So, when are we gonna know if it's a real deal and then about a few broad stroke details? I hope before the AGM, however, I have heard that with the President going to the Middle East at the end of this week, any announcement may be delayed in order that he take part in the local ceremony! He definitely wants to be front and center on something this "yuge." He has disguised his mission to the Middle East as something to do with diplomacy, but now we know the real reason behind his visit. Do not ask me how I know about this, I cannot answer, because, as you know, there are no leaks emanating from the White House, so this is real insider stuff! I do hope you all know the above is . I don't want to have to kill you for spilling the beans but today. (not political) President Trump met with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed for talks in Washington today.
Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi , signs the guest book upon arriving at the White House for a meeting with US president Donald Trump on May 15, 2017. Ryan Carter / Crown Prince Court - Abu Dhabi
ABU DHABI // Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed met Donald Trump for talks. Where was Matt today? Will the Sheik be heading north to Danbury for the Shareholders meeting? Call Aegis and find out. This could really be YUGE!
(my attempt at satire). (Fake News)

They have 360 million AUM. Not a huge player. IMO Pretty unprofessional to send out cards and not have anyone prepared to take the calls or underestimated the number of nut jobs that hold stock in this company and are calling in nonstop. I guess I qualify as a Nut Job. My wife would agree.
My guess is they can't talk about the card until some release? Perhaps this is the reason or perhaps not. You don't see 32 Million shares trading last Wed and then for the week over 70,000,000 shares if there is not some type of cataclysmic event getting ready to happen. Will it be good or bad for us? who knows. at this time we are nothing more than uninformed shareholders playing the guessing game and hoping that we find a pathway to get some of our equity back eventually .

Years ago, I remember Disney having a similar promotion, "there's something new in the Matterhorn." It was the addition of the Sasquatch. Anyone think this may be similar? Where is that Lizard when we need it to eat the Sasquatch.

For the record I have received 8 of the cards since Friday and did not want to comment until I talked to the names on the cards. No call back response from Bryan Lubitz, Senior VP or Frank Giacalone Senior VP. Something is up? Maybe no call back from them until after The shareholders meeting? Recent Developments with regard to MannKind. But they don't call you back? The card appears to have been sanctioned by MannKind Corporation? Just another mystery of our investment. Why do you think the card was "sanctioned" by Mannkind? Aegis could have gotten your address from your broker, as has been explained earlier on this board. I have received no such card, probably because my holdings are relatively small and spread across three accounts. The Front of the Card appears to have that endorsement.
MannKind Corporation 25134 Rye Canyon Loop Suite 300 Valencia, CA 91355
Tel: (661)775-5300
I would think that it would not show the company as the sender if they were not involved in some fashion. Now the list had to come from individual brokerage houses.

Now one has to peel the onion back further. look at this link on the One Drop web site.

Company announces partnership with The National Health Insurance Company – Daman, the UAE’s leading specialized health insurer, making comprehensive diabetes care available to more than 3 million members in the UAE via the One Drop | Professional enterprise platform.
December 15, 2016 — New York — One Drop today announced that The National Health Insurance Company – Daman (“Daman”), the UAE’s largest and most innovative health insurer, has chosen One Drop to lead its digital and mobile health innovation efforts in diabetes.
One Drop’s enterprise solution, One Drop | Professional, has been implemented by Daman to empower its members living with diabetes to monitor and take charge of their health through easy-to-use, accessible technology. One Drop | Professional is a population health management platform that fosters real-time interactions between people with diabetes and their healthcare teams. With One Drop | Professional, members track their health data and receive personalized health coaching through the One Drop | Mobile platform. Care providers are able to view members’ health data in real-time and provide relevant, highly personalized education and support in the context of everyday life, which is when these interactions are needed most.
“We are committed to using the most innovative technology to expand quality and effectiveness of care, and through our partnership with One Drop we expect to make great strides in diabetes management and outcomes,” said Dr. Michael Bitzer, Chief Executive Officer at Daman. “One Drop’s platform offers a way to fill the gap between clinic visits, allowing for the continuity of care necessary for people with diabetes to get and stay healthy.”
One Drop | Professional has been adapted for Daman based on a thorough understanding of the social habits, lifestyles and culture of the people of the UAE. The One Drop | Mobile experience has been enhanced to include special features for Daman members, including Arabic language support, region-specific food data, a 9-week lesson plan, and curated content via the in-app news feed. Daman members also have access to premium features that allow them to communicate with Daman health coaches to get the information and support needed for improved blood glucose management.
Over the past few decades, rapid economic growth across the Middle East has led to a rapid change of lifestyle and a corresponding increase in the rates of diabetes in the region. Today, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have the highest prevalence of diabetes in the world, with nearly 35 million people (1 in every 10) diagnosed. According to the International Diabetes Federation, 19.3 percent of adults ages 20 to 79 in the United Arab Emirates have diabetes, and it is among of the leading causes of premature death. Spending on diabetes care in the MENA region is estimated to rise from $16.8 billion in 2014 to $24.7 billion in 2035, threatening to impact economics and bankrupt healthcare systems.
Governments and healthcare providers have recognized the severity of epidemic and, beginning in 2009, the UAE government rolled out a ten-year plan to fight the disease including increased diabetes research, public awareness campaigns, and updated medical facilities. Daman is taking an innovative approach by using mobile technology to move care beyond the clinic and into people’s everyday lives. One Drop | Professional combines the use of real-time data and human support to empower people to take ownership of their diabetes management in a way that is motivating, encouraging, and long-lasting. Daman members are able to see the relationship between their behaviors and blood sugars each day and, with the continuous support of their coach, effect positive behavioral change and avoid long-term complications.
“Daman is an ideal partner for implementing One Drop | Professional, given its focus on providing members with smart choices and the highest possible level of support, comfort and convenience when it comes to healthcare.” said Jeff Dachis, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of One Drop. “The UAE is among the countries facing the highest diabetes rates in the world. Our collective goal is to provide affordable, accessible, and effective evidence-based care to improve outcomes for the people who need it most.”

I am not convinced of anything at this time. You don't know how the folks in the UAE even work. It might be a local drug distribution Pharma in the UAE market buying a license to market and sell Afrezza directly to the Single Payer health care system. Do we know how the system works in the UAE. We can't assume its like the US distribution of drugs with Insurance and co-pay. I don't know but believe its run by the Government there.

I like the connections and tie-in to the UAE with Daman.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn last year and had breakfast at a great Greek Diner that was about four blocks from the Danbury office. Wish I could attend this year. Schedule does not permit.

Packages are small and easy to ship by scheduled airfreight. Today the cost of air freight is very cheap mainly because of the Amazon affect. FedEx, UPS and many other scheduled air freighters ride service to the Middle eastern countries.

I don't think those were refrigerated. I do not see an extension cord. I guess you could say they are cordless containers. But seriously refrigerated shipping containers typically run on diesel and have enough fuel to power them for whatever length the journey might be.
