You know, I agree with that. You know, the positive measurement maybe will come from just anecdotal reactions where people will say, geez, you know, it's because of you that, you know, I personally changed my lifestyle. And you know what? That's great. You know, that's like a 100% increase, you know, as far as I'm concerned.

I remember it took, God, 25 years or so to get to convince people to put kids in child restraint seats and to wear seat belts, for God's sakes. I mean, these are things that take time. I'd be remiss to not bring this up. What effect do you think COVID had on addressing and being successful, hopefully, in getting information out to the public about diabetes?

Because to be honest with you, maybe I'm wrong, but when COVID was here, still is, but not like it was a few years ago, That was heavy on everybody's minds. That was it.

Hold it.

Hold it.

Yeah, things happen like this. You know, and believe it or not, you know, for listening, we'll have another pandemic somewhere down the road. And hopefully there'll be lessons learned from it. Julie, go ahead.

You know, the other community conversation that I was thinking of, and I was wondering if there's been some thought about it, is how is it that we can coalesce healthcare professionals around good messaging?

et cetera, in a room and say, okay, we are hopefully the trusted professionals that can provide useful information. How is it that we can all be on the same page when we do this so that we have a common denominator of knowledge that we can share with these communities out there so that they know that they're getting some good, useful information.

I could see a group get together on just, um, health messaging, you know, because, you know, many of these things overlap, you know, with like cardiovascular disease or even cancer. Um, I think it would be a very, very useful enterprise to do that.
