news3lv.com/news/videos/pilot-bob-halikcy-talks-about-flying-after-diabetes-diagnosisThis URL is to a recent local Las Vegas television interview with Bob Halicky, the first airline pilot certified by the FAA to fly while using insulin. Bob uses Fiasp, a Deacon CGM, and Afrezza. I brought Bob’s story to MC’s attention, and he asked if I could coordinate a Zoom meeting, which I did. On the Zoom video we’re MC, Kendall, Bob, a woman who is the nation’s leading expert on helping pilots resolve medical issues with the FAA, myself, and the attorney who is the subject of this thread, who is now working to get his pilot medical. He and Bob are good friends. There are five similar pilots now certified by the FAA, with a couple hundred more waiting for approval. The Zoom meeting was scheduled for an hour and it went about an hour twenty. Bob’s story is fascinating and he talked extensively about the convenience of Afrezza, particularly in the cockpit, but also in public settings. He and the subject of this thread both swore by the life-changing combination of Afrezza and a Dexcom CGM. I am hoping that MannKind connects Bob with diabetes influencers who can share his story on podcasts and in their blogs. Ask not what MNKD can do for you. Ask what you can do for MNKD. You did it well! Thanks from all of us!
