We have a member, he is 57. He had a stroke. He's paralyzed on one side. He has a horrible diet. He's diabetic. He has high blood pressure. He has high cholesterol. And his hemoglobin A1C is 11.8. Now, hemoglobin A1C, you're diabetic, it shouldn't be more than 7. Anytime you're in the range between 6.2 or above, you're a diabetic. You're pre-diabetic when you have 5.7, 5.8 to 6.2, but you are diagnosed a diabetic if you're anywhere above 6.2 hemoglobin A1C. He is at 11, and he's been a long-time diabetic. He already had a stroke, so I already know that he has endothelial dysfunction. He has blood vessel problem, pretty severe. He'd been in our Modern Man Club. He'd been following the roadmap that we give him for 90 days. He started the Mediterranean diet. He attend every session with our nutrition coach.
