THIS IS A DIFFICULT SITUATION TO UNDERSTAND FROM THIS PERspective.
We can see the blood glucose levels of afrezza patients on continuous glucose monitors, and they are good/excellent. Blood glucose monitors have been FDA approved. approved also for dosing.
The part of the situation I did not understand was health insurance coverage and how that works. Contracts for rebates from manufactures if sales numbers are hit. We know the large S&P companies like profits. For profit health insurance companies and the profit models.
The other part of the equation, the distribution system. patients are not allowed to decide. we are not selling iPhones. Physicians get to decide the insulin diabetes get to use. Physicians can see the blood glucose results on continuous glucose monitors. The continuous glucose monitors look pretty conclusive. So what are the physicians doing? Most of them are falling in line. Insurance companies run our medical system.
USA is willing to bankrupt the competition for profit streams in a controlled distribution system? When Spencer Osborne came on the board, the first thing I did was put up the continuous glucose monitor readings the Afrezza users have posted. Paraphrasing something like, "Spencer look at these." His reply was something like, "there are other insulins." I was a bit shocked. He did not care.
I thought the medical system wanted to help people with their dis ease. Our Afrezza users say they feel better.
The medical system wants to make money, and make it now. The medical facilities surrounding the area I live in are large. A couple years ago, I said to myself, "I have been lied to all my life."
The medical go boldly campaign. Not sure what they are selling; a belief in the medical system pharmaceutical products?
So the worlds best acting mealtime insulin being
>attempted to be< taken down for profit margins. Afrezza is a really sweet insulin. If I had the misfortune of be an insulin dependent diabetic, I would want afrezza.
Seeing the blood glucose swings on continuous glucose monitors and the fear involved with subq rapid acting insulin, the stuff looks terrible.
You all know I can post graphs to support the above, and I will spare us all. Sometimes I wonder what AF or SO would do if they/LADA or if their children were diagnosed a type one. Order alcohol wipes I guess.
