Sports, I'm hoping for the best for VDEX. Looks like they will need to keep a close eye on this clinic. It has a 2.1 rating on Google. May not mean anything but several One *star reviews.

I’m hoping that MannKind Diabetes is a soon-to-be-revealed website where MannKind can reprint diabetes news. They cannot promote Afrezza per FDA regulation but they can (and should) reprint articles about the health benefits of maintaining Time-in-Range, as well as other relevant information such as studies on the benefits of early insulin treatment for Type 2 diabetes mellitus and support for diabetes awareness events.
Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have these diabetes websites and keep them current.

1. Multi-point reduction in HbA1c Commonly, new diabetes medications are touted due their ability to reduce HbA1c. Reductions of one-half point to a full point, say from 8 to 7.5 or even 7, are meaningful. This is especially true given the oft-cited statistic that for every one-point reduction in HbA1c, there is a 40% drop in damage to the body. Multi-point drops in HbA1c, however, tend to be uncommon. In our experience we have routinely seen multi-point reductions in HbA1c. It is not unusual for a Vdex patient to drop 4 or 5 points, for example from 10 to 6. The highest HbA1c we’ve seen is 18.1 and presently this patient’s HbA1c is below 10 (and heading lower).
This experience has been more common in the New Mexico patients who are more poorly controlled than those we’ve seen in Los Angeles. Certainly, starting at a higher HbA1c permits more multi-point reductions. But the salient conclusion is that use of insulin, specifically Afrezza insulin, is far more effective at controlling blood sugar than other medications. static1.squarespace.com/static/5a37ff648fd4d234be3cea06/t/5c2ea96170a6ad1b09ad6f9a/1546561892258/vdex-whitepaper2-092618.pdf=================================================================================================== (Oh yeah, we are great. The United States government owns 47 percent of all land in the West. In some states, including Oregon, Utah and Nevada, the majority of land is owned by the federal government. 34.7% of New Mexico is federal land. New Mexico hosts four military bases, mostly for the Air Force. Military testing is common in New Mexico because the bases are massive, ranging from 50,000 acres to the 3,200 square mile White Sands Missile Range, the largest base of the military.)

Always love to hear Jerry, but not sure about that song title mango! Sometimes this investment makes me feel like a Passenger (now that’s a great tune) on it...
