Afrezza video review

Unfortunately I have a slightly uneasy feeling about Afrezza.

As far as I am aware it is not licensed for use in the UK and not available on prescription here. NICE were comsidering a technology appraisal in 2014, but I‘m not sure if that ever happened


Afrezza has had a troubled history, and was dropped by Sanofi who had taken it on to develop it, but didn’t see a future in it.

Some of the posting and social media review (plus associated forum activity) around it seems very hard sell and almost as if those involved are part of some kind of pyramid scheme. I have no evidence of that - just observing the behaviours and social media interactions I’ve seen around it.

EDIT: Found this which was a NICE TA possibly earlier (due to be reviewed in 2009). Inhaled human insulin

1.1 Inhaled insulin is not recommended for the routine treatment of people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus
