Nurse practitioner can prescribe. Liane, that four word answer is so powerful, being clear and unequivocal and to the point. It's such a departure from the usual posts (obviously including mine), which ramble on and on. It knocked me for a loop!!

I just don't see vdex as a big deal at this point given its current market position. Instead, asap Mannkind needs to get more insurance companies to cover Afrezza, get more and more traditional Endos and GPs to prescribe, and once prescribed get repeat purchase. Mannkind also needs to figure out how to stay in business given their current cash position. How they achieve all of those things is fodder for debate, but that is the bottom line imho.

Why is this news or even a discussion? VDex have not opened their doors and no one knows if they ever will. And even if they do, they are not the magic bullet that is going to save Afrezza. I think the problem is that we are so desperate for a glimmer of hope that we lunge at that every tiny little piece of internet lead. I'm afraid I have to agree.

Nurse practitioner can prescribe. I use one for my diabetes check ups. She works in internal medicine at the International Diabetes Center in Minnesota. She is wonderful. She asks questions and listens. I told her once that I really appreciated her because she seems to care about me as a person. She said that nurses are trained to care and doctors are trained to treat. God bless nurses. That being said, she had not heard of Afrezza as of my last visit in June. She had also not heard of Bydureon when I requested it after it had been approved. When my insurance company no longer covered Bydureon I switched to Trulicity. The nurse who I met to discuss how to use Trulicity was familiar with Afrezza and said that the physicians in family practice had prescribed it and the patients were showing good results. I was also told that the doctors in internal medicine do not see pharma reps.

Dict, my friend, "leave no stoned unturned." Throughout life, I've always liked that saying and am glad to see MNKD following that mantra w/regards to Afrezza. Who's to say Vdex won't turn into something really useful/productive for Afrezza in the near term? Certainly not anyone on this board, including you. Cheers!

I can vouch for that statement, the three nursettes I hang out with who are members of this board care.... about their stock portfolios! Liane, as long as the words are well chosen and used in the correct order, there's nothing wrong with being paid "by the word."

And an NP will take the time with each patient to teach them how to properly titrate...
