Would you want individuals that are easily swayed by anonymous posters as "investors" to begin with? Or do you prefer "strong hands" which in turn drives up the short interest "meter" with their ongoing hope of an anticipated large dilution? I would prefer a shorter leash on certain members. Ahh, I see, but that's what separates this forum from an SA, it's not selectively edited. However, if one routinely disrespects the rules here, they will disappear. I respect how you feel but I still believe this is one of the most well moderated forums available IMO. |

Let me be blunt. Could some members of this forum be causing harm? Specifically, hypothetically if some new investor is looking for info and they stumble to this forum looking for details. But, sadly they are meet with only people who jest about living in a tent or participants who r diabetic but have no INTEREST in seeing Afrezza being successful. Aged, mytake and others, criticize away. Would you want individuals that are easily swayed by anonymous posters as "investors" to begin with? Or do you prefer "strong hands" which in turn drives up the short interest "meter" with their ongoing hope of an anticipated large dilution? |

I am wondering the same thing Clement. Mathematically it doesn't seem possible, but on the other hand it always seems to be this way with MNKD. I don't fully understand the dynamics of this, never having shorted any stock personally.

You hit the nail on the head Liane! Just back from vacation in Thailand...managing BS couldn't be any easier than with Afrezza. Where it really came into play and stood out like a champion were the days of having cocktails, I have to get better at connect 4, those cocktail waitresses really kicked my butt and if I didn't carry the best in class insulin with me at all times my BS would have kicked my butt as well 🤣😉👍 Joey - can you test it out for us and post the CGM graphs? sayhey24 not sure what you want me to test out, I generally take 2 boluses like Liane mentioned but that also may be due to the fact that I take a proton pump inhibitor (Nexium) which greatly reduces my stomach acid and slows digestion accordingly. If you are really interested in seeing my graphs I can send them to you directly if you PM the best email for you. Typically my endo downloads the data off my libre when I have my quarterly visit, I'm really looking forward to my next one as I suspect my results to be pretty close if not non-diabetic numbers, I have this dialed in pretty well now mnholdem, correct what happens in Thailand, stays in Thailand....I have the best wife/life partner in the world, this was a "guy trip" she told me to go have a blast "just don't bring anything back", that is how you stay married for 35yrs. when you have a partner like that . There were 18 of us staying at my buddy's hotel. 8 of the guys were a group from MN. they got back and one of them texted to the group chat he was snowmachining in 20 below at Crosslake lol, he so wants to go back to Thailand. The best part about the trip was not seeing any BS from any of the US networks, we watched the playoffs at 3am. and 6am. great time but it was made so by the convenience of having my Afrezza and meter on me at all times whether at the beach, pool, visiting the tiger and elephant sanctuaries...out on a boat all day visiting the Phi Phi islands, etc. For those that have never been I highly recommend it, great food, people, beaches, massages, nightlife. It will be an annual mainstay for sure. |

No manufacturer can compel the ADA to do anything. STAT, while helpful, did not exactly provide earth shattering results as the conclusion was pretty much predetermined. Physicians look to "levels of evidence" when making treatment recommendations and if you are not familiar with the levels, in the United States these are: Level I: Evidence obtained from at least one properly designed randomized controlled trial. Level II-1: Evidence obtained from well-designed controlled trials without randomization. Level II-2: Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies, preferably from more than one center or research group. Level II-3: Evidence obtained from multiple time series designs with or without the intervention. Dramatic results in uncontrolled trials might also be regarded as this type of evidence. Level III: Opinions of respected authorities, based on clinical experience, descriptive studies, or reports of expert committees Some countries have additional levels of evidence but the framework is similar. STAT was not a controlled trial since only the patients on the Afrezza arm were allowed to adjust their insulin dose following the meal in response to the CGM. That makes it a Level III study at best, and that is the least persuasive form of evidence. If MNKD wants to move the needle they need to sponsor a large randomized mullti-center controlled trial where all patients are given the opportunity to adjust their insulin dose after seeing the results from a glucose meter. If the results from that study demonstrate that time in range is statistically better with Afrezza than other RAI products, or if Afrezza has similar time in range but with fewer hypoglycemic events that require a visit to the ER, then they will have a compelling argument. The two big problems with STAT are these: 1. The cohort sizes were too small. In order to get the necessary statistical power, a proper study would require 300-500 patients over a longer period such as 90-180 days. 2. Allowing the Afrezza patients to adjust their dosing in response to the CGM results, not once but twice, stacked the deck against the comparator. Both arms must be allowed to adjust the dose after seeing the initial results for the trial to be credible. Some will say that patients on injectable insulin will avoid multiple needle sticks or that they will have too many severe hypo events, but that is precisely what the trial needs to show. If so many needle sticks is a major issue then patients on RAI will not be in range as long, and if the second bolus causes hypo events that should show up in the data as well. Opinions are not Level I evidence; data from a well-designed trial is evidence. Level I evidence, preferably with some parallel economic evidence showing that Afrezza is cost effective, is what it will take. Again, common sense, I will take my lead from the qualified chief medical officer who was a former head of the ADA and chief global scientist for one of the leading BP's in the space rather than someone that trolls the boards with ulterior motives and recommends via direct messaging to people to sell their shares thank you. |

The Libre will be fine for a lot of the T2 population and it will be affordable for many without insurance if necessary. I know the alarm on Dexcom's CGM is important for T1's regarding the overnight situation but the last thing for a lot of T2's to worry about is going low overnight on Afrezza, just the opposite with their livers producing sugars while their sleeping for those higher fasting BG readings in the am. There is also the benefit of not having the cost of the strips, etc. as well and not having to carry meters and the equipment around. More importantly is compliance, call me a big wuss but those finger pricks suck all day long. Funny thing on a side note, Spiro took a pack of cartridges out and showed me how he rounded the edges on the blister pack to eliminate the edges being an annoyance while in pants pocket....I said I already just pop them out and keep them in my pocket individually...I had to laugh to be honest as that was the only thing that originally bothered me as well so that was solved pretty quickly, imagine that being the ONLY thing that bothers some lol...can't wait for the email letting me know my Libre is ready at the pharmacy |

I've never seen these combined for over 1500, may Liane knows but I started looking about a month ago and this is steadily increasing....I have to believe shares keep transferring from shorts to longs as the SI meter continues to run higher in sync and the float stays relatively stable (other than warrants getting exercised from time to time)...today feels like a bit of covering from the heavy amount that was used the last couple of trading sessions...the sell off in the biotech ETF's led to some shares getting thrown out with the bath water but the short volume still had to be decent. Hopefully the sale priced shares ended up in strong hands...I know I got some Users Online in the Last 24 Hours 5 Staff, 259 Members, 1,256 Guests.Read more: mnkd.proboards.com/#ixzz3YcpmBJYUUsers Online in the Last 24 Hours 5 Staff, 270 Members, 1,340 Guests.Sooo...price is down and interest is up...a bit contrarian wouldn't you say, normally you would think if shareholders are selling then interest would be diminishing...of course, I'm sure some of this has to do with the YMB failings lately but the same would hold true in that case regardless.

Those FUD and Basher articles work wonders don't they....what's funny is how predictable they are as they come in coordinated waves, along with certain increases in certain poster activities (other than mine today lol).....I like to think of it as they ramp up the activity just prior to certain moments like Sam's interview, quarterly earnings, conference calls, etc Read more: mnkd.proboards.com/#ixzz3ZTm4fVQ4 |

My pizza guy is a hard working individual who I have known for quite a few years, back in 2012 we were talking and he knew I invested in the markets...he asked me at the time, hey Joey if I gave you 10k to put away for my daughter who will be going to college in about 5 yrs. or so what do you think we could turn it into...I said what if we could double it by then, he said really? Well the next thing I know he sets up an online account and wires in 10k...that particular account today sits at $41,780.91, I say that particular account because since then he has opened another two custodial accounts which are up on a relatively comparable basis. So what's the point you ask, the point is not to "brag" about how much of a return I have been able to manage for him (btw, I have never asked for one cent as I love this man like a brother), the point with reference to the title is that not one day has he ever read an article or message board. He gets up and goes to work and believe it or not never even checks his account unless I come in for a bite and show him on the mobile app where his account stands. I never really thought about it until another member on this board who knows both of us and can vouch for this post said to me after a typical roller coaster day "you know what's beautiful about the whole thing....he has no clue, he just goes about his life and never reads any of the BS about this". Yes he is shielded from the likes of Adam F. and tarot card readers and pedophiles etc., Josh Schimmer? Tourboohoo? Karp to him is a fish...etc.So why write this post? Well, today's wasted space from Adam F. is a day I wish I also was ignorant to this POS of an excuse of a human. I am not one to let the emotions get the best of me as over 15 or so of my friends, family, etc. who have followed me into this investment would tell you. So here is why his particular article hit me the way it did today, he states that "the blame of course lies with Mannkind" with reference to "their bloated" balance sheet. Yes he is blaming MNKD for the expenses incurred by two CRL's (which he terms as rejections btw) while he knows full well the circumstances behind those CRL's. Then he quotes 1 I repeat 1 analyst which allays to his thesis of valuation and where the price is and where he suggests it is going. So what about the pizza guys that read his drivel and reap substantial losses along the way due to erroneous and irresponsible journalism. Who's looking out for them, that's what I want to know! I hope CREW really pursues this issue until he has to pay some restitution and do at least 5yrs. of community service. Btw, the same person who woke me up to what a great life my pizza man has, that same person has been donating to CREW on an annual basis....thank you G! I thought today was a good day to bring back this oldie but goodie, why one may ask? Because when the phone-o-meter hits half a dozen calls in one day it reminds me of my pizza guy who remains oblivious to the noise etc. Now in another thread someone asked if "longs are concerned" because it has been a year and the price is down 60%...well by the same token, SI is up 50% and climbing....so my answer is I would probably have been long gone if SI was down with the s/p but just the opposite and one of several reasons why I'm here as the rubber band continues to get strettttttttched. It wouldn't surprise me to see the 4/30 SI near or at the century mark either....the shares that showed up as available to short were IMO from the sell off in the overall biotechs not from any substantial covering (yet)... although getting closer as each day passes again IMO, and why you may ask? because it usually happens when the phone-o-meter starts ringing off hook, now excuse me while I go get a nice chopped salad at my pizza guy's place |

I will add shares from my Fidelity Dividend when I get it this week. The quintessential dividend reinvestment plan....if it stays here for a couple of weeks (which I highly doubt btw) nice price to reinvest those interest dividends while adding to the borrowed shares meter |

Case History Because of HIPAA privacy rules, Spiro can only reveal certain aspects of his medical condition. Spiro is a charming 69 year old 5'9", 199 lb, white male. He has a family history of diabetes and coronary artery disease. Because of two recent hospitalizations and numerous CAT scans, MRI's and various Ultrasounds, his hospital considers him a valued customer. Approximately 5 years ago, Spiro's A1C creeped to 6.0 and his primary care doctor immediately began annoying Spiro, by calling him a diabetic. Spiro's A1C continued to slowly increase until about 7 months ago when his A1C reached 6.6. At the time Spiro's weight had risen to 215 lbs. After a serious warning from at least 2 of Spiro's doctor's, Spiro started walking 1 1/2 miles per day and tried to lose weight. His blood work was repeated on Feb.12. Spiro and his doctor were surprised to see that after losing 15 pounds and routine exercise, that his A1C has increased to 7.2. That would indicate an average glucose of 160 during the prior 3 month period. After a brief discussion, Spiro left the office with a 3 month Afrezza prescription. The office visit was not all bad news for Spiro. Total Cholesterol 119 HDL 37
LDL 57
Free PSA 1.2
Before starting Afrezza, Spiro did some control testing on various meals, taking starting glucose, 1 hr, 2 hr and 3hr readings. Spiro's 1 hr glucose reading would vary from 163- 189, depending on the number of carbs. The 3 hour reading would be between 132 and 142.
I have listed below, Spiro's Fasting glucose levels for the past 8 days.
2/26 134
2/27 135 Started Afrezza at BK
2/28 131
3/1 119
3/2 115
3/3 114
3/4 113 Check this out, 119- 2 hrs after dinner, 84 - 4 hours after dinner, 88 - 5 hrs after dinner
3/5 100
On 3/1, Spiro was hesitant to believe the early results and went and purchased another True Test glucose meter and 2 more vials of test strips. Both meters and all of the test strip boxes are within 1-3 points of each other.
Very disappointing....Spiro was only able to move the s/p 8 cents ....on a more serious note, extremely happy for you and expect to be right there with ya shortly!! Of course the quack woman would tell you your doing yourself a disservice because you will just be eating a lot more gyros and baklava |
