Create an online petition to FDA re: Afrezza Approval?

[mnkdd]

Just a quick thought-- it seems the power of the rank and file diabetes community had an important impact at the ADCOM.  I'd love to see that momentum continue as we approach the PDUFA date.  Would it be worth creating an online petition addressed to the FDA to approve AFREZZA, especially as they're getting ready with their vote? 

I would start one myself, but I'm just an investor.  I'm not T1 or T2 and I have a feeling the petition would have more legitimacy if it was started by someone who is in the trenches battling this disease daily. 

Any thoughts???

I think it would only be legitimate coming from those affected by the disease - patients, family, caregivers etc. Agree, stay away from it if any financial conflict of interest. It would be nice if the various diabetes organizations are on top of this.

How about a quick note to Diatribe?

that's exactly what i was thinking, manmade. who is going to email them so a bunch of us don't?

My guess is that the FDA has already made their decision.

I sent a quick email to Diatribe... maybe they'll like to spearhead the effort and keep the ball rolling from their ADCOM testimony...

Just a thought - one could always try using petitions.whitehouse.gov/ to engage the Whitehouse in responding.
