Originally, Alfred Mann wanted the trial to be for 7-17 year olds, but the FDA insisted that children as young as 4years old be included. Perhaps Al was concerned that 4-6 year old might not understand enough to inhale correctly.Good luck, team! After reading reports of adults not liking the feeling of inhaling "dust", aiming issues, and recommendations about drinking water before/after using, I can see younger kids having a real problem with Afrezza. At 4 years old, they're just learning how to blow their noses. Suppressing the cough reflex could be too much to ask Your killing me Wilfred....!

We're on our honeymoon with regards to Mike being appointed CEO, but the reality is he was hired 3/14/2016 so he should have already left a significant imprint on the company. I want to see scripts double in the next 60 days, and double again in the 60 days following that. If we don't see a significant uptick in scripts all this good news doesn't matter. I hope Mike has a new plan that's different (better) from the old plan. "Reversed" airs in July and even if the cash situation is tight the new TV ads can start popping up on the internet. Once the DTC campaign starts in earnest, I'm convinced shareholders will see results by way of increasing scripts. MannKind has done virtually zero consumer marketing thus far. Afrezza sales will quickly become patient-driven once ads are aired, which could happen before "Reversed". We have no idea how large a market that program will reach, but the internet is everywhere.

The internet just seems so watered down .. television still has some credibility left to it .. hope they end up with the capital to go that route .

Apparently people on this board think doctors won't prescribe because they are afraid mannkind won't be around very long to sell afrezza.
Solution if legal. Treat doctors like investors. Show them the commercial. The reversed website. The in office advertisements. The Brazil agreement. The upcoming Middle East agreement. The planned trials.
Scripts are not going to go up all of a sudden due to July marketing. How long does it take to make an appointment at the endo ? Months?
