MNKD/One Drop

[jmkopp]

This was posted to One Drop's Twitter yesterday.  Odd that there is no mention of Afrezza.  Maybe MNKD has partnered with someone else......I hope.

It won't let me post a link.

agedhippee, how often are you taking your blood glucoses? need more strips? lancets?
would it help to have the data tracked on your iPhone?
hum?

Marketing? the young are unaware this blood glucose technology has been available for years? take your blood glucose, write it down, make a chart.
if you only take your blood glucose level once a week, it do not think it will help?

this is not a treatment.it is a tool. a tool for the diabetic. the physician you see twice a year could care less.

Afrezza is listed in the infographic

I would think they would highlight Afrezza in the tweet, not just the link.  Also, I thought Afrezza's onset was quicker then the competition?  It shows them all at 15 min.

Certainly would have been nice if new label pharmacodynamics info had been reflected.

MNKD needs to play nice with all the manufacturers of glucose monitors. I don’t believe Co-promoting one over another would be in our best interest.

We could retwitterize it and draw attention to Afrezza.

you will see 15 mins on all the analogs package inserts. I wonder what the measurable effect is?  (trials that do not make endpoints are not published.)

I believe it is that Afrezza begins to peak in 12 to 15 minutes whereas the RAA's do not until 30 to 45 mins that is the big difference.

> I wonder what the measurable effect is?



- minimum detectable level.



Although "time to first measurable effects" may look similar, we also need to take the other two into consideration. i.e.,

- Time to peak

- Time to baseline level.

this is not a treatment.it is a tool. a tool for the diabetic. the physician you see twice a year could care less.

On a normal day, 4 times, on a bad day (yesterday) 11 times, on an idle day (this all seems like a lot of effort) 2 times. I have enough strip, and since it's a new year I just changed the needle in my lancet

I actually do track my data on my phone, or rather my meter has bluetooth and does it for me. The only innovation I liked with a meter was having it calculate doses automatically. This made me enter carbs and tracked my insulin. Then the insurance removed those strips from their formulary.... (did I say I hate insurers?)

I find looking after my levels easy enough, but annoying in that I don't want to do it. However that is the product of decades of experience and it very easy to forget how hard I found it all when I started. I have a huge amount of sympathy for people going through the titration learning curve with Afrezza because it is a far broader learning experience than just the insulin part and in the early days it is hard working out what is the insulin, what is illness, and what is you.

Whoops. To be clear - it's hard with all insulin, I am not picking on Afrezza.

Maybe someone could tweet them and tell them to use an updated graphic. The one they are using is dated April 12, 2016 prior to the label updates.

It would also be nice if their graphic included natural insulin and afrezza and zoomed in on the first 6 hours and not 36.

According to Al Mann it is much easier with afrezza.  While Al has always been years ahead of his time he has not been wrong yet so I am going with what Al said starting at 34M mark
