Measure
Afrezza
The test product was defined as Afrezza \[insulin human\] inhalation powder administered using the Afrezza inhaler. In addition, subjects took their personal basal insulin while enrolled in the study. The first dose of Afrezza was based on the dose of subcutaneous rapid-acting analogue (RAA) insulin that the subject would normally take for the standardized meal, converted according to the guidelines provided in the current Afrezza U.S. prescribing information. The second dose of Afrezza was based on the dose of subcutaneous rapid-acting analogue that the subject would normally take for the standardized meal, converted by multiplying their RAA dose by 2 and rounding down to the nearest Afrezza cartridge size.
