I'm not trying to be argumentative. I won't post anything else on this thread unless someone wants me to.

The reality show looks horrible. I can understand no snacks but why no phones or tvs? Why are they punishing contestants? Even for T2Ds the title "reverse" is misleading. I would rather see a show title THRIVE. I hope mnkd is not spending much on this. Very disappointed. I think THRIVE is trademarked by Kaiser. Don't try thriving without them, or you'll hear from their legal department As for the show... remember that the primary point of any show is to make money. That requires viewers eyeballs to see adverts. The way to get viewers to reality TV is to make it unreal and overly dramatic. It's the formula of the genre. No one is going to tune in to see someone take a puff, eat a sensible but non extreme lunch without complaint and then go for a short walk.

It would be nice if this gets off the ground. However a quick search shows Mattocks has been at this for four years. I really hope MNKD isnt putting any serious dollars behind this. This money would be better spent getting that TV commercial up in their best market. Show some positive results that prove what can be accomplished with scale. Then take these results to get better pricing on the next round of funding.
This seems a distraction. Hope I'm wrong.

who said anything about a clinical study? He wants a television show.
Are you implying that there is a connection between the randomized controlled trial you mentioned and the tv program produced by a chef with no medical training? reply: imply: strongly suggest the truth or existence of (something not expressly stated). from above: two things.
May is National Heal the Children Month and renowned chef and diabetes advocate, Charles Mattocks, has initiated Books For Children in Jamaica. Holmes expresses his love for Diane and his children and grandchildren and said he wants to live to be 120, but to do that, he had to change his life, especially the way he eats. Afrezza has totally changed my life. An award he considers his “Oscar.”
He is currently directing a major documentary on diabetes as well as the first ever diabetes reality TV show called Reversed.

infer- deduce or conclude (information) from evidence and reasoning rather than from explicit statements.
I happen to know about the reversal study. Yes, inferring.
ok, inappropriately, weehaw, the new fat march, the new biggest loser and Afrezza? Made up story by me so far. Be still my heart. Call it, the biggest winner. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_March en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Biggest_Loser_(U.S._TV_series)

Hopefully management can walk and chew gum at the same time... but I would agree that this seems more like the chewing gum part. Hopefully the walking is happening in earnest to get us where we need to go. The thing about a reality TV show is that it has to succeed in marketing itself before it can be a successful platform for Afrezza to be marketed. We all have become painfully aware of how difficult it is to have a hit drug. I've lived in Los Angeles long enough to know how difficult it is to have a hit TV show. Interesting idea, but until I hear a solid air date for a particular distribution channel and what role MNKD has in it, I think caution is advised in the excitement department.

It seems they are pushing a healthy lifestyle for people with diabetes... and that is great... However, for those on subq insulin trying to lose weight is nearly an insurmountable task ... first of all you have to have energy to exercise .. subq zaps energy for whatever reasons.. probably because the way it works is so far from normal pancreas and insulin action in the body.. and also, you have to cut carbs in order to control blood glucose .. we need carbs for energy... also, subq insulin hangs in the body too long and that causes weight gain....
SO ... IMO , if this is their stance then the ONLY insulin they can promote is Afrezza .. Subq is not a healthy solution.. nor does it promote anything that is healthy ..
Because of the way subq works.. because of its action in the body, makes it difficult to balance everything ... with Afrezza it is possible.. you cant promote healthy and subq at the same time...
Afrezza in contrast works very similar to what is natural, and it makes healthy possible.. makes it easier to keep all things in balance as was intended .. so they better damn well be promoting Afrezza.... LOL

Sure seems to be a lot of negativity about an upcoming reality show about diabetes that will apparently include something about Afrezza. It probably won't be a huge hit. Probably the only people watching it will be diabetics

Probably the only people watching it will be diabetics The cable channels and even the networks have been stripped of content. This show could be 7 pm network prime time. Nothing Americans like more than to see people humiliated in contest. Survivor. The biggest loser. Dancing with the Stars. The bachelor.

Yes, probably only diabetics will be watching but there are a lot of diabetics. The target market that MNKD is looking for so they were possibly discussing an advertising $commitment or sponsoring of in some way.
