Afrezza Pros...and Cons

After 3 months of inhaling insulin, here are my thoughts.

Here are all the links covered in the video:

Great synopsis - well done. Helps all Diabetics.

Great review, well done! Keep spreading the word, maybe someday more people will be aware of this product!

Hey, Dana! Love this video! I am going to start Affrezza soon and wanted your input! You are the best!

[seshadrisridharan]

Love the helium balloon analogy! Great video, thank you

[davidlilienthal]

Great information. Just took my first hit one hour ago. Gonna keep my omnipod for a while and see how it goes.

Hi Dana!
Are you still using Afrezza and liking it?

[sandrametcalfe]

Please keep us posted on your progress with Afrezza.

Thanks for the video. I am in Australia and we don't have this yet. Are you still using Afrezza?. How long now have you been using it ?. Have you noticed any other cons yet ?. Lungs still ok ?. Thanks so much for sharing. Do more :-) .... I am going to be the reason that ozzies get a chance to try this ... it's my mission now. By the way I am not T1D, I am parent of an 11yo girl with T1D, 6 months in. I know if it was me ... I would be inhaling for sure !!!

Hi, I am picking up my AFREZZA today, I cant wait!! I'm type 2, and use Levemir atm. I also have the freestyle Libre 14 day arm monitor and reader...
Also, is there a mens tshirt available like yours??

[steverino]

Dana, I wonder if you might be able to show us how you make a 2 unit Afrezza pack. My attemps have gone awry.

Hello! I know numbers are Diabetics life; but Diana, do you remember what your a1c was before the 6.3? I have been a 7.something for the last almost 9 years. I can’t get any lower than that and this week I go see my endo and hopefully start the insurance ball rolling.

Just found this channel for the first time and it is awesome. Have been on afrezza since it first came out over 5 years ago and its the best thing that has happened to me. I always say how much of a shame it is that it is such a great product yet not many t1ds know about it or trust it. Like you said, the smalls sacrifices in lung function (If there are any) for a much higher long term quality of life is an easy trade off.Makes managing life much easier. I too also take tresiba but I take mine at night, was curious at to why you take yours in the morning and if you feel that makes a difference? I never thought to split them up into 1 and 2 unit cartridges, will have to give that a try. Thanks again for the great video.

Is this insulin available in Bangladesh? Are 12-year-old children of type-1 diabetes eligible to use inhaled insulin?

[shineeloveroverload]

Afrezza can only be kept for 10 days at room temperature

[lukepalmisano]

How long can you keep the cartridges out of the refrigerator? I see you have them in a bag, but when do they start to go bad?

[gabeenogueira]

Hi, How do you divide your afrezza cartridges? I would like to try it. Do you pull out the white plastic part of the cartridge? Or do you empty the Full cartridge and fill the other by the hole on the blue part?

[drdwgmd]

Any lung issues? Thinking of switching to this but scared of lung long term scarring overtime

[xplicit]

Is any of this recommended for T2? I mean the Afrezza, Dexcom 6 and could you tell me which watch you are wearing to connect to your Dexcom?

[m.ksunny]

im thinking of getting on this but want to do more reserach cos i have been on shots for over 15 years...😓 this seems all too true

[guadalupelopez]

So scared of switchin to afreeza but i know i really want too i been on pump for 2 years been a type 1 diabetic 15 yrs just dont know how to start with doctor and making it seem its a good choice to go.
