Aged with all the time you have spent posting on this board you could have tried and perfected your Afrezza use and probably also taught at least another 100 other diabetics how to use Afrezza properly. There is obviously something more to your story than you are telling us.

I’m fine with the mystery as long as agedhippie keeps posting.

There is obviously something more to your story than you are telling us. Is he an investor? How could he be? That’s just doesn’t make any sense given the number of posts and extensive time on this board… Why would you invest in it and never try it? I’m not a diabetic, but if I was and had money in MNKD there’s no way I wouldn’t have experienced their product. NO WAY… 10 years it’s been available

"The problem with trying Afrezza is that it is hard to do. If I want to do that I will need to get a prescription. If I do that the insurance is going to cut off my existing RAA prescription"
I don't recall hearing this previously. If I'm understanding this correctly it means free samples could be really really helpful in getting people to switch.

Come on man - just ask VDex for some free samples and some free coaching and agree to post the results right here on Proboards. It could be the "pilot" study for the study VDex said they are doing later this year. IDK but I bet Sports could hook you up. I bet if we took a poll many on this board would like to see this. This one I would like you to prove - "it looks like Afrezza does no better than RAA without a lot more work". How hard is it to take a puff at meals without having to time meals 15 minutes prior? Maybe you need to take another puff 90 minutes later which seems a lot easier than rage bolusing and then take another puff before bed. Thats sounds easier to me but you can prove me wrong. What we do know is in Inhale-3 afrezza kicked butt over the RAA at meals and TIR and A1c when the bed time puff was taken. ... MNKD makes a point of giving out minimal samples because of cost - it hobbles them in competing with the others but it's their call. I am not going to answer the dosing question because I have done so repeatedly and you just ignore it. I am not sure what you answer. I don't think you answered the question on the challenge. Since Bill/VDex is not getting free samples, assume you will have no cost and the afrezza will be paid for. Are you willing to take the challenge? We post your daily CGM reports on Proboard along with your dosing and food log. The pilot protocol would be up to VDex. If so then its up to VDex to provide the professional services and this would be a great opportunity for Bill to show us how great afrezza is and do a pilot for his study. Can you answer that question?

There is obviously something more to your story than you are telling us. Why? As I have said the frequent dosing will not work for me just as Irl Hirsh said it didn't work for some of his patients, and Stevil shared one of his patients who actually got cover for Afrezza and gave it up for that reason. That fact people are unable to accept this answer is their problem rather than mine.

If I'm understanding this correctly it means free samples could be really really helpful in getting people to switch. Fundamentally, samples are table stakes. Without samples most endos are going to be reluctant to switch patients, and patients are going to be very reluctant to move.

That fact people are unable to accept this answer is their problem rather than mine. I’ve been here a long time, rarely post, just like to read people’s opinion here. I’m an investor, unfortunately, although finally in the black with some optimism for what’s ahead. I’ve read many of your posts and always assumed you had used Afrezza. Are you an investor in MNKD? Fine if you’re not, but your interest here is obviously very high and it’s a bit strange for someone if they are not invested. If you’re an investor and a diabetic, how could you not try it in the last 10 years? That’s almost shocking…

I’d be willing to bet my own ass that with the recent ADA response along with Peds etc, free samples will soon be flooding the offices of many endos. Just a hunch 😁

It would be amazingly stupid for them to miss this moment.

I'm not very hopeful about Afrezza ever becoming a big financial success. My belief in MNKD as a good investment is primarily Tyvaso and the pipeline. And even if I were someone with diabetes, I don't think my medical decisions would be driven by trying to support my investing decisions.

I would say right about now you have ZERO credibility. Judged??? I think we just wanted to see the results. We wanted you to be a fair broker. Nope. Bill has said afrezza is the greatest thing since slice bread. He put his money where is mouth is. Of course Al Mann put $1B of his own money into it. When things looked like doom and gloom I asked Mike, was Al wrong is it really not that good and he said NO, Al was right. I was willing to put my money where my mouth is. Nope, ZERO credibility.

My comments were to Aged, not Ktim, but my thoughts are the same… Yeah, I don’t get that. If you don’t believe in the product why invest? Not to say you have be a user, of course not, but to have never tried Afrezza when you’re a diabetic, a MNKD investor, and spend a significant amount of time here talking about Afrezza, makes NO sense to me. Sure, who cares what I think! Nevertheless, I don’t get it.
