Stevil, Thank you.. it seems like we need a grant and a partner. Big money..and BP You're welcome, sports. I didn't necessarily mean to ask me... So many on here cannot fathom why doctors won't prescribe Afrezza, but like matt said in his post today, can you really blame them when Afrezza statistically isn't as good as RAA by the current metrics used to measure effectiveness of insulin? The problem isn't with doctors or "the system". The problem is with the data. That falls squarely on MNKD's shoulders and no one else's.

The CC tomorrow will relate certain things and we will digest them in light of our goals and follow through accordingly.
It's possible Mike may say, "Fresh glib Johnson mattes a liberally clamped-down ratchet foster.".
But I doubt it.
He'll say what he says.

I really liked Stevil and Matt's commentaries. Those are the most sober and detailed posts I've seen in a long time.
I do think the cream (Afrezza) can rise to the top because of what PWDs who use Afrezza post about their experiences which appear to me to be overwhelmingly positive, retention concerns notwithstanding. I also agree that waiting for Afrezza to "go viral" based on quality of experience will likely take years.
To do what Stevil and Matt have outlined is needed is plausible and what Sanofi was signed on to do. I think large clinical trials are not practical based on what we know about Mannkind's budget. Perhaps Dr. Castagna can pull another UTHR rabbit trick (with Deerfield?).
I don't expect tomorrow's earnings report to address these issues and concerns, but we'll find out soon enough.

Agree with the sober posts because they underline the fact it's going to take time to change the minds of Doctors. Al rushed Afrezza to market with effed up FDA trials. Mike did say that the India trials would be set up more like we would have liked them to be set up 6 or 7 years ago. I'm not sure about CGM involvement, but it will be a large trial and a chance for Afrezza to hit it out of the park. And, we just have to supply the drug, I believe.

My opinion is Al (Dr. Mann) did NOT rush Afrezza to market with effed up FDA trials. Al and Mannkind shareholders suffered through grossly unfair treatment at the hands of the inmate Martin Shkreli and the FDA. Neither the Advisory Committee which overwhelmingly recommended approval of Afrezza nor the final FDA-designed trial should have been required.

My prior post reads like I was slighting Al. Twenty years of development can hardly be considered rushing it. Your statement is a better way of phrasing it. However, either way it's stated, the FDA screwed Afrezza, Mannkind the company, investors AND the diabetics they were sworn to help.

The last quarterly was 3 months ago ... but, reading this board makes it seem like it was 3 years ago. The CC will be rehashing all that has been said and posted. A confirmation that we are heading in the right direction and will start to move at a good pace. That I will be returning from Las Vegas and buying up all the loose shares available. (Oh, that is my thoughts and not Mike C's.) Hopefully, we will have a clearer picture of UT partnership and developments in Brazil and India and the moon, cheap advertising using billboards and social media, One Drop ... bluhale ... technospere ... canabis ... molecules ... tents ... huge bank accounts ... But, that's mytakeonit

We will find out in a few minutes if mytakeonit's prediction of share price boosting news with this CC is true. The wait is almost over!

Well one shoe just dropped based on the re-fi 8K. Let's see if any others drop during the CC call. The re-fi just stole the show from the CC and quarterly results. Nice deflection.
