According to Frost & Sullivan research titled "US Diabetes Drug Delivery -- Patient Perspective," the future of diabetes treatments is in the convenient drug delivery methods. Type-1 diabetic patients are most likely to prefer a twice-a-day oral dosing regimen, while type-2 diabetic patients are also expected to prefer a twice-a-day oral dosing regimen or a twice-a-day patch.

MannKind's leading drug candidate, AFREZZA®, is an ultra-rapid acting inhalable insulin that (if approved) will allow diabetes patients to inhale AFREZZA before a meal. MannKind is trying to show the FDA that the drug does not cause dangerous side effects to a patient's heart.
