I can't get it to in enlarge. But here is what she said: Her tweet says almost as much about inhaled insulin as the article does. Here is the relevant big excerpt from the article: "Laura ... is now using an inhaled form of insulin that helps her avoid injections." That's it. The rest of the article is about being diagnosed with diabetes, trying oral medications, writing a book, being a life coach, etc. Thanks for posting it. Pretty disappointing.

From the get go it was always an article about Laura living with T1 not being on Afrezza. As always with everyone it was totally blown out of proportion and the expectation was nowhere near reality.

I wonder WHY 'Afrezza' was edited out. Did the journalist just not catch the name? Did the journalist just not think it was worth mentioning (consistent with what kbrion just said)? Does the magazine edit out mention of all brand name drugs from its articles, out of deference to advertisers who pay for product placement? Did Sanofi pay to kill the story? (J/K about the last one, though I'm sure some will consider it to be the most probable.)

Still, free advertising. Inhaled insulin should catch some interest and when Googled it brings up Afrezza with A1c control next to it

There might have been more edited out than just the name.

MannKind responded to an email inquiry I sent and confirmed that they did place an Afrezza ad in the magazine. I didn't get confirmation that it was a full multi-page ad, but hopefully the ad got placed onto a page that adjacent to those containing the cover story. Even if the brand name was edited out of the story, readers will put two and two together and make the connection between Laura using an inhalable insulin and Afrezza inhalable insulin, IMO.

Since i saw the picture in the magazine wondered: why she doesn't took The picture with The dreamboat somewhere? Then i thought: probably was forbidden, probably there is a picture with The dreamboat in The article, but nothing.
My question is: was forbidden to show the dreamboat?
I appreciate Eric Fenar, he always takes pictures everywhere and dreamboat is always there.

Her interview article is on pages 12, 13, and 17. It sure LOOKS (from the picture on her twitter feed) that the Afrezza ad is on page 16. So as long as readers catch the one word 'inhaled' on page 13 and remember it 3 pages later, we're golden. (The above was not intended sarcastically, but I admit it can be read that way.)

I'm thinking page 16 is the last page (full page, BTW) of what is likely a multi-page ad for Afrezza on pages 14, 15 & 16.
