I thought @Jynx might think it was a harsh response to her post, in which they might have been making a joke. I have a healthcare background as you know so might have been too defensive.
Ah the 2am "red cordial" effect 🤣. As you probably know it's hard to get the short acting and long acting insulin ratio right, so get those night time spikes. or you might be on an insulin pump

Nah I think you are 100% correct @Till23 and I did not experience that as harsh at all. I am always down for being called out when I am wrong, and especially when it comes to something that could influence a person's health journey.
You are a good egg, I appreciate that you followed your instincts and didn't let it slide 💜
@Shaz51 😉

Thanks @Jynx I appreciate it.
I do not think you were wrong, just probably making light of something that I think is fairly serious.
Maybe I'm too serious, it's hard without the nuances of voice or facial expression

Fingers crossed it levels out a bit more if/when you get to dialysis @Shaz51 .
I'm not sure what my blood sugar is doing but my weight has bounced around since my hospital admission. I have to watch cholesterol too.

@Shaz51 so lots of meds and taking BSLs. A pump would make it easier but not everyone is suitable for it, or it's not suitable for everyone.

Do you think the weight is due to medications @Dimity, one of the lovely side effects of MH medications

Thanks @Jynx I have read your post previously.
I usually ask people if I think I may have been to direct or possibly caused a feeling of "harm" to someone else. I'm fairly sensitive about "hurting" other people.
