Bizarre that they feel the need to state that there will be no statement about RLS. I wonder if every time for the next 8 months when they have some upcoming event they will have to warn everyone that we aren't going to hear anything about RLS. The fine print on every event... "yet again, we aren't talking about RLS".

Guess they receive a lot of questions and learnt that there are many speculations about RLS. Nice of them and bad for shorts.

And honestly Mannkind could do well using social media. 500 something on Facebook and 1051 on twitter. Tell your friends and families to like both pages. What could it hurt.

I still think, plaster bill boards with continuous glucose monitors, and a dreamboat. Seeing is believing. Doctors still drive cars down the road.

I'm not there yet, but I think it just depends on the kind of person the doctor is as well as the kind of information presented through social media. If the information is more scientific and appeals to "reason", I'd say it'd have a higher chance of being investigated by a physician. I'm quickly learning that the things I value now hold a much higher significance than they used to now that I have much less time to waste. I'm not sure if that will ever change until I retire. Physicians are very busy people and live demanding lifestyles. And then they go home to a new world with new demands if they have spouses and/or children. You'd be surprised about how many wives' tales and other nonsense floats out there on the internet. Some docs may have their interest piqued, some may view it as a waste of time and avoid it because it's not from a reputable source. I don't think it'd hurt, though. Definitely wouldn't rely on it to be super effective.

What is the mechanism they stumble across it. They aren't going to be following mnkd. One can't follow hashtags... at least not directly in twitter. Do you envision that doctors would periodically search for #T1D or #T2D to see if there is some relevant medical info? Maybe they stumble across it if they have friend/family that posts something on facebook, but 1) we have really small user base at this point and 2) not withstanding the amazing early adopters that are evangelizing for Afrezza, most patients don't facebook post about drugs and disease management, with many people with diabetes preferring to keep the issue in the shadows as much as possible. This was a point of worry for me when Matt cited social media and twitter implying they would contribute to marketing in a meaningful way. Perhaps some online diabetes forums could contribute, but I just don't see mainstream social media playing a role. Short of superbowl meme about digestive problems, drugs just aren't fodder for social media. The only way Afrezza would go viral is if some celeb decides to off themselves by overdosing on it.

I'm sorry, but if we're grasping at straws like Twitter & FB as a way forward then I'm still PRAYING that all of this, the job openings, Vdex, RLS, ALL OF IT, are just a bluff to negotiate a coming buy out.... And I mean PRAYING!
The awareness of Afrezza is ZERO!!!!! Ins reps, endos, pharmisist... NO ONE has a clue....
To think a company like MNKD, is going to take on BP, who's trying to kill it, ALONE, on bankruptcy's door step, using Twitter & FB, is absolutely delusional!!!!!!
