That's impressive the one message with 12k views. I think that is rather rare that social media posts get that many views. Most of the posts from Afrezza users I see are doing really good to break 100 views/likes/shares or whatever.
Found the line about "This isn't a promotion for Afrezza. However... " kinda interesting. It was quite positive about Afrezza for someone not doing promotion of it. Wonder what they would have said if it were promotion.
As for the basic question this poses, I think we've learned now from several years of great social media posts about Afrezza that it does not substitute for traditional advertising. Pharmaceuticals simply don't have much potential for "viral" interest.

Here is the comment diabetes_pa included with her instagram post:
"Wow, Inhaled insulin😱!? When I was first diagnosed I would have never dreamed that something like this could exist. But here it is, and it’s just one of the many incredible advancements that have been made in diabetes over the last few years. As I always say, having diabetes sucks, but now is a really good time to have it.👍🏼
.
So… how does Afrezza work? Does it work at all? And what is the context in which it should be used?
.
Afrezza is a rapid-acting insulin that comes in powder form and is inhaled using a small disposable inhaler (sort of like an albuterol inhaler). It is meant to be used as a replacement for rapid-acting insulin injections 💉(with meals or for correction boluses). It does not replace basal insulin! The onset of action is ~12 minutes (injections 10-20 minutes), the peak is 35-45 minutes (injection 1.5-2hrs), and it is out of the user’s system within 1.5-3hrs (injection 4-5hrs). Because it is inhaled, it cannot be used in people with a chronic respiratory illness such as asthma or COPD due to risk of bronchospasm. It is also not recommended for smokers or people who have recently quit smoking (within the last 6 months)🚬.
.
Afrezza comes in 3 forms; 4-unit, 8-unit, and 12-unit. For a requirement of more than 12 unites multiple inhalations are required. For example; if the user would normally take 4 injected units or less for a meal, then they would use the 4-unit inhalation dose; 5-8 injected units would require the 8-unit inhalation dose, and 9-12 injected units would require the 12-unit dose. For more than 12 units, the doses would be combined. For 13-16 injected units, the user would inhale two 8-unit doses or one 12-unit dose and one 4-unit dose.
.
As you all can see, the dosages aren’t very specific. This is where I personally have a problem with Afrezza. One of the many things that I love about my insulin pump is that I can give myself specific doses (down to 1/10th of a unit)👏🏼📟. Because of this, I can have very tight control and as long as I carb count correctly I will not over or under-dose my insulin. This allows for very steady BGs."

I have exactly zero followers on twitter, so I could retweet until the cows come home with no effect. For those with thousands of followers on twitter, I'd definitely recommend that  |

I have become a believer of the power of Twitter. You can drill down on the Twitter stats to see if people are reading the tweets. Look how many views my posting was to that person's instagram. I have been watching my twitter posting stats for over 18 months. I see some of the postings that used to get a couple hundred hits in a week now hitting the thousands mark. This one as of today had 3,789 views. You can bet that Afrezza is becoming better known every day.

kc, Do you think the number of "impressions" is driven by the followers you and the 8 people that retweeted have, or do you think that large number of followers is simply because of people following or searching for $MNKD or #afrezza? If it is the former that could mean it is getting new exposure for Afrezza. If the impressions were generated because of the $MNKD tag then it likely means it's a bunch of investors (and shorts) that had it "impressed" on them rather than introducing Afrezza to people that were unaware of it. I am not a twitter user. Am I correct in assuming that it is only the following mechanism by which people see tweets... - People that follow you the poster or follow one of the 8 people that retweeted - People that follow particular tags... $MNKD or #afrezza - People that search particular tags... $MNKD or #afrezza

The fact that the ADA puts up banners pumping a BP insulin means that social media has an impact and that they are bias. The only thing that actually means anything is the truth. |
