KC,
Mrs. Spiro probably wouldn't mind if Spiro got kidnapped, That would save her the cost of shipping him to Siberia. She damn sure wouldn't pay any ransom money to get him back. Actually, after last Fridays closing price, Mrs. Spiro tried to get Spiro's return flight to Miami changed to Siberia.

Spiro.
Happy for you! Question. Have ever invested in FEEC? Your writing style seems very similar to another poster on a different board.

tbone, . But spiro really needs for MNKD's share price to get higher than his A1c. I have to be believe we are approaching a turning point for the stock. With user feedback such as found in Sam's blog, it is easy to see why Al envisions Afrezza being the biggest drug of all time. That should easily get us back over you worst reading of 7.2. Breathe Afrezza and breathe easy. |

Spiro was starting show signs of small fiber neuropathy about a year ago. According to this article, over 15-20 million people have small fiber neuropathy. Diabetes or pre-diabetes is the most common associated condition. This is just another reason why early intervention with Afrezza should be considered. "Glucose dysmetabolism, including diabetes and prediabetes with impaired oral glucose tolerance (a glucose level 140–199 mg/dL 2 hours after a 75-g oral dextrose load), is the most common identifiable associated condition, present in about one-third of patients with painful sensory neuropathy11 and in nearly half of those with otherwise idiopathic small fiber neuropathy." www.ccjm.org/index.php?id=107937&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=362009&cHash=2e6a5924d840eef79f213dd53bb68ccfSpiro here |

Spiro was starting show signs of small fiber neuropathy about a year ago. Does this mean that Spiro is no longer showing those signs? |

I apologize for taking so long to post my early results. I just wanted to see a longer trend. I am still eating the same types of meals as before. I am 69 and stubborn and it's way too late to start eating a lot of rabbit food and other more healthy foods. I refuse to to give up Spanakopita, Greek Easter cookies and Mallomars. Joey, Afrezza 4 mg is the only diabetes medication I have ever taken. Hey Spiro, I have a friend, t2, that started Afrezza last night, I was hoping you could share a few hints on how you dialed in your Afrezza dosages, how often you tested your BG after taking Afrezza, when you took Afrezza,( at the start of the meal, a few minutes after the first bite, and how many 4u cartridges you started with). Thanks Spiro |

rockstarrick,
Spiro takes 4 units of Afrezza, immediately before starting each meal. No adjustments have been attempted thus far. Early on, Spiro tested his glucose extensively to keep an eye on things. Now maybe 2 or 3 times a day. A conscious effort has been made to cut down on portion size, But not food type. As disgusting as this may seem, Spiro has actually cut a Mallomar in half to keep his carb intact down after a big meal. In the past Spiro would have downed 3 of those delicious entrees. Spiro has been vigilant on his afternoon 1 1/2 mile walks, rarely missing a day. apparently, Spiro is now a much healthier but still a bad investor at the moment.
Spiro here, patiently waiting for other diabetics to give Afrezza a chance to help change their lives.

It is too bad there isn't more news or reviews of T2s using Afrezza.

Spiro decided to go on an eating binge at breakfast today to help Mrs. Spiro celebrate Mother's day. He found out rather quickly that he is still diabetic.
Details: Spiro consumed 80-90 carb breakfast, which included, 3 pancakes, too much maple syrup and sausage patties.
Fasting BG 100
1 hour BG 167 ouch
2 hour BG ? oops, Spiro forgot to test it
3 hour BG 94 Spiro is feeling much better now
Spiro here, Happy Mother's Day to All

As a non-diabetic I am still learning a lot from all of you. So after your last comment, Spiro, I was curious to know what exactly are glucose levels for non-diabetics who would eat a similar meal. I came across this...
"Healthy, non-diabetic people normally have blood glucose levels of less than 120 milligrams per deciliter two hours after a normal meal, rarely exceeding 140 mg/dL, according to an American Diabetes Association article in the April 2002 issues of "Clinical Diabetes." Levels return to normal within two to three hours. When you undergo a glucose tolerance test, you consume a high-carbohydrate drink or snack containing 75 grams of carbohydrate. At one hour, your test falls into the normal, non-diabetic range if your blood glucose remains below 200 mg/dL. Two hours after your meal, blood glucose should remain below 140 mg/dL. A level of over 200 mg/dL at two hours post-prandial -- which means after a meal -- indicates diabetes. Levels between 140 and 200 mg/dL indicate pre-diabetes, a condition with a strong risk of developing diabetes in the future."
Is this accurate? If it is, your numbers still seem non-diabetic to me =)
Have a Great Mothers Day.

Boom, I don't think Spiro would do to well on a glucose tolerance test. A Glucose tolerance test of 75 grams of glucose would equate to over 300 grams of carbs. That's about 2 cups of Aunt jemima maple syrup. I don't think my 4 units of Afrezza could handle that. Prior to starting Afrezza, at 3 hours following that meal, Spiro's BG would have been a lot higher than 150. www.tudiabetes.org/forum/t/how-much-glucose-in-a-gram-of-carbohydrate/9581Spiro here, Afrezza is not curing Spiro's diabetes, but it sure appears to be helping him control it better |

I don't know if you were being serious with your comment but if you were do remember that the definitions you quote are WITHOUT treatment... If you take medication for blood pressure and your BP is controlled you are still hypertensive. If your BP is borderline you are not borderline hypertensive but borderline controlled with the medication. Same with diabetes Again the aim of treatment is to have non diabetic numbers. |

Sp[iro started Afrezza on 2/26. Here is an exactly the same meal that has been charted 3 times. He can only tolerate this low low crab breakfast, because watching MNKD's decreasing share price has a way of keeping him from thinking about food.
Breakfast, 22 carb Sausage Biscuit, coffee, no sugar
Date Fasting BG 1hr BG 2hr BG 3hr BG
2/28 131 157 119 96 Started painting house after meal
3/8 105 163 145 127 Watched MNKD share price drop after meal
5/16 91 130 88 85
The numbers are only as accurate as my up to 20% inaccurate BG meter indicates, but the trend is definitely looking good.
