Many Afrezza users have reported rapid drops in A1c

Yeah, but in the only clinical trials that compared Afrezza to rapid acting insulins, Afrezza did no such thing.

Straight from the label:

Absolute HgA1c reduction:
Afrezza : 0.21
Rapid I : 0.40

% of patients reducing by 7% or more:
Affreza: 13.8%
Rapid I: 27.1%

And there is your problem. Tweets do not counter clinical trial data.

Afrezza avoids the needle, for sure.But is it better?

It has a faster/narrower spike. BUT, to take advantage of this, the user need to know how to use it.

Perhaps a few users have got it down, and do better. But that does not work for the masses.

MNKD really needs to figure out how to work with the new electronic glucose monitors to solve this issue.
