Would be nice if there were already an air date and/or mention of it on Discovery Life website.
I would guess that perhaps MNKD pushed for early PR so they would have something to talk about at CC, but without a specific date we're left to assume it could be coming as late as Sept.
Another guess would be that the lack of an air date means they aren't far enough into production yet to be able to nail down a date.
Guess I'm just in a skeptical mood.

I hope one of the "experts" discusses Afrezza and maybe shows a patient using it.
I can't tell from the press release of MannKinds involvement. The description is pretty weak.
This could be "fluff" or a big deal...
I wonder if MannKind is going to help promote the show online..adverts.
Maybe we'll get a better idea of their involvement on the call (16th).
If this is the only marketing they are planning, it's no where near enough.

as of today its fluff which may not convert into sales until sales pick up. We all know the ads in the base ball schedules?

The summer television season begins May 31- 1st of june ish. less than 90 days away.
<--- guess who's blood glucose levels are running high.
That will teach me. Type two, so easy to ignore.

agree with this tweet, the name of the show is really poor and sends the wrong message to diabetics

agree with this tweet, the name of the show is really poor and sends the wrong message to diabetics Diabetes mine full of type ones? Poorly named, The show is type 2? I am not so sure it was poorly named. let's give it a chance.
Early Short-term Intensive Insulin Causes the Remission of Type 2 Diabetes September 10th, 2016
Source: www.diabetesincontrol.com/early-short-term-intensive-insulin-causes-the-remission-of-type-2-diabetes/
Excerpts:
In early type 2 diabetes (T2DM), short-term intensive insulin therapy (IIT) for 2-4 weeks can decrease insulin resistance, reduce glucagonemia, improve β-cell function, and even induce a remission of diabetes that can last up to one year in some patients.
Data was evaluated from the placebo arm of a double-blind randomized controlled trial in which patients with early T2DM (≤7 years duration) underwent 4 weeks of IIT (basal detemir, bolus aspart), followed by placebo therapy for 48 weeks (n=25). Participants underwent an oral glucose tolerance test every 12 weeks, enabling serial assessment of insulin sensitivity, α-cell response, and β-cell function. Diabetes remission was defined as A1c<6.5% on no medication for T2DM.
For the study design, data from the placebo arm of the double-blind randomized controlled trial in which 25 patients within 7 y of T2D diagnosis received 4 weeks of intensive basal/bolus insulin therapy followed by placebo for 48 wk. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) every 12 weeks used to assess insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function. Then diabetes remission was defined as HbA1c <6.5% with no T2D medications.
The results showed that at 48 weeks after stopping intensive insulin, 14 participants (56%) were in diabetes remission. At baseline, the remission group had shorter duration of diabetes (1.2 vs 2.6 y; p=.03), lower A1c (6.2% vs 7.1%, p=.006), and better β-cell function.
The 2 groups did not differ in clinical characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity, pre-study diabetes treatment, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, liver enzymes, or insulin sensitivity.
Then, in logistic regression analyses, shorter duration of diabetes supplanted baseline A1c (p=.24) and β-cell function (p=.19) as an independent predictor of remission at 48 weeks (OR, 0.22; 95% CI 0.05-0.92; p=.04)
At 48 weeks post-IIT, 56% of the participants remained in remission. Comparison of remitters to non-remitters revealed no differences in waist, body mass index, insulin sensitivity (Matsuda index), or glucagon profile, either at baseline or over 48 weeks. Compared to non-remitters, the remission group had lower baseline A1c (p=0.006) and better baseline β-cell function
The key determinant of the likelihood of inducing sustained drug-free diabetes remission with short-term IIT is early intervention, particularly within the first 2 years after diagnosis. And reversing or delaying type 2 diabetes may help prevent morbidity and reduce healthcare costs.

As far as it goes, I'm pleased the show got on a network as large as Discovery Life. It may not be the largest or most popular channel, but it is more than I was expecting.
OTOH, I'm not sure what sponsorship of this program will really do for Mannkind. Only time will tell.

That will teach me. Type two, so easy to ignore. Many outlets are now departing from the "traditional" seasons for shows. One thing that would make me very skeptical of an air date that soon is the fact that Discovery Life already has announcement and a couple of trailers online for a new show that premieres July 8. Seems very unlikely that they'd air this one that they have yet to announce or set a date sooner than they'd air one that they are actively promoting. I could be wrong. Maybe there could be some other factors at play... but I'll temper my expectations (a skill I am getting a lot of practice at).
