Group 7-day waking average?

My GP uses an app called Airmid U.K. and that gives full access to my complete medical records.
And it means I can add notes directly into the file if something’s been noted incorrectly.

Hospitals and GP’s are giving access to medical records only when they believe it’s right to do so and it’s progressing at a snail’s pace. I can order repeat prescriptions online, but they don’t even read messages left on the system. I get no feedback from my GP after hospital visits.

I’m always told to phone for results. At the end of my cardiac rehab at the hospital they took me aside to take blood for a raft of tests. I asked if they’d do an HbA1c and was told, “Yes, of course”.
 
Congrats on the HS @MeeTooTeeTwo

A 6.1 for me at 05:54 this morning. It's dizzily and horrid in West Berks this morning
 
Just measured BP and it seems the monitor is perhaps hyper sensitive to positioning.

Unfortunately it’s logged the first three as the source readings for the average and I can’t figure out how to delete the outlier.

@ColinUK Those wrist monitors are not the best and I believe you need to make sure the monitor is on a level with your heart or higher by finding somewhere elevated to rest your arm/hand whilst you test.
A bit shocking that they would do a welfare check at such an unsociable hour!! I imagine there is a lot of pressure on them at the moment though to follow up on sexual assault victims, to check they are safe. At least it gives you a sense that they are dealing with the matter seriously. Hope it didn't send your BP too high. I know someone banging on my door at that hour would put a rocket under my BP. Good that there was some eye candy compensation though!
 
@ColinUK most of our police officers are of the older generation, not very fit and certainly not eye candy, there is however one young good looking chap on the force, I daren't mention it though as it's Bruce's cousin! 😳 xx

A 30g portion of walnuts, for example, is not much more than a single gram of carb but has just over 200 calorie

Interesting. I’ve not done it, so need to weigh out 30g to see what it looks like - or weigh each time.
 
Hello there. :D 3.9 here.

Dropped the car off for its MOT first thing, then walked the dogs - there’s a lot more people around an hour after we usually go out. 😳 It’ll be a bit of a shock when the tourists are allowed back, hahaha.😎
 
@rebrascora: I agree, but I use salted KP peanuts, washed. I like the taste. The packet says 5.6 g carbohydrate per 100g of nuts. Interesting because plain ol peanuts come in at about 16g carbs per 100g of nuts.

I wonder why their nuts have so few carbs.

I will look into cream (so to speak)

I will continue the test with peanut butter again today.

Thanks

Funny thing is I just got access to my Airmid records this morning and wish I had not read my scan results as its full of stuff I don't understand, Liver I knew was fatty from years ago so obviously that shows but a few other bits look scary to me so Im not going anywhere near google will just wait for other bloods to come back re liver. Pancreas looks ok and gallstones still hanging about and no mention of liver scaring or inflammation just one I don't understand so will leave that to GP.
 
4.6 for me this morning however libre seems to think I slept through a few hours at 3.

Was a bit naughty with my food options yesterday as Tesco shopping arrived and I knew all those tasty snacks were luring me from the cupboard. Not today though snacks.

The only tourists we get are stag dos so I cant imagine what it's like for people living in UK tourist parts these days with the covid around. Wales is so purdy though.

My gut feeling would be that their nutritional info is incorrect. I can't see any way that their peanuts can have half the carb content of other peanuts, and do remember that if you wash the salt/coating off them you will be increasing the carb content slightly because the salt doesn't contain carbs.... I know this will make a minimal difference when the salt content is 1.4%
Just checked the nutritional info on KP and compared with other peanuts and they don't declare the Fibre content but state the "of which sugars" is 5.099999 of the total carb content of 5.6!! I think someone has subtracted the fibre from the total carbs on the British product. If you add up all their nutrients (protein fat carbs and salt) you are missing about 13% If you assume an average fibre content of 7% for peanuts that is 6% left. If you add that 6% on to the 5.6% carbs they claim, you would get somewhere near the same carb content as other brands. Whilst I accept that there will be some slight variation in the nutritional content of peanuts, a 50% difference is extremely unlikely and with their other figures not adding up, it suggests their info is erroneous.
 
@rebrascora not quite sure why you think rinsing salt off increases the carbs any? xx

It is the same as skimming milk. Salt (and fat in the case of milk) contains no carbs, therefore the remaining food has a higher % carb content. Same with fruit juice. If you remove the fibre by squeezing and filtering the fruit, the % carb content of the juice increases compared to the fruit that you started with because the Fibre which does not contain digestible carbs has been removed.
 
In the case of salted peanuts it is extremely minimal since the salt content is only 1.4% and I probably shouldn't have mentioned it as it just muddies the water.

It’s an Omron R7 something and it’s got a positioning tool on it.
basically you turn it on and there’s a blue heart which lights up if it’s in the right place. If you’re too high or low with your arm it guides you to correct the posture.
It’s on the approved list from British Hypertension Society so it should be ok.
It’s considerably easier to use than my previous monitor and such a small device that it’s truly portable and quite discreet to use if you did have to take it out of home.
 
@rebrascora it's not quite the same, the fat is already part of the product before skimming it whereas in the case of salted nuts it was added after and as there is no carbs in salt then it wouldn't increase after rinsing seen as the salt wouldn't add that much weight to the product anyway xx

The product is "salted peanuts" in this case so the salt is part of the product and included in the product nutritional information, but I have already agreed that it is extremely minimal and I probably shouldn't have mentioned it as it confuses the issue because it is so negligible.
 
12:50 BS 10.2 after 2 hours of DP! Got a call from my SIL around 11am, chatted & couldn’t get back to sleep, gave it up & tested! My fingers are very tender & sore today as I decided to buff off the hard skin as it was catching & didn’t want any tears but, I overdid it & I can see that this morning; at the time I didn’t feel it but, remembered to stop despite some bits of the edges were still left! Thank goodness I did stop or it’d be even more raw today: getting feet done by podiatrist is like that too; feels ok at the time but, tender the next day! Not going to frown but, can’t help a little :confused: so, so half frown: know technically it’s supposed to be a confused emoji but, that’s what it means to me at this moment;:confused: meaning a so, so half frown! AND, that has made me laugh!:D Making do with the official emojis available to me & putting my own spin on it!:Do_O

A Very G’day Mates to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 It’s SO late it CAN only be an Australian greeting today!😳

Oh yes! Just to put my 2 cents worth on peanut butter I’ve used it in the past, during cycles where my BS was fluctuating at a lower level I’ve left it this time at a higher level, I’d take a teaspoon of it on an oatcake to stop my levels dropping too much while I slept! The fat makes it a slow steady release of carbs & that may be why your levels @Gwynn stayed elevated for longer? 🙄 That’ll have to do for a Uhm! thinking emoji!

And congratulations on another HS Dez @MeeTooTeeTwo 😎😛:D😉
