For Type 2 Diabetes "I have been using Exubera from its first availability, and it has greatly improved my sugar level. It's much easier than using injections. I will be eagerly awaiting its future and hope that another drug company will be interested in supplying it, as Pfizer has decided to no longer make it."

For Type 2 Diabetes "My husband and I both love Exubera. It gave him more control and gave him back his dignity. He is needle-phobic, and I had to give him his insulin shots. This also limited my freedom, as I had to be there twice a day to administer the shot. So no overnight visits to my mom unless he went too. With Exubera, diet and exercise, he was able to completely eliminate insulin shots. He also said that the shots were very painful for him, and his skin became very sensitive and bruised."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I thought it was pretty awesome stuff, but thanks to 6 (out of 4,000) old, broken down, lifetime smokers, it's no longer with us. When I found out Pfizer stopped making it, it was like a little piece of me died. Now I get to stab myself a few times a day to stay alive. Such fun. 6 out of 4,000! Really? 0.15%? What a shame. The percentage of Americans with lung cancer in 2008 was 7.3%."

For Diabetes, Type 1 "I was on a 3-year clinical trial for Afrezza's predecessor, Exubera, in the mid-2000s. My experience was very positive. I was in a fitness phase during the trial that got me up to running half and full marathons, and this at altitude in Colorado. I also was able to climb multiple 14K ft. peaks. I took a regular battery of lung function tests and had normal results in all but one test every time. Doctors never determined why for that one test, but I noticed no physical effect on my ability to push my physical limits. After returning to injected insulin when the trial was discontinued, I am considering inhaled insulin again due to the increasing unpredictability of injected insulin absorption as I get older. It may randomly take effect normally or be missing in action for 2 or more hours, which plays havoc with meals. There are no obvious signs of overuse of injection sites. The ease of use and reliability of inhaled insulin action was a huge plus."
