I think one final question and apologies if this is a bit, maybe, offensive, not offensive, but straightforward, I guess. Do you, because I've heard, you know, also from other patients and doctors that during the winter weather, for example, we get like flu more easily and do you do you find you know during the cold weather that there's certain complications that are more common for you related to maybe diabetes? I'm thinking there there are symptoms that are more common for me and my my jury is still out in terms of whether it's down to me or due to me and my diabetes but I'm more prone to upper respiratory tract infections and I'm someone who has had pneumonia and been hospitalized for it a few years ago but I think my upper respiratory tract is my weak spot. Is that me or is that diabetes? I don't know But what I do about it is make sure that I have the flu vaccination and all of the course of COVID vaccinations in order to offer me the best protection I can get. And just better overall health in general? I think so, yeah.
