Dream, I recall that Matt said that it would open in a week's time. Of course this could have been intentionally a bit wrong to prove that he is not superexcited about it and that Vdex is not part of MNKD.

CJ Urgent Care lists nothing on their website about treating diabetes, generally or as urgent hypo/hyper.

sla, that website has been up at least since March 12th, when I posted the link on this board. But there is nothing specific to diabetics that they offer. I am not sure that I saw the 'check in' back in March 12th. My guess at that time was that they use the urgent care website until they have an own one. Nothing on twitter either.

To All on Proboards,
We at Vdex are very appreciative of your interest in what we are doing and your support of our efforts. To clarify the above conversation, we originally planned to open our first pilot center/location in Neptune, New Jersey on March 15th. However, due to the fluid process of starting such a complicated endeavor as this and the fact that New Jersey and California are the two most complicated and legally regulated states, regarding the practice of medicine, our timeline has been pushed back by a few weeks for our opening.
Please know that everything is in place and we are just making a few structural changes to our business model/organization map and the affiliated documents to ensure that we comply with all local, state and federal laws governing the business we are entering.
The good news is that by starting in New Jersey and (we will say "likely)" soon California, we will be able to expand more rapidly in the remaining states that are less heavily regulated in this area.
Vdex has been developed to provide more convenient access to care, opportunities for better control, and better continuity of care for people living with diabetes by working with and in support of each patient's physician. We thank you for your interest, support and patience as we are looking to make Vdex a very important resource/component in the diabetic eco-system.

To All on Proboards, We at Vdex are very appreciative of your interest in what we are doing and your support of our efforts. mannmade, thanks for posting this information from Vdex and making Vdex more real. I hope that Vdex starts to be more visual in regards to the company, its management and its range of products and services as it be great to put an end to all the rumours. It seems as there is always some sort of fog of war around MNKD: Delays in FDA approval, Shkreli, Big pharma, GS involvement, huge short selling, share price manipulation, SNY sandbagging, a mysterious RLS and then a mysterious VDex. As a small retail investor with a huge portion of my portfolio linked to MNKD, I once a while would like to know what is going on. I wish you all the best for your company.

No wonder they all have perfect teeth... millionaires can afford the dental work. Strange coincidence that they all also have diabetes.

Thanks mannmade for that info. Are you with Vdex or an owner of it? Couldn't tell from your post, sorry if I missed you explaining that earlier. Very curious to see how these locations are rolled out.

Having to comply with laws and regulations? Who'da thunk it? And I agree, with the experience gained in NJ and CA, many other states will be a snap (watch out for Louisiana and that Napoleonic Code, though - actually serious about that, a weird state). Good luck, mannmade, I think your business model rocks! A place carved out for the diabetic space, where so many people have a need.

And other than L.A. and T.X - most still part of the US ; )

Did anyone come by the Vdex center in Neptune,NJ lately? Mannmade thankfully disclosed a bit about Vdex here at this thread but since then things went quiet although this board had high expectations.

I checked the website and noted that it says:
"We are pleased to announce that our first location will be opening in the next month at Vdex Medical Group of New Jersey, Ocean Township, NJ"
I thought the name was "Vdex Diabetes Care Centers" before. Have they changed so now it's just a regular medical clinic?

The name could have to do with some regulations in terms of what you can and can't call yourself in NJ, depending on who you have on staff, or myriad other things that often over-zealous regulators dream up. Remember, mannmade said they had to tie up some legal loose ends. Having been a lawyer for quite a while, when you deal with regulators and bureaucracies, nothing ever seems to go smoothly or quickly, unless you grease the skids, and mannmade is no skid-greaser, thank goodness! And none of that ever goes on in New Jersey, right? He'll get it done and done right, no sense in rushing an opening only to have whatever NJ bureaucracies that are involved take you to task. And don't forget, there are other jurisdictions being considered and worked on simultaneously, so he and his team have their hands full, but I'm confident VDEX is progressing as quickly as the bureaucratic process allows. Bigger fish for now coming up around April 5, let's see if we're ready to take it back right then or within a few days thereafter. Perhaps we might also hear the essence of the break-up "deal" between SNY and MNKD; there's certainly a wide range of potential outcomes forecast by posters.
