[00:00:03]Let's suppose you go to see your physician [snorts] and your physician says, "Hey Joe, God forbid, it looks like your blood sugar is very high and I'm going to classify you as now, never mind pre-diabetic, I think you're diabetic. And if we don't manage your sugar levels, there will come a day where I can tell you exactly what's going to happen. We're going to have to amputate your extremities.

[00:00:25]You're probably going to lose your eyesight. You're probably going to have sexual dysfunction and you're probably going to have some cardiovascular incident."

[00:00:33]That doesn't happen on day two of you having been diagnosed with diabetes.
