"Some regression of diabetic retinopathy" - We have discussed this potential for years on this board and this IMO is a big deal.
Hopefully Dr. Kendall is reading this and is working with someone to get a trial on this. Maybe the sales guys should be visiting eye doctors in addition to the endos.

Looks like a letter to the EMA or some other group about use of Afrezza in the EU? Maybe insurance coverage?

To what end was the letter written? He scratched out after "...licensed in the U of K but..."? But what?

Maybe Q1cc If I recall correctly, Mike mentioned they will file in the EU after Pediatric Approval. That will give them a stronger case and maybe a much better label to maximize pricing.

The VA diagnosed me with diabetes during my outgo physical. My VA doc knew about the link of diabetes to the eyes and sent me to the VA eye doc immediately. So yes, things move very slowly. BTW, I'm stable and in a "wait and see" mode. And it is good that I can see while I wait.
But, that's mytakeonit

That will give them a stronger case and maybe a much better label to maximize pricing. I would be very surprised if Afrezza didn't pass EMA but it will not be quick. I am not really clear on why they didn't file years ago as there is minimal commitment on Mannkind's side. Once you have cleared EMA you can market the drug in Europe, but now you hit the real hurdle - the national health services. Although the drug is approved that doesn't mean a health system will pick it up. In the UK the next hurdle is NICE which decides if the benefits justify the price. This is a very mechanistic process and heavily data driven where outcomes need to be quantifiable. For example saying Afrezza gives few complications would require trial data showing exactly what those numbers are - no trial data no claim. If it gets past NICE then each regional budget holder needs to decide if they want to buy it. Just because NICE approves a drug doesn't mean it necessarily ever gets prescribed. Independently of the NHS doctors can prescribe a drug that is not approved by NICE or budgeted, it's just that the patient has to pay for those out of pocket.
