We are priced like we are going out of business. There is a good chance that's not the case. In that case I think we're worth 6 bucks a share right now. And yes I may be out of my mind. But it's my mind and I'm not going to let other people try to take it over and change it!

I'll tell you what is worth 6 dollars a share besides the patents mnkd holds, the weight loss and the well being the type twos get, and the type ones can eat.

Peppy, the Nortel patents weren't sold until much, much later. Circa 2011. AFTER Nortel was already delisted. The patents were sold during bankruptcy. What you are seeing in your graph is the effect of a 1 for 10 reverse split in 2006. www.cboe.com/publish/TTStockSM/06-941.pdf

I think you mean the weight loss for Type 1s. Type 2s gained weight. Type 1 Type 2 Recent exposure to MannKind Cares was fantastic. I thought I was in trouble since my medication was running low and I did not know what to expect, you see I would get a new prescription only once over 6 months and the distribution network had changed.
I had to set up an appointment with the Diabetic Educator at my clinic. I’m a type 2 and 65 years old. My A1c has dropped from 7.0 to 6.1 over 18 months and I have lost over 50 lbs. I believe my A1c will drop under 6 at my next check in Dec.
Prior to my appointment I called and talked with a MannKind nurse practitioner with a few questions and was very pleased with her knowledge and professionalism. She suggested I call MannKind Cares to review insurance options.
MannKind Cares customer service was terrific. They guided me to the right forms and website, which allowed me to prepare for the doctor’s office visit. A representative called me back to make sure all my questions were answered and helped me with the preparation of the Afrezza Access and Patient Authorization forms.
The DE at my clinic is an RN and is the most knowledgeable person on diabetes and treatment options at my clinic, which has 2 locations. My doctor (GP) has tremendous confidence in the DE and tells me to discuss options with her since it the DE’s responsibility to stay current on all the best treatment options. The DE and I examine the options and then inform the doctor what we have decided, my results have been so good that the doctor has always approved our decision to utilize Afrezza.
I decided to change my prescription to the Titration Pack was very pleased to be given a MannKind Titration Pack Card which along with a 30 day prescription allowed me to get a “free” Titration Pack from my local pharmacy. The MannKind rep had been there the day before and met with the Diabetic Educator and provided these cards. This gives me 180 cartridges instead of 90 for a 30 period so I have many more options for providing ideal control.
30 days have passed and I again contracted MannKind Cares to obtain a new prescription. They guided me to a mail order pharmacy, which saved me just under 10% of my co-pay versus my normal options. They called me back to make sure the mail order pharmacy had contacted me promptly, and then called to make sure I had received the medication on the scheduled delivery date. Can you believe this type of customer service? I’m stunned!
Mike C if you see this send me a PM so I can give you a head’s up on an “Exchange” issue.

My words, I read the study. I listen. the physicians should be listening. That is the job IMO. The lab results. the weight loss. the increased feelings of well being. let's separate the very excellent from the status quo. Some people get to have very excellent physicians that listen, some get the physicians that follow the status quo of the guidelines. I had a high school teacher that said, do you want the physician that gets all a's to do your surgery, or the one that got c's. I want the one that is not blind, I want the physician that can see. screencast.com/t/qHsWcjqc
Do we really have to act like we can not see?

Matt does and if so when must the trust alert the market of a sale of shares. Is the trust the same as any investor owning 5%. Is it possible the fund has sold shares? They must report and did. If you recall, I posted that the Mann Group had increased its holdings of MNKD shares. At the time I surmised that the trust manager had converted Al's stock awards that had vested, including restricted options and Options to Buy. Regardless, the point is that they filed the transaction with the SEC. If they had sold stock, they'd have filed again, IMO.

So, I just want to get this straight, in order to best interact with you in the future. Do you believe that the 12 or so people that very publicly talk about great results on Afrezza take precedence over 6000 clinical trial participants? If so, I won't quote trial results when responding to you anymore, since you're aware of them already. No point in me being a gadfly.

I believe the continuous glucose monitors give conclusive conformation of superior glucose control with afrezza. Yes. I believe what I am seeing is not a hologram, I believe the data of the continuous glucose monitor and the patient testimonials of better glucose control, weight loss, improved HgA1c and or improved blood glucose levels and increased feeling of well being. Yes. In my opinion, this is an FDA approved insulin and physicians need to listen to what there patients are saying, look at patient lab results, and physical presentation. In my opinion, that is the job requirements. I am a *itch

No point in me being a gadfly. i dont know what to say when you state the trial results when the protocols used in the trial are not optimal due to afrezza's action. By now every one knows here afrezzauser.com/why-is-afrezza-better-now-than-on-the-trials/And I would want a doctor that can look beyond the trial results into the trial protocol, co relate real world results with dosing regimen rather than some one that goes by a flow chart. You dont need to spend so many years in medical school to follow a flow chart.

Holders of 5% or more of a stock are presumed to be insiders and that triggers the obligation to file transaction reports. There are some exceptions to this reporting rule, for example large mutual funds might hold more than 5% but generally are not be considered an insider, but I don't think the family trusts can qualify for the relevant exceptions so they would have to report transactions until their ownership falls below 5%.

Thanks I try not to let any ones opinions influence my position but deep down when you read so much negativity on this board one cant help themselfs.. I'm sure some have been influenced into selling and if you dont think thats true your living in a dream world.. Thanks just venting here its been tough for all of us and very frustrating.. The original poster asked a question about what would happen to the family trusts if the company did BK, and I provided an answer to that question. I can agree that BK is not inevitable but the company is legally insolvent as a matter of Delaware law, and has been for some time, so the possibility of legal problems cannot, and should not, be ignored.
If you want to turn the discussion in a positive direction then discuss some plausible alternatives on how the company will raise the money it needs to stay funded. That is where the focus needs to be at the moment, and I am sure the company has obtained outside advice on how best to do that.

I've resigned myself to losses (already taken much this year), but i'm going to miss Matt's always thoughtful informative, and insightful posts when i either sell my remaining shares or the company does it the hard way for me. Appreciate it matt
