For Diabetes, Type 1 "I was a test patient for the inhaled insulin. Beware it caused severe lung problems, putting me in the hospital for 2 days and required treatment for two years! Still have lung inflammation issues 6 years later. Review their side effects warnings about potential lung issues - it is real."

For Diabetes, Type 1 "If I had to guess, 90% of the positive reviews on here are written by stock shareholders of this product. Because if they were actual users, they'd realize how inaccurate and inconsistent dosing is, which makes this drug essentially useless. Too many factors affect the dosing of this drug, which is not good when dosing a medication such as insulin, which can easily kill you if taken too much of."

For Type 2 Diabetes "All the positive reviews on here are written by paid people and MNKD shareholders. Afrezza isn't being prescribed because it's an expensive drug with unknown long-term effects on the lungs. Proceed with caution."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Where do I begin? The product is extremely expensive, and dosing is erratic. One meal I need 4 units, and the next I might need 8 (did I mention this stuff isn't cheap?). Causes a nagging cough (you are inhaling a powder into your lungs). Long-term side effects on the lungs are unknown at this point (lung cancer noted in a couple of patients using Afrezza). Not worth the hassle nor the money."

For Type 2 Diabetes "For me, it takes twice the amount of Afrezza than Novolog. - No injections needed. + You can take it anywhere at any time needed. +"

For Type 2 Diabetes "Expensive, doesn't work and can't stop coughing. Stay away. I think all these 10 out of 10 star posts are made by shareholders of this company. Quite sad."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Expensive treatment that doesn't even replace all injections. Just replaces mealtime insulin. Not basal insulin. Not worth it."

For Diabetes, Type 1 "My nephew has been on Afrezza for over 4 years now and loves it. Truly a life-improving drug. He's on a basal pump, Afrezza, and uses a Dexcom. His Endo loves his TIR/A1C."
