Dr. Qureshi, our previous Prime Minister used to wear an insulin pump or an insulin sensor or a glucose sensor? So Theresa May used to wear a Freestyle Libra sensor and she used an insulin pump but I think she was using injectable therapy. Tell us about the insulin sensor, the Freestyle Libra Freestyle, what does it do? So the Freestyle Libra is meant to be an implantable subcutaneous sensor which predominantly assesses your blood sugar in your subcutaneous tissue. It transmits it through Bluetooth into a device which you hold into your hand. It's predominantly a non-invasive way to monitor your blood sugars. The sensors would work for two weeks at one time. You always get a pair of sensors that you can get when you buy or start the pack. But you can monitor your blood sugars without the all picking of the fingers is done through by touching the device onto your sensor and it picks it up. It collects data for up to eight days and it can do continuous glucose monitoring overnight. So it's essentially continuous glucose monitoring, essentially a cardiac Doppler, a cardiac halter for glucose monitoring. Thank you.
