Yeah, better choices. Yeah, Claire.

Yeah, Clarence, you're on mute.

So let me ask you, so the Department of Health, this is the State Department of Health in Minnesota, Health Chatter goes to a variety of different people around the United States. Are we seeing similar problems in different areas of the United States and in different communities? Or is it

is what we're seeing for childhood diabetes pretty consistent nationwide as far as prevention-oriented activities in order to help make a difference here. So are we only talking about Minnesota or can we generalize to the greater United States?

So, you know, our illustrious crew put together some great research here. And I think maybe just to save a little time here, it might be useful for our listening audience to hear some of the symptoms of childhood diabetes. So you see things like increased thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, fatigue, blurry vision, where they might be complaining about that.

And also can even lead to depression. frequent infections. Risk factors, we've kind of talked about a little bit here. Inactivity, diet, obviously. Family history, which I think we should maybe touch on a little bit. Race and ethnicity, which I really want to dive into deeper here. So let's talk about family history, first of all.

So genetics, I guess, is maybe a way of putting it for our listening audience. Higher risk just because you're perhaps genetically predisposed?

Okay. All right. So let's dive into some of these race and ethnicity issues. Unfortunately, and Clarence and I have had many chats with, you know, on a variety of chronic conditions. And it really is unfortunate that we see that, again, diabetes in this case, we see higher prevalence in, for instance, the African American population or American Indian population.

Seems like just about any disease that disease, these, these communities are, are at higher risk. But for today, let's talk about diabetes and specifically the, the populations that it's really hitting hard.

Do we deal with, like for the Department of Health, do they deal with food desert?
