In this segment, Dr. Jaiwant Rangi emphasizes the need for individuals to act as the "CEO" of their own health by adopting a proactive stance toward diabetes prevention. He warns that many people delay blood testing until diabetes is already present, which is unacceptable. The speaker urges regular, timely blood work—ideally annually or more often—to monitor glucose-related markers, and stresses the importance of partnering with a knowledgeable physician to interpret results and catch disease early. The overall message is to stop assuming everything is fine, understand one’s position on the diabetes risk spectrum, and take decisive action to prevent progression.

But most people don't get tested until they already have diabetes. So important for us to always stay on top of our game. Be your own advocate. Be a CEO of your own health. So you're always having a proactive approach to diabetes and you're looking at getting the right tests. Sometimes people don't get their blood tests done for a year, two, or three, and that is just unacceptable. You may progress at that time. So get the test early and get the right test. Work with the right doctor so we can help you catch things early. Don't take just everything is okay for an answer. You got to understand where where you are on the spectrum.
