| The doses are actually 1 and 3 mg. I believe if I remember correctly, it is about 1/2 to 1/3 that of regular insulin. It all depends on how well your lungs are and how well you react to the inhaled insulin. So if you took 10 units of humalog, you would take 1 3 mg dose of exubera. However, the catch is....1 mg of exubera IS NOT 1/3 of the 3 mg dose. And it's not a simple number either. Therefore your doctor has to come up with two action plans for you on each dosage and you can't easily mix dosage levels. Control????? What control??????????
