[00:00:00]I want to just define that type diabetes because I think I went through a lot of my life assuming that diabetes was a disease that some people are born with and because I didn't have it, I thought I didn't need to worry about that.

[00:00:09]>> That's really important. Yeah. So, first of all, there's type 1 diabetes and type 2.

[00:00:15]But before I can explain about diabetes, I need to explain about insulin. This is absolutely key to our whole discussion.

[00:00:26]So, I've already said that a high blood sugar damages your arteries and in fact, there's work to show that a very high blood sugar damages the non-stick lining of your arteries within 6 hours. Oh, wow. Really quick. It's called the glycocalyx, the non-stick lining, and damage is occurring very quickly.

[00:00:47]So, I'm going to ask you a really stupid question. When you say high blood sugar, I get high blood sugar when I eat lots of sugar.

[00:00:54]Okay. So, first of all, we're actually talking about glucose. Yeah. And sugar can mean table sugar or it could mean many different things, but we're actually talking about blood glucose.

[00:01:06]>> Which comes from lots of foods.

[00:01:08]>> Which comes from many foods.

[00:01:09]Carbohydrate-heavy foods.

[00:01:11]Yes. Yes, it does. It does. So, that that's right. But you have the hormone insulin to defend you from poor diet
