If any of you do this trying to spread the word and explain to diabetics the usefulness of afrezza, PLEASE STOP. Im starting to lose count of the number of diabetic forums where an afrezza investor has injected themselves trying to do something good, only to have the diabetic community for whom the thread belongs to rise up against that person. Diabetics don't like/need to be told by someone who has a selfish motive for themselves on what to do. Hell, anyone doesn't like that. I understand that we all want to get the word out and have as many people using aftezza as possible, but leave the diabetic forums for diabetics. They're people just like all of us. They'll figure it out.

It may be the day trading crowd doing it rather than our esteemed group of misfits here on PB.

Wasn't directed at anyone. Every thread where it happens turns out to be a disaster.

I read a few that I was even wondering if there weren't fake investors posting it was so bad...

No one can control what others do. I think it is counterproductive to an extent.
But, How else do you get their attention? A few may get curious. There is some truth to the saying "there is no such thing as bad publicity"

There is some truth to the saying "there is no such thing as bad publicity" I think what a number of us are saying is that we are not the ones that should be trying to get patients attention. Sanofi was chosen as a partner because of their expertise in reaching DM patients. Bad publicity may be better than no publicity if you're seeking your 15 minutes of reality TV fame or you're an actor with a fading career, but bad publicity now for a great product like Afrezza is simply undermining the publicity that is being put in place by Sanofi. |

Really if you feel the need to post on an outside forum, at least post the spam on ORMP's forum....I'm sure Lily would love to hear/read it having published her infamous past "attempt to ride the coat tails of MNKD" SA articles. Oh yeah btw, those shares that once touched the 30 handle are on sale @ 4.75ish...that elevator we crossed as we were going up is a lot closer to ground level  (sorry couldn't resist but truly energy would be better spent in keeping the investor attention in investor forums whether it be day traders, trolls, etc.) |

I dunno, I think posting factual information can be valuable. This keeps repeating itself on a reddit diabetes forum (reddit.com/r/diabetes) w/10k subscribers. Basically the shorts are hitting all the diabetes forums more so than the longs. Posing to be diabetics who don't want to get cancer from this new drug and that someone else should be the guinea pig. I'd rather see factual responses than these statements left unchallenged. Check this thread out: www.reddit.com/r/diabetes/comments/2vc3f3/thoughts_on_afrezza_inhaler_to_possibly_replace/groff200 - Poster for 2 years 5000+ comment karma, definitely a diabetic based on past post history talking about predisone causing DKA dmb247 - obvious pro-mnkd poster, recently created account, he's been posting in every afrezza thread with similar information, definitely a dave matthews band fan EffablyJaded - brand new poster, obviously a basher of afrezza, only 5 posts ever, compares afrezza to thalidomide mattysmitty - obvious mnkd stock investor, more posts in the stocks subreddit than diabetes, very few posts overall larkhills - Type1 diabetic, 22k comment karma, tons of diabetic posts, positive comment about how he doesn't care how he gets his insulin, it's all about cost stakkar - 29k comment karma, definitely an investor based on mnkd investment posts, has a dad w/T2DM who he's been helping for 25 years, providing guidance to larkhills about the discount card/savings In other news, this thread on the ADA forum was hidden, but now restored, however, it's locked with the following comment: community.diabetes.org/t5/Adults-Living-with-Type-2/AFREZZA/td-p/589548/page/3"Due to numerous complaints and abuse reports, I hid this thread for a couple of days. I have edited it heavily and reposted it here to the Type 2 board so anyone genuinely interested in learning more about the new inhaled insulin can benefit from the discussion. The thread is now locked to further comment, because I don't want to have to edit it again. Per our terms of service, we cannot allow any solicitations on these forums. This holds true even if a person has the best of intentions, and even if he or she discloses a connection to a company that stands to profit from a medication or device. I will warn and ban those members as needed. We tend to see a jump in registrations when diabetes is in the news. Some new members are legitimate, others have ulterior motives. Please don't jump all over them. While I appreciate healthy skepticism, I would prefer it if you left the policing up to myself and the moderators. When the suspicions and attacks start flying publicly, that only makes the thread grow more out of control." |

To follow up, I guess my point is that investors on diabetic forums quickly turn the place into YMB. I'd rather see threads locked/deleted than shorts get their way by posting flat out lies.

There is some truth to the saying "there is no such thing as bad publicity" Let's ask Brian Williams about the "truth" of the quote... Personally I wish investors would stay away from diabetic forums... |

Don't worry, those with diabetes will figure it out. You can't stop people from posting, besides if those with the truth about Afrezza don't post, all that gets posted is un-truths, half-truths or outright lies.

Hey XOXO, If you don't mind, let me add two to your list. Check this thread out: www.reddit.com/r/diabetes/comments/2vc3f3/thoughts_on_afrezza_inhaler_to_possibly_replace/groff200 - Poster for 2 years 5000+ comment karma, definitely a diabetic based on past post history talking about predisone causing DKA dmb247 - obvious pro-mnkd poster, recently created account, he's been posting in every afrezza thread with similar information, definitely a dave matthews band fan EffablyJaded - brand new poster, obviously a basher of afrezza, only 5 posts ever, compares afrezza to thalidomide mattysmitty - obvious mnkd stock investor, more posts in the stocks subreddit than diabetes, very few posts overall larkhills - Type1 diabetic, 22k comment karma, tons of diabetic posts, positive comment about how he doesn't care how he gets his insulin, it's all about cost stakkar - 29k comment karma, definitely an investor based on mnkd investment posts, has a dad w/T2DM who he's been helping for 25 years, providing guidance to larkhills about the discount card/savings spiro - Obsessive, compulsive Type 10 MNKD investor. He will not waste his time trying to convince screwball diabetics on these message board forums that Afrezza might help some of them manage their disease better and improve their quality of life. baba - Another Type 10 investor involved in just about every high risk biotech out there. All diabetes forums should be thankful that he doesn't post on their board. He would probably be banned after his first post. Bottom line here, If a diabetic isn't curious about a new treatment and refuses to take the time to investigate its merits, Spiro says, they are not worth the effort it takes to inform them. You Know, Yoda was right when he said, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to sufferng. Spiro says, suffering will lead to a diabetic not using Afrezza. I think Spiro could get banned from those boards faster than Baba. OK, Let's try this one. Optimism leads to success, success leads to happiness, and happiness leads to good health. This is what those grumpy diabetics need to work on. I swear, I have never posted on one of those screwball message boards. |

The guy on the cell phone looks like Biotec. He is probably talking to someone about MNKD. Watch it to the end. safeshare.tv/w/sLtCVDmZnm |

Watch it to the end. safeshare.tv/w/sLtCVDmZnmIt might just be that many message board diabetics want to continue to inject themselves because they enjoy being miserable and don't want to stop bitching and complaining on a diabetes message board about the difficulty of managing their disease. The fact that a new inhaled insulin is out that could possibly make their diabetes easier to handle and make their life better is something they are scared of! Perish the thought! As Dennis Prager wrote, "happiness is a serious problem!" |
