If MNKD/RLS need any volunteers to test the Technosphere marijuana I'd be more than happy to partake! I think the pain of being a very long time MNKD shareholder has more than qualified me for this therapeutic relief! I'll be happy to sign up too! And Afrezzamiracle, we are both listed as researchers on Proboards, it's only fitting that we partake. And I'm even taking meds for chronic pain. That should ensure my spot on the research team. That sign up sheet may fill up fast! GLTA

Ray wasn't specific, but the data from the study, "Improving Efficacy of Inhaled Technosphere Insulin (Afrezza) by Postmeal Dosing..." may be what he was referring to. MannKind must establish protocols that will demonstrate the very best efficacy possible for these pediatric trials.
Non-inferior is not good enough, IMHO. MannKind must have the objective of demonstrating via these Phase IV trials that Afrezza is clearly a superior prandial insulin for pediatric use. I'm also a bit excited about his mention of using Afrezza with artificial pancreas systems. I liked when I read about using the use of AFREZZA with the artificial pancreas systems too. It has been my belief since I read about the "artificial pancreas" that AFREZZA is the most fitting to accomplish the goal at hand, and really, nothing else comes close. So I often wondered why there was never a mention of AFREZZA. Now thankfully, there is! We've got to start gaining momentum some time...

Exactly, It's events like this that MNKD can organically put together a story that is newsworthy to get the word out about AFREZZA. Hopefully, MNKD seizes this opportunity, instead of yet another missed opportunity. We're all waiting/watching. Show us something fellas!! GLTA TRUE LONGS! What were all the "missed" opportunities you refer to? Since the announcement of the FDA approval of AFREZZA, to the partnering with Sanofi (although turned out to be a bust) To joining with JDRF and other opportunities as well. None of those events were expanded on at all to gain notoriety. The silence has been much more prevelant than the announcements. And here we are, entering our third year after the FDA approval, and so many have not even heard of AFREZZA. IMHO, It does not make good business sense. GLTA TRUE LONGS!

I was wondering how news worthy the official launch of the new pediatric study will be. When is the last time a new type of insulin treatment was being studied for kids? This could be an opportunity for Afrezza visibility with JDRF being a partner on this effort. Exactly, It's events like this that MNKD can organically put together a story that is newsworthy to get the word out about AFREZZA. Hopefully, MNKD seizes this opportunity, instead of yet another missed opportunity. We're all waiting/watching. Show us something fellas!! GLTA TRUE LONGS!

Well you didn't say you were baffled. You asked 3 questions. And I gave you a place you could find the results of your questions. Great answer! Sports, "You, you, you're good, you!" (from another great film) GLTA TRUE LONGS!

Boy I really had to search for this! I can't get to YMB anymore so I looked on ST. Someone asked him how things were going with Vdex? Here is his answer: Nov. 10 at 3:19 PM Pkgossett @luv_MANN can't go into much detail but ramping up nicely. Afrezza is not going away, that's for sure. Bullish 2 via StockTwits for iOS You are definitely on the case Sports! I remember that post! Happy New Year!

Restrictions ultimately mean crap. I see tons of physicians say, "I was reading a study/a new study came out let's give it a try and see what happens." Part of the job of a physician is being able to evaluate data and studies, use common sense, and practice medicine. You aren't practicing medicine if you are doing an outdated procedure/technique or utilizing the same harmful and ineffective drugs and regimens if there is significant evidence to suggest your methods fail and are unsuccessful majoirty of the time. Practicing medicine is the ones reading studies, asking questions, seeking answers, and utilizing and trying the newest things they read and hear about when the right time arrises, which will arise, because a true care providor isn't aftaid to try and fix the problem and make mistakes or successes and thus learn and contribute to advancing medicine instead of being a robot. Can you show me those studies with significant evidence? Blame docs all you want. It's MNKD's fault for not proving superiority. Docs are just following the studies that have been done. Those studies are usually done by pharmas. They're doing the best they can with what they've got. And you wouldn't last long as a doc with that mentality. You'd have so many lawsuits you wouldn't have a cardboard box over your head by the time lawyers were done with you. Sophie, The fact that AFREZZA has not been officially proven to be superior, begins with the way that the FDA set up the trials for AFREZZA. They only had to prove to be non inferior! And the way that the FDA set things up, (having the participants inhale AFREZZA so early before their meal) We are lucky that AFREZZA did not fail. That was not MNKDS fault! MNKD had to follow the protocol! You should understand that! Has MNKD crossed every t and dotted every I? Unfortunately not! They have made major mistakes and at the same time overcome major hurdles. I do not claim to understand the MO of MNKD, and honestly have had a different opinion of what MNKD should have been doing as opposed to what they are actually doing, but it's out of our hands. We investors have been left in the dark with basically only speculation as to where this company is going. For years! I have owned MNKD for about 7 years and I realize that I have said these words before, but I honestly feel that we are going to get some very positive news from MNKD in the very near future. Maybe it is optimist hope, but it appears that many components seem to be gaining allignment to get us to a successful point. Regardless, It is crunch time either way! Time will tell! GLTA TRUE LONGS!

I missed the original dinner set-up....what's the purpose? I probably won't anyway. Dinner out is not my thing after 36 years of air flights and dinners out on business. I can't remember if I ever met Jackie but I've been in CL for 23 years so it's very likely I know her face. Rick and I spent a fair amt. of time at the local saloon, drinking brew and playing pool as well as time on the water ......which is why I have to go to SD tomorrow to get my "suntan" surgery. Glad you are back to posting again Mike! Personally, I value your opinion/perspective and look forward to your posts. Good luck with your surgery tomorrow man, hope all goes well!! Here's to 2017 being THE year for MNKD and "it's shareholders" Mike C actually mentioned us!! GLTA TRUE LONGS!!

Let's see, she walks into a restaurant with that black dress on. All heads are turning! She orders a lot of food. Her date teases her about it. Then she takes the dreamboat out of her purse. All heads turn..they were all watching her anyway:-) She takes a long drag. Then blows it out really slow. Her dates like, wh wh what was that? She smiles, tells him she's a PWD and about Afrezza. That she has no fear of lows. It's in and out sooo fast! No fear of food. And no longer has to stick herself all day long. Someone from another table who just happeneds to be a PWD and is just about to give himself a shot stops in his tracks. Looks at his wife and says, did you see that? I want what she's having! Ok careful now its your turn:-) Forgot .. As her and her date are walking out all the FDA stuff is playing. He turns her to him and tells her she is amazing. Starts kissing her. The end. I want to play. Sports, I like the date idea so im going to run with it! A woman walks into a restaurant to meet whom is obviously a blind date. They both sit down. Neither of them know the other is diabetic. The man pauses the conversation abruptly to be excused. He grabs a small pouch trying not to have her notice. But she does. The meal arrives at the same time he returns. The woman candidly smiles knowing why he had left, she reaches into her purse, takes a breath while gazing passionately at him, and places it back into her purse. Hes in awe. She chuckles with pride. He begins smiling. The ice is broken and the tension is gone. "Afrezza...just breathe". And cut. I could get used to this. Not bad for a couple of amateurs! Honestly! Think where a professional could go with this! There is a lot of material in which to build upon if you combine it with advertising savy. I'll admit and own my shortcomings, and I cannot top these so I'm sorry, I'm out of the runnings! But nice job! Who's next?

I think that with a supposed limited amount of $$ for advertising, the ad that MNKD finally puts on TV should be ground breaking. While this video is promoting AFREZZA, it lacks the level of professional quality that is needed to impress and attract the interest of the general public. It's fine for a you tube video, but a television ad needs to step it up! When MNKD finally decides to advertise AFREZZA, The ads need to be as impressive and ground breaking as AFREZZA is to a diabetic. Sending out anything less than perfect in an ad campaign would be a waste of money. We cannot afford any missteps or blunders at this time. Leave the ad campaign to the professionals. GLTA TRUE LONGS! I'm with ya! I would like one with Laura in it. Using Afrezza and talking about not being a pin cushion. She makes it look easy, cool. It's a ( I want what she's having thing:-) What would be your idea for a good one? if you're asking me directly Sports, IDK, but you may be onto something with your inference to Meg Ryan (who can forget that scene?) Anytime you can tastefully infuse a sexual inuendo into advertising, it seems to work! Run with it! You may be onto something! It would be interesting to hear "The rest of the story". (Paul Harvey phrase)

CNBC - within the last hour, CNBC announced that diabeties was the leading disease for health care spending in 2016, followed by heart disease. Nothing more, just that short statement. Too bad MNKD can't get coverage on Dr. Oz or any of the other tv talk shows. I've written to the Dr. Oz show suggesting they do a segment on Afrezza, but never got any response. Maybe I should write to CNBC to do a follow up to today's comments and suggest they do a story on Afrezza. It couldn't hurt!! Knowing that a key element to minimize the damage caused by diabetes is that of maintaining a lower A1C, And knowing that AFREZZA along with Tresiba and even Lantus can acheive this, One would think that insurance companies would be forward thinking enough to recognize AFREZZA'S true value! Doesn't it seem obvious? GLTA TRUE LONGS!

♥Afrezza is the game changer in diabetes treatment that you probably haven't heard about.
Nice to see! So far, three of us have watched it and liked it. Thats a start... Now we only need for the millions of Diabetics and their docs to see it and like it too! And then we may finally get somewhere!

Fact. Afrezza isn't profitable. Fact, afrezza is a miracle and fastest acting prandial treatment. Since we're going with this "fact" thing for some reason, Here's one more... Fact. AFREZZA is second only to a healthy human pancreas! No other treatment for Diabetes can make that claim! GLTA TRUE LONGS!

Interesting... In addition to our common interest in investing in MNKD, My 18 year marriage just ended this past year. Looking forward to brighter days and to both of your reports! GLTA TRUE LONGS! Sorry to hear careful2invest. I'm much happier now than I was then. I had a client that had been married twice. 5 years in between each marriage. He told me those 5 years were the best of his life:-))) ( Made me feel better at the time ). I think we have like 4 people talking about going now. Then dinner in SD or Temecula. If Lynn and coco are reading this talk to baba:-)). Anyone else who wants to get together let me know:-)) Thanks Sports! I'll be alright! You know the saying "One door closes, many open". Thats where I'm at! Looking for new adventures. Unfortunately, I have prior obligations during this conference, but will entertain getting together for the next one. Before the YMB board went to crap, (along with the stock price), many of us longs used to talk about getting together for a celebratory gathering at a resort. Maybe that can still happen with this board! Hopefully 2017 gives is a reason to celebrate our investment in MNKD! GLTA TRUE LONGS!
