Seems like there is so much more potential with a AFREZZA/ VDEX combo but nothing seems to happen
They could be the STARBUCKS OF DIABETES… I guess if something could be done between them
It would have happen , it’s been a while.

So it seems to me the physicians probably don’t want to deal with the learning curve of AFREZZA , and baby sitting a good portion of the patient’s But a question I have after all this time / is there any financial benefit/ incentive doing it the more cumbersome way with AFREZZA ( follow the money) can something be done to entice them to prescribe or is that unethical… subjective… I guess ..but the world we live in . Never mind unethical that's illegal!  |

How’s it illegal ? It’s and FDA approved drug not being used off label. Now that we know SOC IS SUBJECTIVE BS . It’s just business! Incentives are fair game . Illegal is being lazy and not giving what’s best.

Illegal is being lazy and not giving what’s best. You cannot incentivize doctors to prescribe a drug. This may be my fault, but that's what I thought you meant by entice. |

Lenny - VDex has an issue with afrezza. It costs too much. The cost issue has to be fixed. MNKD has provided lots and lots of free samples to VDex but that does not solve the cost issue and prohibits rapid expansion. Either MNKD has to get insurance coverage for afrezza or they need to reduce the price. To get the insurance coverage they need to be SoC. |

We are going strong lenny. Trying for a Vdex with in a 90 mile radius of each other in New Mexico. After that, it’s on to Texas:-) |

The thing with the SoC is that there is no single solution. The important thing is that Afrezza has been listed as an option alongside the other options. The SoC has never specified a single treatment because people are different and what works for one person may not work for another.
