Just so everyone knows, there's no requirement to reveal identities here. Many have legitimate reasons to remain anonymous- and that's cool . It's usually possible to tell if someone's legit just by how they write and present themselves.

Here is the public domain corroboration. Sanofi Breakthrough 2.0 - MGM Las Vegas I spoke to Matt last week (Wed 9/16/15), and he confirmed that SNY was having training in Vegas this week. He is currently in Europe at the EASD. Will be back on the 25th. It is my understanding that the SNY reps that call on GP's will be having their own training soon. I believe that David Kliff was spreading FUD claiming that 2/3 of the reps that were training this week were being asked not to attend. SNY made a decision to have the GP reps, the 2/3 in question (700) have training at their own meeting, since they already had a meeting coming up. mnkd.proboardsDOTcom/user/336/recent#ixzz3m2XMiwLU By obamayoumama For those who were at BT 2.0, remember the first All-hand session and motto "Train the Trainers". IMHO, Docfrezza's info has been highly accurate. He also posted on YMB under the same pen name. BTW, Here is the mock Flop card: Sny to renew their effort on Label Improvement, Sales, and Marketing Afrezza together w/ Toujeo (cross-selling to Endos and PCPs). Don't miss Sny Meet Mgmt tonight Thurs 11/5, 11:30 P PST, 8:30 CET Fri 11/6. Lakers thanks for the public domain corroboration but more importantly authenticating Docfrezza's non-speculative comments. One of the worst days for this stock ever (new 52 week low) and needing some validation.

Thanks to those who have posted kind words. I said it on YMB and will say it here, I will not reveal my identity. I am a PCP. I will not and have not posted anything here as fact without knowing it as fact. For any who chose to not believe me that is your choice. My identity will for now remain anonymous. When there is more information from the real world that I feel is beneficial to those here I will post it.

I'm appreciative of all factual data no matter how anonymous. I would rather have people report the truth(s) without their actual identity revealed than have constant lies and rumors. I applaud you sir for letting us longs know we are not alone with our belief in Afrezza and more importantly innovative technosphere technology.

It's usually possible to tell if someone's legit just by how they write and present themselves. Liane, now you tell Spiro that he didn't have to post his picture and identity. Geez and then you deleted his best looking picture with the red hat on. I wonder how many people have figured out Ashiwi's name? Spiro here, yesterday after eating a big lunch with 4 units of Afrezza at 12:00, a nasty leftover Halloween candy bar at 2:00, had a BG test of 79 at 4:00. Good stuff that Afrezza!

I found out some new information today. This is not related to me prescribing Afrezza to patients, it should go without saying that I am doing that. What I thought each of you would find interesting is that the Toujeo/Afrezza representatives are in Las Vegas right now and are coming home later today. The pure Afrezza representatives are not there, they were there a few weeks ago. While in Vegas the representatives are getting new training specifically on Afrezza. I do not know the details of this new training. The question I would ask each of you to ask yourself is why would Sanofi be doing Afrezza specific training at this point in time if they are planning on cutting ties with Mannkind in the foreseeable future. I just can't see that happening based upon the information that I was given earlier today. I was also told that the representatives are going to get some updated training on the pulmonary function studies in the next few weeks. I do not know the details regarding that at this time. Anyway, I thought that most of you would find this information to be enlightening. I wish I had more details but do not. The information that I have been given would tell me that Sanofi at least for the foreseeable future is planning to continue promoting Afrezza. The rumors are that the TV ads will start early next year but this is nothing more than a rumor from the representatives. We shall see. As always Doc, thanks for posting.

Boots on the Ground, Taking Pulse of Sanofi A&T Reps. anonymous, Nov 4, 2015 at 2:02 PM They said Afrezza will be the next Aspirin. The Launch Outhouse is in full throttle mode. The role-playing is relentless as Challenger Model is the best thing to come since The Ten Commandments. You have 1 quarter to right the ship or you will be PIP ed out of here. anonymous, Nov 5, 2015 at 9:13 AM Anyone else feeling like Vegas is a little nasty? MGM is smoke filled, food is not good, and everything's just dated. hate to complain, but literally I think someone went to the hospital yesterday because they couldn't breathe in this place! anonymous, Nov 5, 2015 at 9:24 AM The big groups were quiet. There's drama in every region. Reps and ABLs are starting to leave. Everyone at an RBL level and above either doesn't see what's happening or is choosing to ignore what's happening. At least we're finishing early today. cafepharma.com/boards/threads/whatz-up-in-vegas.587583/Regional Business Leader (RBL) and Area Business Leaders (ABLs) anonymous, Oct 12, 2015 at 3:37 PM cafepharma.com/boards/threads/tell-the-truth-how-many-hrs-does-abl.586484/Just as it gets old for you have the ABL ride with you, it gets just as old for them to ride with reps. You should actually look at this as a good thing. If they are there all day for two straight days, they are probably onto you about something. If they are there 3 or 4 hours and are causing no trouble in your territory why complain? When I was an ABL, the first day would be about 9 to 4 or so and day 2 was about 9 to 12. The rep appreciated this even though I was helping them schlep lunch in offices, carrying samples and drop offs and pretty much staying out of their way. If I wasn't allowed back, I would simply wait in the waiting room. I tried not to make any waves. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth as previous poster mentioned. They could make full full full days mandatory. anonymous, Oct 16, 2015 at 11:50 PM Thank you for your honesty. I wish you were my ABL because not all managers have this teamwork mindset. My manager spends the entire day with me, dominates all of my sales calls, and uses the over-the-top challenger method on my customers. When he leaves me I get an earful from my physicians about him being so obnoxious. Several offices now have a "No Managers" sign because of him having been in these offices several times with several different reps doing the same thing. Then the next day I get a FCR that tells me everything I did wrong or wasn't able to say because he wouldn't shut up and how I need to improve. I wish there was a checks and balance system for managers so people like you would be promoted and idiots like the one I work for would find the door. Believe me, if I had a manager like you I'd be motivated to work harder. Now, I'm just...not. anonymous, Oct 17, 2015 at 5:39 PM the ABL job is not to ride with the rep 8-5 we would all hate it. They ride with us make a few calls talk about the business. They discuss opportunities within the company, ask if we need anything. They have to write up the FCR, calls from the regional, brand team, compliance etc. I was both and if the manager made a few calls and left great. Do your job and you will hardly see them. Stay home, call in sick, work 3 hours, make no impactful calls and you will see them more not less. Just left the company in August, and my ABL was the reason. Rode with us two days in a row from 8:30 until 4:30. Conference calls at either 7:45 or 5:15. They constantly jumped in calls and made us take them to shutdown offices. It was brutal.

Laker,
Sorry but Cafe Pharma is nothing but fake posts by investors, shorts etc.
I did an experiment a while back and had a relatively long positive or bullish back and forth 'conversation with myself' about a product and it was picked up instantly as 'real' by a ridiculous amount of people. The next day I did the same but bashed. A whole different group of people reposted but much less than the longs. And no no one picked up on the fact this was simply spamming. I know the lingo and terms. It's very easy to do. The only difficulty is not doing it quickly (to make it seem 'real').
Cafe Pharma is purely anonymous. It's worthless.

Guys, here is what I received from a reader of my blog very recently. Another piece of real word experience of doctors prescribing Afrezza (and substantiates what docfrezza has been telling us):
"We recently visited my mother's endocrinologist and I inquired whether the doctor was prescribing Afrezza.
The doctor replied that [he/she] is enthusiastic about Afrezza and has some significant number of patients on it.
................[Note: for privacy concerns, I have taken out all references to, or indication of, name, address or gender of the doctor in the original message from the reader.]
Typical (existing patient) wait time for an appointment is several months."
