Depends : Lantus (insulin glargine) and afrezza are two different insulin. One is long acting, the other is fast acting. One covers you the whole day, the other covers your neals or correct your high numbers. Talk to your doctor about the appropriateness of each for you. Good luck.

Diabetes care: The medication you need is a function of your diabetes. Type 1 diabetes does not make enough insulin and requires insulin daily. Type 2 diabetes has high blood sugar but there are many (~ 12) different diabetes related medicines, including insulin. Depending on your ability/willingness to eat more wisely you may not need any injections for diabetes control. Discuss with your doctor.
