And that is why I created the Diabetes Compass in my book. The Diabetes Compass connects all 6 gaps into one integrated plan. One person, one body, one direction. And the summit, or the goal, is to take least number of medications, to take the least number of doses that we can with excellent diabetes control and with protection of the heart and the kidneys and the brain. And that's what I call as lower the dose. But that is not anti-medication. That is just— A a way to say that let's not do polypharmacy. Let's not keep adding medications by every specialist that you're seeing, but keeping it to the bare minimum, which is very important, and optimizing those.
