So let's start this whole thing out by focusing on, first of all, when you say diabetes, it's one thing. When you say childhood, diabetes. What are we really referring to? How do you define that age category of childhood?
So thanks for having us. We're really excited to be here talking to Stan and Clarence and Barry. So when you think about diabetes, a lot of times people think of type 1 diabetes, which isn't what we're focusing on here, which is a condition that you know, has complex origins, but type two diabetes used to be referred to as adult onset diabetes. So when I started my career many years ago, you just, we called it adult onset diabetes. And then I started seeing children in a clinic that I was working in, children with severe obesity, starting to be diagnosed with type two or adult onset diabetes. And it was really, really concerning. This is a type of diabetes that is considered largely preventable.
