I just read an article by the lead researcher and that is his claim. my problem is, unless it helps control by a lot, to me, it’s not worth the possible lung problems that were reported in earlier trials.
There were no problems found in the trial. What was found that 4 people later died of lung cancer. Two were smokers and the other two wasn’t known. The drug has been used by a select number of people after Exubera, the first inhaled insulin, was taken off the market by Pfizer due to poor sales and they have been fine. Detailed scans of their lungs after 5 years showed no issue what so ever. The lung cancer excuse is bogus. And lets be honest, there are many diabetes drugs out there that cause a lot more side effects than a non verified lung cancer scare. We inhale a lot of crap in our lungs every day. The science of what makes Afrezza works shows it doesn’t stay in the lungs at all. Do some research on what Technosphere is and how it works and you’ll see the lung cancer argument is baseless and something that a liberal would use just like they have done with global warming or anything they want to destroy.
