Saw it mentioned on YMB that there is a Sanofi Webcast today for docs. Wondering if any of our board resident MDs are going to be watching/participating. Wondering if this is even a legit rumour.
Can't find much of anything on Sanofi.com about Afrezza other than references to the partnership. Nothing in the partnerships section, nothing in the events, nothing of any "New" substance. Hence why I am wondering if the webcast is legit.
Thanks,
OOG

We can't hope to hear anything about Afrezza in SNY's results for another quarter at least. On a different but related note, has there been any official confirmation about that conference in Vegas from either Sanofi or Mannkind?

You won't hear anything official about a sales/training conference. And we might not hear of any official launch of Afrezza. To Sanofi, their official might be once the sales people start "educating" docs on Afrezza. The real marketing will be with the Endos and GPs and getting them fully versed on just how effective Afrezza is. Once the docs are on board, it shouldn't be that difficult for them to get their patients to try Afrezza, imho.

Well, they didn't invite me. . Hey, Liane, I'm sorry you were slighted, but we appreciate you here, so you've got that going for you! Are you in a position to prescribe Afrezza to any of your current patients? Or do you just tell them to go buy a Keurig and drink GMCR coffee? C'mon, Liane, get out there and hook some people on Afrezza!

Hi baba, I'm not an endo or primary care physician - so that's probably the reason for the slight. While I could prescribe Afrezza, it is highly unlikely I would given that I am not managing their diabetes. I have, however, told many of my diabetic patients about it's existence. So hopefully, they will go to their PCP and ask for it.

Hope you read them a forward looking statement and conflict of interest disclosure. We're making a nice little move here, always like green at the end of the day, hopefully the market will accommodate us. I've exchanged lot of my warrants (expiry, Feb 2016), for Jan 2017 long calls. There is very little premium to be paid on the deep in the money calls, for example, the $2.50's, which is the majority of the strike I bought, more or less to mimic the $2.40 exercise price per share on the warrants (which, to remind everyone, is not a 1 to 1 proposition, you need to have 1 and 2/3 warrants to entitle you to buy one share at $2.40).

Does Mannkind have to issue shares there by increasing outstanding shares? as of now .. the effective price of each share when exercised is 2.40 ( price of 1 warrant) + 1.6 ( 2/3 of 1 warrant ) + 2.40 ( purchase price of share ) = 6.40.. is that a true approximation?

Yes I have a close friend (and very large mnkd shareholder) who knows one of the Sanofi reps who was there. She is the daughter of one of his close friends, (not to sound too convoluted). He is trying to reach out to her now. Also as i posted earlier I have a relationship with one of the top diabetes care physicians in SoCal who had his Sanofi rep call on him this week. He was formally skeptical but now is amazed at how cool Afrezza is and easy to use.

Maybe Bion can do it for us with an actual k-cup like he did with the flash drive or keyless remote. So it's actual proportial size wise.
