As I've mentioned numerous times before , How about giving it a "WHOLE FOODs TYPE IMAGE " with the backing of FDA approval , for the best of legitimacy . Not to mention as a bonus it's inhaled . Needle free ! And synergies with a CGM IS SECOND TO NONE / Because Type 1 diabetics don't care about whole food images. They know the stuff (including Afrezza) is made in huge steaming vats of mutant E.coli so it's hardly natural. What matters is the benefits - this is the part people seem to consistently miss. As to CGMs - remember that Dexcom has 150,000 users globally, and a lot of those users are not using it.

Reply: truer words have never been said.
And then a physician gives them a prescription for an analog fast acting, a glucose meter with strips and lancets and tells them to learn to manage it. Do or Die.
Those dexcom users has unabled us to see .

One of the things I do is volunteering with newly diagnosed adult diabetics (the kids have a huge support structure in place - adults less so) and that just about aligns with what I see. The doctors tell you what to do but you are in state of shock so it doesn't really stick and the next month gets spent trying to piece stuff together while constantly afraid that you are going to die in your sleep or slip back into DKA. It's surprisingly difficult to kill yourself when newly diagnosed because you are still producing insulin so there is a window to work in. That's not made clear though.

Agedhippie; spoken like a true YMB short ! Yeah yeah. You are wrong though. Perhaps, but definitely funny. agedhippie said, "They know the stuff (including Afrezza) is made in huge steaming vats of mutant E.coli so it's hardly natural." Define natural. For the record, you are wrong too, but you knew that already. The API (human insulin) might be produced by E.coli or yeast, but Afrezza is certainly NOT. If one extracted the human insulin from a person, it might just as easily be the API. The issue worth discussing is chemical equivalence, NOT how it was made and NOT by what process. Also, what is the error rate in human production versus bacterial/fungal production? The insulin production process is technically challenging, but different than the technically challenging production process of Afrezza. There is an open (free) project for developing the capacity to produce insulin (RHI) without relying on the few suppliers of today. Afrezza is a step beyond.

Natural is an orange or a grape, a tomato, potato. Insulin is genetically modified e coli, produced and a centrifuge and filtering systems involved. Nothing natural about it. technosphere is the freeze drying method. let's not mince words.
I didn't even bother to look this up and post a link. Memory and paraphrasing.
Lilly was the first company to mass-produce penicillin, the Salk polio vaccine, and insulin. Its achievements include being one of the first pharmaceutical companies to produce human insulin using recombinant DNA including Humulin, Humalog, and the first approved biosimilar insulin product in the US, Basaglar.
Lilly's vasts are huge and frozen.

I think the television commercial could center around a meal. A table with food and color. I think it could be a family meal, and the diabetic could explain what they are doing. Happy smiling people at mealtime.

Agedhippie; spoken like a true YMB short ! Instead of personal attacks, which violate the TOS 'round these parts, why don't you refute his argument with facts?

Eating bread (like French or sourdough at a sit down dinner). I'm thinking a family dinner out with them eating predinner bread (appetizer).
Also, another scene with a person rushing out the door (to high school) grabbing a breakfast bagel. Bread in both situations works great, it's something considered healthy but not great for blood sugar.
Both people should be obviously healthy. Perhaps, an older gentleman at the dinner and a younger girl for the second, representing both Type 1 & 2 diabetes.
Having both in the commercial would be best... then a brief explanation of why Afrezza works, and how it allows people to enjoy food they love, and works great in a social setting without the stigma or hassle of injections.
--- MannKind I've done all the work for you, please don't screw it up ; )
Also, don't mention OUTsulin. Really DON'T do it. Have a Doc in a lab coat do the explanation.

I could also see a split screen showing an "old version" of a diabetic on their prior regimine with diabetic supplies/paraphernalia, etc., vs the "new version" of the same individual on Afrezza with a CGM showing their actual experienced time in range. Talk about the various positives and now less-existant negatives. Tagline, "Afrezza - inhaleable insulin for the 21st Century and beyond"

Inhalable's and patches. I think shots will cease to exist.

Tagline, "Afrezza - inhaleable insulin for the 21st Century and beyond" Yes, but we know time in range trial results won't be ready until Q4 and a commercial using those results would then be in 2018.

This is what I think is going to happen. We will have TV commercials like EXAS..Get, go, gone.
It will be OUTsulin running around. Click, Snap, Inhale
