She’s a T1. As I read it, she did not say she obtained the low from Afrezza She said she over treated the low and then subsequently and consequently used Afrezza to quickly get her down from the high that resulted from the over treatment of the low Correct, This is why I did not post that tweet. Because I knew it would get talked to death:-))

It's pretty obvious if you read closely that Afrezza saved her bacon.

She is on Afrezza and she got that sort of low? not so fast, she may be a person on RAA's that uses Afrezza to come down from a big high? People that get a voucher and are trying afrezza? I went to twitter, no picture of the Dexcom. hmmmmm You are right, that could be the case. Short of asking her, which I would not do since it's rather personal, all I can do is look at her Twitter feed that says she is an Afrezza user and has pictures of Afrezza in it. I should be clear on this - I am not saying take Afrezza you will get bad lows, I am saying that it looks like occasionally you may get a bad low. Bodies, in particular T1 bodies, are not always predictable. That tweet also shows the value of alarms and why a Dexcom is worth having.

Long time customer? Once VDEX gets the customer on Afrezza and dialed in properly, why does the customer ever have to go to a VDEX clinic again? What am I missing? What you're missing is that once refills are used, the patient must get a physician to write another prescription. I don't know of a single doctor (except, perhaps for Prince's Michael Jackson's) who will write a no-visit prescription for a disease as potentially dangerous as diabetes. It's true that the number of refills may determine the number of visits to the clinic, but return the patients must and if VDex was the clinic that gave the PWDs their lives back, of course they would return to VDex.
But vdex provides the coach not the doctor. If the patient sees the Dr for a rx how does Vdex make money from this? I think the answer is vdex needs a constant supply of new patients. Just like a physical therapist. They don't have patients for life.

Please go to their web page and look at all the qualified people working for them. How do you think you go to Vdex and get a script if the doctor isn’t there!

Sorry Sports. Didn't realize this. Thanks. I thought the independent Dr referred the patient to Vdex for coaching.

Which is completely different from their standalone Vdex’s. Remember they have 3 models, the other one being like a Vdex owned by someone else, like a MNKD long.

seanismorris ... there are three in the Los Angeles area. Can't comment on their financial success or lack thereof. I’ll be dammed... VDex killed the map on their website. Google Maps only shows vdexdiabetesoh.com (coming soon) Apple Maps has no idea who VDex is, or where they’re located... Searching Google.com finds no locations (search term: VDex California) Google (search term: VDex Locations) shows the generic VDex website, and finds proboards reference to a 2nd location opening. ——— When is the last time someone actually went to a VDex location? Because they’re either the most incompetent folks ever, or they’re out of business.

It sounds like they killed off VDex “locations” and are using other Doctors affiliated with VDex at their own offices. Might as well use Afrezza.com doctor finder... — That’s Strange — Afrezza.com (doctor finder CA Search) WARDEN EMORY Psychiatry2080 century park eastSte 1410 Century city, CA 90067 3102777711 Also, found a Doc in infectious diseases...

seanismorris... Just because they changed the way you access maps to me doesn't imply they've changed anything about the actual locations. Of course I have no idea what the locations were like before... shared, not shared, etc. One is actually only a mile or so away, but I guess I've never really had that much curiosity to just stop by. I'd love to hear about volume of patients they are seeing and profitability... but can't tell that by looking at the storefront.
