We sit down with three distinguished endocrinologists—Dr. Kashif Latif, Dr. Michael James Haller, and Dr. Kevin Kaiserman—to discuss the last 100 years of innovation in diabetes treatment, from starvation diets to modern insulin therapy. In this episode, we discuss FDA and non-FDA-approved interventions in medical science. Please do not rely on this podcast for medical advice or as a guide for prescribing. The following were mentioned on the podcast, and you should be aware of their side effects and complete indications as prescribed by the FDA.

As with any treatment, it’s important to understand the potential adverse reactions with TZIELD. Throughout the TN-10 Study, greater incidences of cytokine release syndrome, serious infections, hypersensitivity reactions, and serum sickness, lymphopenia, and neutropenia were reported in TZIELD-treated patients vs placebo-treated patients. Most common adverse reactions (>10%) were lymphopenia, rash, leukopenia, and headache. These are not all the adverse reactions reported with TZIELD. Please see full Important Safety Information and Prescribing Information.

AFREZZA can cause serious side effects, including: Sudden lung problems (bronchospasms). In a study, some AFREZZA-treated patients with asthma, whose asthma medication was temporarily withheld, experienced sudden lung problems. Do not use AFREZZA if you have long-term (chronic) lung problems such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Before starting AFREZZA, consult your healthcare clinician.
