It’s not very often when you read about a new breakthrough drug that can really help a diabetic control their Blood Sugar. Diabetics until now only really had the option of multiple daily injects to deal with their diabetes. But now a new drug by MannKind is giving a diabetic a choice on using their product which is inhaled in a very discreet keyless remote device or the needle injection that is painful.

Personally I like the idea of the inhaled insulin and see this a game changer for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics.

Has any Freeper's tried Mannkind Afrezza yet? I think it is distributed by Sanofi.

“can really help a diabetic control their Blood Sugar”

how does inhaled insulin control blood sugar better than injections?

Too bad the Dupont Drug Nazis will shoot you for being self sufficient and growing your own BS lowering herbs!

They would kick in the doors and seize the lands of our Founding Fathers today!

I posted about it when it launched back in February.

It it a literally a game changer when it comes to fighting the disease. It’s not a cure but many are achieving better BG numbers than those who do not have diabetes.

Check out www.affrezauser.com or #afrezza on Twitter for first hand accounts.

The drug still has an uphill battle as Sanofi is not rushing to market it yet and many endos are skeptical. I believe the company wants to educate doctors first to show its true benefits that were not clearly shown during the trials of the drug.

Amazing. I hope it works for everyone. Injecting is no fun at all, though I have a decent pain tolerance and no fear of needles.
