I can see how it’d be very efficient for type 2!!
I was on omnipod with fiasp. For the first week(2pods), I stayed on omnipod for basal and used afrezza for big meals. It was also nice to have the pod insulin for smaller meals and fatty/protein meals that spike a couple hours later.
After the 2nd pod I switched to Tresiba for basal and just afrezza for meals, for fatty meals, I just take a smaller 2nd puff abt 1.5 hours later or when I start seeing a rise.Because it’s such fast action times, if I take a puff when I’m 120 diagonal up, if flatten out at 140 n come back to 120 an hr later. it’s also out of my body within that time, n I don’t go low 6 hours later.
Both regimens have their benefits and are working well, so I plan on switching as needed.
I was able to get pretty good control with my previous regime - a1c was 5.9, but it was a lot of hard work. Biggest was that my sites would stop absorbing (lipohepertrophy) arnd 48 hrs and I’d end up needing a lot more or rage blousing. I brought this up to my endo a few times and they turned me down because they knew nothing about it. They finally agreed in December and started taking training, etc. But since they’re so new to it, I signed up directly on get afrezza website for an online consult with a physician and they were able to process the prior authorization and ship everything within a week.
