Type 1 here. Late onset diagnosed 5+ years ago at 54. I've heard of Afrezza but it has never been discussed as an alternative for whatever reason by my endo and diabetic educator. I've also never seen a post in the few forums/FB groups I sometimes peruse. It has been either a pump or injections. So far I'm MDI. Dealing with insurance has been one of the most frustrating parts of this whole journey. I've avoided pumps as they just seem more complex, more to fail and trying to figure out if insurance will cover has been a mess. I don't mind the needles too much but sometimes my abdomen looks like I've been in a fight and lost. My insurance is supposed to cover 90 days but will only do 60 after they decided they won't break apart the 5 packs that injection pens are packed in. I pay a $40 deductible for mail order prescriptions, so It's roughly $120 to $160 every two months for supplies and my CGM. Probably more information than you wanted/needed. Happy to answer any questions you have. Best of luck!
