The difference between diabetes learning afrezza and learning how it works is continuous glucose monitoring. we need the band aid sweat reading glucose monitoring system.

He said "On-site Diabetes Care Centers". These would be linked to endo offices and staffed by medical professionals. You don't have to see the specific endo. You walk in, have a discussion, get the spirometry test and walk out with a prescription!!!!!!! YES! And SNY could not figure this out! Bozos

Ray called them out, specifically indicating that the SNY strategy was devised within the context of their entire portfolio.

The bright side is if MNKD can get scripts up there will be several partners bidding for the right to buyout MNKD..... Hopefully they can do it! Notice how no one is mentioning DD after listening to Ray!

I was impressed with the Q & A, and will be adding shares. I am not sure Ray's comment about SNY's 1990's launch approach was a bit disingenuous (perhaps I missed the context). MNKD knew the launch plan upfront.

Bozos I think Matt was careful about not taking full credit for the clinic initiative (as in, SNY was involved in the discussions). I am adding shares for several reasons, the clinics are interesting, but will take time. It will help with awareness, but let's wait for proof of concept. Most insurance plans require PCP referrals to specialists, so there will still be a process, and there will probably be more than a handful of PCPs who will not refer to an urgent care center clinic. Having nothing to do with Afrezza and everything to do with public health, convenient access to diabetes care is important.

New Jersey "Pilot center to launch 1Q16 in New Jersey." Any chance it could be in Bridgewater next to Sanofi's US headquarters?

MNKD did know SNY's plan for the launch and marketing, but don't forget that Al was calling the shots. Al is old school and had faith in SNY's old school tactics.

Funny, from everything (almost) I have read on the board over the past months is that SNY did not commit to a properly resourced traditional launch.

I have stayed close to this board daily since launch. Am I incorrect that the biggest issue posters had with SNY is that they did not commit to a full traditional launch? I do not believe SNY bullied MNKD into the deal.

Having nothing to do with Afrezza and everything to do with public health, convenient access to diabetes care is important. Just because these clinics will be co-located with an urgent care center does not mean that the service being provided is urgent care. It would be more akin to primary care. The "urgent care" setting (such as in a Walmart) just gives the diabetes clinic visibility - taking health care directly to the patient. These could be staffed by a nurse practitioner, with a link to a physician or even an endo as needed. Many insurance plans would not need a referral to be seen at such a facility - specifically - regular Medicare needs no referral. A lot will depend on what plans these centers contract with. The key, though, is providing comprehensive basic diabetes care without bias toward a specific product.

New Jersey I'm wondering how they are going to be able to implement this on national basis. And how is this going to be low cost? Sorry for all the questions. This is a great idea but I'm not sure it'll be as easy and as low cost as Matt seems to think.
