Type 1 diabetes can be treated, can be controlled, but cannot be cured. Type 2 diabetes initial stage, as I'm saying, if they did not have pre-diabetes for a long time and not been diagnosed for a long time, then along with the lifestyle, I don't, it's not curable, but it can be controlled. But it's preventable, like type 2 diabetes is preventable if people live healthy, you know, do regular exercise and do eat healthy food, reduce portion of meals, reduce portion of carbs, and they can prevent diabetes. And then also, again, if they're now diagnosed diabetes, can reverse it. There are some studies shown that with a strict diet and exercise it is reversible.
