I know many that have given up cable and prefer to binge series on Netflix and other similar forums. It would be great for the series to be available the same way once it is complete.

Greetings from halfway through my vacation! Up here in Canuckistan, I can neither watch nor stream the show. Given the anticipation on this board, I'm surprised there isn't more discussion about episode 2. Maybe just lower posting rate over the summer? The second show. A reality show. People with problems. Charles got everyone to Jamacia. Margie is happy. Has trouble seeing now. Jerome, seemed to zero in on the fact that the man who does not have legs smoked, away from the group. Jerome had a heart valve replacement a few years ago. Charles Mattock handled his complaints about the other individual well. On a personal note, Jerome irritated me. The man he was complaining about has no legs below his knee. He is addicted to cigarettes and smoked away from the group. Jerome seemed to have no compassion. (Heart problems aye?) The lady that is a blonde, is the largest by size has difficulty moving. She seems very nice. When Charles showed the food they were eating, some chicken, was it thai chicken? and then the vegetables, the large lady said, she was not familiar with this type of food. I do not eat what he was serving generally, so yes. I was surprised how little she served herself at mealtime. I wondered if she had snickers stashed in her luggage. It will be a change for her I would imagine. (As you can see, the bitch in me comes out.)
DAY 1
3:45 p.m. Check-in
5:30 p.m. Dinner or small meal
7:00 p.m. Settle-in, meet and greet
8:30 p.m. Evening meditation
9:00 p.m. Lights out www.reversedyourhealth.com/the-retreat
So far the show has been, get the people there and tell us the problems. On all these reality shows I guess there are problems between the people. At least there were on Dr. Drews Celebrity Rehab.
One season of Dr Drew celebrity Rehab is the only reality show I have ever watched. I can not watch stuff like survivor. Being a Mannkind investor, is "Survivor."
I FF to the commercials this time. and banner 'this segment brought to you in part by'... but they don't even say the word Afrezza. Not sure why they dont? I am finding Body Bizarre more interesting and worthwhile to watch though admittedly a little difficult too. And I'm big on Survivor...the only other reality show i watch. Love it actually. I think the commercial isnt great. But very good for a first time out of the box. Especially being able to show actors inhaling on the dreamboat (has that name been changed?)

I would say that this should be compared to Biggest Loser and not Survivor. Biggest loser at its peak was 10.4 mil and Survior was 29.8 according to wiki. I think it is human nature to want to see drama, conflict and deception. MTV The real world is a great example of entertainment value versus educational. Television plays a larger role for entertainment and less for educational purposes, so logically Reversed must entertain more than educate to make a lasting impression on the public I would say. The problem is that diabetes is a serious issue and once you make it entertaining with conflict,drama and deception then it would distract from the message of helping people improve.

This show is definitely not comparable to the biggest loser or survivor. The biggest loser was entertaining. This show is lame. They're trying to create some drama, but we're not very successful. And Charles whispers the entire show - drives me crazy. I couldn't watch more then 15 min. It won't last. I'm a big believer in Affrezza....but I doubt this show does much to get script numbers up. Hopefully they have something else up their sleeve.

Are you a PWD? Perhaps it is of more interest to those that are?

I see posts on where to watch Discovery Life. In case people who do not have cable or satellite are not aware of this option... I dumped cable in favor of DirectTVNow streaming service. It is sold through AT&T retail stores or on line. I was one of the early adaptors last year and got 100 live channels for promotional rate of $35 a month. They were also giving away free AppleTV units with every 3 months subscription, which I took advantage of. I like the service, it is lean on functionality at the moment (no recording) but there are a lot of content on demand already and it will evolve. For me, not having to deal with clunky cable boxes is a big plus. No taxes or rental fees either. Your subscription allows watching anywhere including mobile. I took my Apple TV on vacation. That was not possible with cable. Discovery Life channel is a part of my line up. www.directvnow.com/thegoodstuff?ref=EDSCDNCDB00GOO7QP&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImOPwt6Oq1QIVElYNCh1mwQsnEAAYASAAEgI8n_D_BwE

I am not a PWD. You're probably right! (I hope)

It's true that he is not the most dynamic speaker but have you ever attended a medical conference and listen to some of the speakers? If it weren't for the graphics on the display scene, half the attendees would be nodding off...

Has anyone attempted to monitor response in the diabetic community at large? I've checked multiple forums and blogs and not only can't find anyone that has seen an episode but can't find the show even mentioned. I even checked "fudiabetes" which is supposed to be a forum promoting afrezza, and couldn't find anything.

I just set my DVR to record it from now on. Maybe just doing that will bump their ratings.
