+# Assignments
+
+The goal here is to understand what types of patients get diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and explore if we can do early detection. 
+You should start from the assignment from Day 7 where you counted patients with Diabetes, prescribed Metformin, and getting insulin.
+
+## Questions
+1. 1. What are some characteristics (demographics, other diagnosis, procedures, medications, any other history you can get in the data) of patients who have type 2 diabetes?
+2.  - list at least 10 things that this group has in common
+3. 2. How are these charactersitcs different for patients who don't have type 2 diabetes?
+     - list at least 10 things that they don't have in common
+   3. Now can you identify patients who have many/most of the characteristics you identified in question 1 but do not have type 2 diabetes in the data?
+       - how many such patients can you identify?
+       - how many of the characteristics do they have from the list you created in question 1?
+  4. Of the patients you identify in question 3, could some of them have type 2 diabetes? why or why not?
