Its 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?

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.
