They have three models, their own standalone, other people opening up their own Vdex’s with their help, and smaller Vdex’s inside medical facilities. . Their own standalone and helping others open clinics up with their help is like differentiating between a corporate McDonalds's and a franchise owned. On the outside, both are identical. On the inside, both are identical. The menu...well, you no the answer. The only difference is ownership. So, standalone and helping others is really one in the same to the patient. Now, inside med facilities??? Sounds like Baskin Robins inside Dunkin Donuts to me. Great concept but what are the benefits and what are the implications? Thanks Sports for the info which opens up the dialogue.

And the patient gets the education and the time they need to learn to dose and how important time in range is.

When my daughter was in for her check-up for asthma, the nurse asked if we wanted to speak with the Asthma Educator. Sure, why not? It was a specially trained third-party who wasn't rushed and took lots of time to answer our questions and generate an action plan (subject to final review by the doctor). It was really nice and didn't cost the practice anything beyond tying up a consult room for a bit longer.

It certainly seems like VDEX is a clear positive for Afrezza. It would be great if they had one on every street corner in America. You know, like CVS and Walgreens ;-) Serious question though. Why is VDEX not negotiating with places like CVS to provide space in their stores for VDEX offices? Heck they already have nurse-practitioners in them. Maybe they are. Not the sort of thing they likely would discuss until an actual deal were done.

What about partnering up with that neuropathy clinic that thought highly of Afrezza?

I wonder what percentage of MNKD shares are held by VDEX partners? Hmmmm.

My former doctor (retired last year) holds 20,000 shares. It's not uncommon for physicians to invest in companies with new, innovative treatments.

vdexdiabetesoh.com/Coming soon (Early 2018) “Take care of the patient and the business will take care of itself.” That was Alfred Mann’s philosophy. And it was his perspective that inspired the creation of Vdex. Al Mann started with the simple premise that the best way to manage blood sugar was the way the body did naturally…with insulin. But existing, synthetic insulins were dangerous, and it was not possible to make insulin that was chemically identical to that produced by the pancreas. For that reason, the pharmaceutical industry developed a host of medications to circumvent the use of insulin. Al Mann set his sights on the development of a natural, and safe, insulin. With a couple of decades of effort and more than a billion dollars, he gave us Afrezza, a bio-identical insulin, chemically identical to what the pancreas makes. FDA-approved Afrezza is a quantum leap forward in the management of blood sugar. The only inhaled insulin, it works the same way a healthy pancreas does. For many patients, Afrezza is the answer. But it’s not for everyone. At Vdex, we set out to find a better way to take care of diabetes patients. Our treatment plans begin with lifestyle changes. Combined with Afrezza and other state-of-the-art treatments, our patients are able to safely maintain average HbA1c levels significantly lower than what historically has been possible. Lower HbA1c means fewer problems. It’s that simple. Diabetes is the most prevalent disease on the planet, and Vdex is here to make the world a healthier place. Please check out: vdexdiabetes.com Map showing business location.

The avalanche is beginning to take shape. Once the bottom slides out, the rest of it comes for the ride. Good stuff for sure.

Where do they think the insulin used in Afrezza comes from? It's the most widely sold insulin in the world, Regular insulin, and chemically identical. That highlighted sentence is flat out wrong.
