This is exactly what I insinuated in a different post on a different forum.
Change - especially for diabetics - is super, super scary . . . especially when things seem to be “working.” I’m in the minority on this one as I’ll be the guinea pig for anything new and especially “radical”, which is exactly the way I’d describe Afrezza. Not radical in a bad way, but regimen changing. Most folks are like “what do you mean you take 4u for only 15g of carbs? How on earth don’t you go low?” Misconception and education on how something like Afrezza works is the key.
I also think that change for Endo’s is not something they all embrace. If something is “working” for their patients i don’t believe they have the time or desire to help a patient with a new insulin such as Afrezza. This is not taking a shot (pun meant) at endos as many are wonderful and supportive, but just my opinion. I’m very,very lucky to have an Endo who trusts and supports me with anything I want to try, which is exactly why I was the first patient in his extremely large practice to start on Afrezza.
