Absolutely.
Oh, sure.
I think you bring up a good point.
I think we're trained to be siloed.
That's part of the problem as you go through graduate school and things like that.
Even medicine, right?
You have people trained in very specific areas, so they never look at the whole.
Yet we know, again, that we are homeostatic systems that involves all these different things.
And you'll never solve it.
I like to say when I got β because everybody on my father's side has died of heart problems.
And I used to have high cholesterol until I went on satin.
So I'm on PCSK9 inhibitors, and they're amazing.
And, you know, my heart guy would tell me, well, you need to raise your sentence.
He didn't think it was low enough.
He said, well, when I do that, my glucose goes up.
And that's very textbook, by the way.
And I finally called him.
I said, look, your job has stopped me from getting a heart attack, but you don't care if I have all these other complications, right?
And I would say the same to the diabetes people.
I'd say, well, you're trying to control my glucose, but you β some of these other things.
