• Customizable Dosing: Afrezza allows precise adjustments, enabling Danica to fine-tune her insulin regimen.

Managing Side Effects:

Like all medications, Afrezza has side effects. For Danica, a consult with her healthcare provider helped optimize her dosing regimen and minimize issues like coughing and hyperglycemia.
