 10 stores. Some of the stores are so big that Spiro needs an in-store GPS to get around. Mrs. Spiro claims that she saves Spiro thousands of dollars by being such a great shopper. Why is it that women have to have a different purse for every outfit? Spiro has probably been whacked by dozens of her purses over the years, that's why he likes her soft leather purses the best. Ok, back to business. Spiro has lost 10 pounds according to his doctor's pathologically lying scale. The nurse refuses to tell Spiro, when the last time that the scale was calibrated. I don't know, maybe that's why she keeps trying to take blood out of Spiro's head for lab work. Spiro is going for his 90 day A1c test tomorrow morning and then leaving for his Mediterranean cruise the same night. He will not get his A1c report until returning home on June 10th. Ouch Last 13 days 5/15/15 95 96.9 5/16/15 91 96.1 5/17/15 92 95.6 5/18/15 92 95.1 5/19/15 90 94.2 5/20/15 97 93.9 5/21/15 88 92.7 5/22/15 99 92.9 5/23/15 95 93.4 5/24/15 92 93.1 5/25/15 97 93.3 5/26/15 99 94.1 5/27/15 92 94.1 John Here Attachment Deleted

Spiro says the article is mostly nonsense and that rubber foam bullets don't hurt. Afrezza works, patients love it and doctors will soon love it also or they will be losing a lot of their diabetic patients after DTC kicks in. Afrezza not only works good, it works really really good. We just need more than 1% or so of diabetics to learn about Afrezza. Let's see, what if you multiplied 99 times the latest weekly RX number. OK Liane, Spiro hasn't pumped for a long time now, so ----take it easy on him.
Spiro here, not cured of his diabetes, but he's damn sure not worried about high blood glucose anymore.

N.C,
Welcome to the board, It's great to have another Type 2 on board, who is only using Afrezza to treat his diabetes. It's sad that it took so long to get started, but it seems that you are off to a great start.

Spiro disacknowledges any ascertainment of heightened or supplementary intelligence due to his advantageous use of Afrezza.
