Well, I believe I do, but I'm afraid they're not terribly technical, but I think just to explain, I know that type 2 diabetes is almost entirely controlled by drugs, type 1 is controlled by injection of insulin, perhaps other things. And it's, in fact, as I understand it, type one gives you much more flexibility in dealing with the problem. But that may be a misapprehension of mine. I've always found it very easy to meet the parameters parameters that, you know, the boundaries of where I should be on my counts, my diabetes count. I've always been there or thereabouts in terms of the target figure. So I don't know whether that's probably very much a layman's description of it, but I haven't needed to really research into what type 1 diabetes means.
