The issue with the ADA grading system is it has created SOC that is full of barbaric practices. The ADA's grading system is fundamentally flawed, as is most of the studies used to support their thinking (see: Metformin). I suspect Dr. Kendall’s word choices, “moral”, “ethical”, is intended to break the log jam at the ADA, which is more likely than not conflicted by the status quo and the funding that accompanies it. I am an idealist that believes man will choose the moral and ethical options when it is really important. However, corruption runs deep in this country, and our medical industry is unfortunately a prime example. The question is whether the ADA will do the right thing now, or will they follow in the footsteps of the other ADA (American Dental Association), who still, after 50+ years maintains that amalgam fillings, which contain about 50% extremely toxic mercury, "have not been shown to cause any adverse health effects" and that they "continue to be safe". (if you are interested, see iaomt.org/TestFoundation/adaamalgam.htm)Typically, once corruption is baked into systems, and big, greedy money builds castle walls around those systems, no matter how immoral or unethical it may be, it takes a very large amount of effort, cooperation and time to clean that corruption out ... even if it is barbaric. I hope this insulin challenge proves different.

Contemplating the push to partner up with a CGM company, I realized just now I may be looking at this backwards. I originally suggested that a CGM company doesn’t want to limit themselves to a single pharmaceutical therapy, but the fact is MNKD doesn’t want to limit itself to a single CGM company. They’ll want to promote CGM adoption, regardless of who makes it, the benefit of using Afrezza will be obvious. However, a co-promote would be good for all. All CGM cos should co-promote Afrezza.

Goya, this is how I see a partnership with AFREZZA and CGM companies working. Kind of like selling cars. Dexcom rep goes in to sell benefits of cgm and TIR etc... and that all this will give patients better results with Hba1c.
Then they sell AFREZZA as an upgrade to cgm, similar to selling a higher performance engine.
This is a very synergistic sell and can be replicated with all cgm companies. Perhaps give a 25% discount on first year of any AFREZZA scripts sold with a cgm.

I agree with you completely. Patients can really see how quick and effective Afrezza works when used with any of the CGM's.
