That giant muffin could mean another 4U so I'll stick with the coffee and add the Dreamboat next time.

Nc: some questions if you don't mind answering , mostly a curiosity thing -
Are you getting just one box for your script?
Which "size"? 4?8? 4/8?
Was the samples all 4s?
Are you on orals?
Were you on RAA previous?

Yes, I am asking the endocrinologist for one script. I requested a 60-4U and 30-8U combo pack. My idea is to cover a high carb breakfast of All Bran, nuts, seeds, fruit, whole milk and coffee with milk. That averages about 90 carbs. I may change up on the breakfast soon, as the carbs are awfully high though the nutrition value is great. The sample boxes are all 4U. I took one oral pill and called the doctor about getting on Afrezza. The side effects were too intimidating for my liking. Afrezza is the only medicine I have been on for diabetes and this is about day 10 or so. |

Good idea. Perhaps just have Afrezza kiosks in food courts in Malls and Airports. ;-))

NC,
Welcome to the MannKind family of assorted nuts. You'll find some salted and some roasted and one or two somewhat cracked open and out of their shells. Good luck with your endeavor and please continue to post your results on Afrezza.
Also, if possible, please join and post your results on TuDiabetes.org where I have found the members to be open to new posters who use Afrezza.
Best wishes to you,
RS

Baba,
Actually, this is a secret but I understand that Spiro is off to Athens to open the world's first Afrezza clinic just down the road and in the shadow of the Acropolis. But seriously, Afrezza clinics could be a pretty good idea.
Best wishes,
Rob

Hi Rob,
I will look into that website. I certainly like the interview with Sam Finta that they sponsored. Looks like Afrezza is taking a foothold finally. We ALL know it works. It's just a question of DTC ads and thus Sanofi spreading the word. Sounds fairly elementary to me.
Best Regards, NC/PM LGR! One more. |

Best wishes, Rob Rob, some time ago, MDT opened up their own diabetes clinic somewhere in Europe (one of the Scandinavian countries perhaps but not certain). Horizontally integrated diabetes care perhaps? |

Scotta,
Yes, MannKind and Sanofi can own the clinics, hire the doctors, sell Afrezza, crete a national brand, and take a greater slice of the profits. Wouldn't this also take charge of pushing this game changing insulin forward and help push Afrezza into greater public awareness?

"The goal of tonight’s discussion is to talk about how to improve HCP/PWD relationships to achieve better health outcomes. #dsma"
Check out tonight's discussion on "Diabetes Social Media Advocacy" Not everyone likes their endo. And compliance and the hardships of the diabetes regimen are not always acknowledged by HCP's.
It is patients who want and need Afrezza, not doctors.

Talked to a pharmacist at a Rite Aid in Bethesda, MD. He had heard of AFREZZA, but they didn't stock it. He said they could order it, however he had not yet had any call for it.

There are like 200,000 pharmacies in the U.S. Why does this still suprise people at this point that they need to "report it"? It's all numbers. Of course there's going to be many phamarcies who haven't prescribed it. |
