I am a medic in army hospital, about 35% patient with DM in my ward. A 19 girl was diagnosed DM yesterday, the doctor gave her pens insulin. I try to tell them about inhaled insulin, they really excited. But unfortunately i still lost my big money on MNKD. So somebody can analyses why no advertisement so far, what is the SNY's plan?

Hope this makes sense to you and anyone else wondering the same, think of the UPS commercial "logistics" lol...in other words you can't put the horse before the cart and why would you ramp up advertising when you don't have the supply to meet the demand and cause all kinds of havoc which could cause more problems than it's worth...although with social media what it is today, it may end up happening anyway. MNKD built an award winning state of the art manufacturing plant all the while spending tons to get the product approved...they only have the capacity that was built from budget pre approval/partnership and if you think about it took a huge gamble (albeit a confident one) should adcom had not seen the light of what was in front of them. As it were, the naysayers/shorts were ridiculing the monies spent/dilution at the time insinuating that it would never come to fruition...(see "hard to believe" post on YMB back at the time) ...fast forward to today and the time and money now is being spent on educating the distribution network (physicians/endo's/nurses/etc.) along with capacity expansion so when they are ready to advertise they can handle both the demand and have that distribution network prepared to handle the questions and/or concerns that will come with it. Unfortunately, for those that are excited and those that have passed due to hypoglycemic events this should have been the point the company would have been at a couple of years ago had it not been for outside forces along with inside forces at the FDA, again in my opinion only based on historic and factual events. |

If you are in the Army then you should surely understand that the VA and Gov will most likely be the last to see Afrezza due to the red tape of getting any meds in the Gov system. |

TriCare, the military healthcare system for active duty and military retirees, carries AFREZZA with minimum co-pay for 90 day supply. BTW: Most Army medics, at least the ones I have known during my twenty-three military career, had a better grasp of the English language.

Tricare has it for active duty 0.0. And retired members for 16.00. Such a great deal. It's just beginning and it will take time for education to Drs, hospitals and patients. Just think what it will be in 12 to 18 months.

English is my biggest shortage. But i don't know why u say that, maybe u retired too long to remenber Military values, or maybe never. If my English let you guys feel uncomfortable, sorry, i am learning still. |

Sometimes we make assumptions of posters that aren't accurate and I think it's best to give people a benefit of a doubt. Good luck in the military and hold onto MNKD!!! 2 yrs from now $6 will be far in the rear view mirror!!! |

My apologies for being insensitive to your comments regarding your English. My military values are just fine and have not changed over the years. Good luck in your military career and mastering of the English language.
