Abstract
Afrezza inhaled insulin offers a unique alternative to subcutaneous insulin delivery, providing a rapid onset to effectively manage postprandial glucose spikes with a short duration of action that minimizes delayed postprandial hypoglycemia. Although Afrezza has been commercially available for more than a decade, its adoption has been limited by lack of clinician awareness, confusion about dosing, and skepticism about its efficacy and safety. This article presents our perspectives on Afrezza regarding dosing and titration strategies, patient selection and education, and other practical considerations.
