Afrezza (regular human insulin) is a brand prescription drug approved for the treatment of type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. This diabetes medication is inhaled and absorbed through the lungs to manage blood sugar levels in those with diabetes. It is a rapid-acting insulin that is typically used at the beginning of each meal. It is not meant to be used as a replacement for basal, or long-acting, insulin. People with Type 1 diabetes will still need to use a long-acting insulin in addition to Afrezza. This type of insulin is not approved for use in treating diabetic ketoacidosis. 

Consult with your healthcare provider regarding the correct dosage and frequency for your medical condition.
