Message: Novo Nordisk to Begin Phase 3 Studies....

So the "new" drug going to Phase 3 trials late in 2013 is FIAsp - a new formulation of insulin aspart with faster onset than NovoRapid (NovoLog in the US). The new study will be called "Onset". Here is Novo's announcement:

Here is Novo's monologue on NovoLog:

What I have not been able to determine yet is how different FIAsp is from NovoLog. What I do have from these and some of my other sources are the times to max concentration in the bloodstream (T max):

Afrezza 12 - 17 min

Exubera 55 min

NovoLog 52 min

human insulin sub Q inj 145 min

So even if this FIAsp is "faster", it has a long way to go before it infringes on Afrezza.
