For goodness sake, I hope this doesn't become about the 10th thing that we anticipate positively and blows up in our face, Wiley Coyote style. Patterns, patterns, patterns. You inspired me to change my avatar Baba-O

Ok sorry if my message was unclear. I was disappointed to find our that Mannkind is not the exclusive sponsor of the show and that this other company will also be running a commercial during the reversed program. My issue with this other company's commercial is that they claim to reverse diabetes, which is exactly what Charles has previously said this show's title is not meant to portray. while charles is aiming to reverse daibetics' lifestyles, this company is actually claiming in their commercial to reverse diabetes. It's BS and looks and sounds cheap to me. There are numerous examples in the medical literature of patients with diabetes that managed to reverse the decline in insulin sensitivity and get off their meds completely. Most patients would consider a substantial increase in insulin sensitivity and discontinuation of any other treatment as reversal of their disease. Success is necessarily restricted to Type II diabetics who still have a functioning pancreas but who have become insulin insensitive. Those patients can reverse their condition although not all of them manage to do so. Patients with very advanced Type II and all Type I patients without enough functional beta-islet cells are still going to be insulin dependent.

Yes, he replied to my tweet - LOUIS IV (blackjackaces) - and he stated one patient on the show is using afrezza. That is all. One is better then none.

They have no involvement in its content? Isn't it dangerous to agree to sponsor the show without a clause stipulating they have some approval over what's presented? After all, whatever they show ultimately reflects back on Mannkind.

After all, whatever they show ultimately reflects back on Mannkind. We do know from some time ago that management said this was an issue they were discussing with the FDA and made some reference to a reality medical TV show being "new territory" where what was allowable wasn't clear. One would presume that given subsequent statements about not having input into content means that it turned out to be not acceptable to FDA or that the requirements if it were to be controlled by MNKD (as a type of product placement) might have too onerous, such as having a doctors read all the prescribing details and warnings, not mention potential benefits not on label, etc. So, yes, I would suspect that they had no legal control. I would suspect the only control would be that the producers of Reversed would no that presenting Afrezza in a poor light in season 1 would be no way to get them back as a sponsor in season 2. To what extent they might have solicited "feedback" from MNKD will probably remain unknown.

What affiliation do they have with Mannkind or Afrezza? Far as I can tell they are pushing their own healthy agenda for PWD.

Afrezza is the show's sponsor, but it's the network that determines which ads air during the show.

Afrezza is the show's sponsor, but it's the network that determines which ads air during the show. The show appears to have several sponsors, Advanced Functional Medicine apparently being one of them. Mattocks invited them to be one. "As sponsors of 'REVERSED', the world's first Diabetes Docu-Series (Season 1 Premiere on The Discovery Life Channel July 18th 2017) we are delighted to present Advanced Functional Medicine's first National TV spot." www.advfunctionalmedicine.com/reversed-tv-spot"Celebrity Chef Charles Mattocks identified us as an ally in this growing movement to turn the tide on the “Pill for every ill”, symptom management led style of mainstream medicine and invited us to take a prime spot on the show with a commercial featuring real patients currently undergoing treatment who willingly volunteered their time for the shoot. ‘Reversed’ is a landmark for Diabetes awareness and treatment and Advanced Functional Medicine looks forward to nurturing a mutually beneficial relationship with Charles Mattocks, the ‘Reversed’ Team, Discovery Life Channel."

MNKD has a FDA approved insulin, that these people can take, that keeps their blood glucose from going high in the first place and they do not have to inject. **** We are the Champions**** The Winner**** And if you fight for the right hard enough, insurance will pay for it. mealtime insulin is on the standards of care.
