Discussions tagged “inhaled insulin”

Afrezza is an inhaled insulin powder that has been a game-changer for some type 1 diabetics in controlling post-meal blood sugar spikes. It works quickly and is absorbed similarly to naturally produced insulin, but it hasn't been without controversy. I've seen mixed reviews online and would love to hear from others who have tried it, including those who have had side effects. I am particularly concerned about the lung function issues. My pulmonologist recommends regular monitoring but I've heard from others who have stopped taking it after experiencing throat irritation and cough. What have your experiences been like? Would you recommend it to others or not? Let's share our stories and insights!
