"According to recent prescription data, there are still under 500 Afrezza users in the country. Clearly, Afrezza sales will need to begin to acquire some momentum by the end of this year and into 2016."

Wondering if that 500 number is a typo.  Since last week's TRx is 585 according to Symphony, a conservative estimate of the total Afrezza users would be 4 to 5 times of the TRx of the week, which means somewhere around 2,000 to 3,000 Afrezza users. Alternatively, 10-12 times of the weekly refills will yield a similar estimate. Based on the refills, I would estimate the current Afrezza users to be around 3,000 considering the effect of the samples and that many users have not started to refill yet. Wondering if Rob meant to say under 5,000 Afrezza users in the country.

Hey guys, sorry I did not see these messages on this forum yesterday. I was very busy and also spending what free time I had in responding to comments at SA. Yes, it was a type-o and it was fixed. Thanks for your input.
