Re: Actually it was a 4-day week.

First ...

The usage data just reported was for the period ending on Friday, May 22. Memorial day was on the following Monday, May 25. So the week being reported was a standard 5-day work week.

Second ...

People having Diabetes really do need their medicine. They are not going to wait till the last minute and run out of their medication then all of a sudden discover that their favorite pharmacy is closed because of a holiday. Furthermore, I went shopping on the Monday of Memorial day, and two of the stores I went to had pharmacies and their prescription windows were open. They are also open on Saturdays, and maybe a few hours on Sundays.

Third ...

None of these statistics mean anything (except for one statistic). The Afrezza numbers being reported are so small such that it is much too early to make any conclusions regarding rates of adoption of Afrezza, except for one conclusion.

What is that one conclusion? On the scale of people having diabetes in the USA, the number of Afrezza users could just as well be 0. It really doesn't matter if there were 58 refills during the last week reported or 100 refills during that week. As of 2012: "29.1 million Americans, or 9.3% of the population, had diabetes." What does 58 really mean when compared to 29,100,000?
