I don't know what's happening here, but I just heard that the UPS guy dropped off the shipment at the health minister's house in Abu Dhabi; no one was home, so he left it on his porch (the minister has a large home). Anyway, when the minister came home, he saw nothing there. UPS is insisting that they delivered the shipment, and that there were no orders that said they couldn't just leave it outside if no one was home. My sources are not always right, but they are always my sources.

If that is the case then MNKD may be a threat to AMGEN, because Afrezza helps remedy/reduce many of the systemic metabolic diseases you mentioned. Again, Afrezza is the only exogenous insulin in the market right now with a (PK) profile that more closely mimics endogenous insulin mealtime Insulin does not cure high blood pressure or deranged lipids (I love that phrase). Insulin only treats one aspect of metabolic syndrome, diabetes. These aspects are largely independent so if my HbA1c is normal my blood pressure will remain high. Equally my lipids would be high even if my numbers are normal (as an aside I do think that triglycerides are linked to level fluctuation although my endo says they aren't). Again I DID NOT say it cures. Please read carefully what I type. Its just english . I said it may help reduce many of the systemic metabolic diseases you mentioned. Hypertension being one of them, Obesity being another, and help reduce insulin resistance which causes many complications. Again this may be a threat to Amgen. IMO all the Big Pharma playing a role in diabetes are on the sideline watching MNKD very very closely.

If Amgen is threatened at all it's mannkind attracting their employees.

Also, ask yourself why are insulin prices up again. Maybe it does not have to do with Mannkind but what if it does. Once commercial, Reversed is aired, ultra-rapid insulin label change, pediatrics, etc are in play things will change.

That is like some weird form of investing narcissism... i.e. thinking the diabetes world already revolves around Mannkind. Talk about a tail wagging the dog... that would be more like a flea on the tail wagging the dog.

Does this help expedite deals ? ... "I can announce today that we are actually on file in one new listed country and are in later stage negotiations in number of different jurisdictions, and you'll see announcement of that one near-term. But as this typical with our past practices, we cannot to make these announcements till we actually get the approvals or sign the agreement, so stay tuned on that front as well."

I wouldn't read to much into Trumps visit. Trump is best buds with anyone with money. It's only when they are poor and non white that he has issues with them.
Trumps visit was about huge arms (munitions/aircrafts, etc.) sales, I'm sure drugs never passed his mind.
As usual we are clueless about MannKinds intentions or plans. With the shipment we'll just have to wait and see how things develop. I'm more curious about Afrezza OTC, I have no idea how they think they're going to make that a reality...
