Diabetes treatment, like we said, is usually about managing glucose, but these drugs work a little bit differently. voice-verified

What are they and what do they do? voice-verified

They still do manage your blood sugar though, don't they? voice-verified

So is there still a place for antihypertensive cholesterol-lowering drugs in people with diabetes? voice-verified

Right, so why do we need to be looking at drugs at all? voice-verified

Couldn't we be doing more to just prevent people from getting diabetes in the first place with lifestyle interventions and those sorts of things? voice-verified

Right, so it's a diverse portfolio that you're looking at. voice-verified

So you looked at a large lifestyle modification program for diabetes intervention, a sugar tax and widespread use of these SGLT2Is among people with diabetes. voice-verified

What sort of results were you seeing at different time increments in your projections? voice-verified

Because we are seeing an upward tick in the trajectory of diabetes incidents in Australia. voice-verified

What's the status of these drugs at the moment in terms of who they're approved for? voice-verified

Right. voice-verified
