[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 1610705, member: 93504"] I don't [U]know [/U] the answers to [USER=216415]@Mr_Pot[/USER] 's questions, but I'll have a go. 1. If you lose 10% of your red blood cells, in a steady way, every week and they are replaced in the same steady way AND you take in and produce glucose in the same even way, I'm sure that is the beginning of a mathematical equation. However, you have a late night, a slice of birthday cake, go on holidays, get flu and the whole thing is all over the place and your guess is as good as mine. The maths could give a vague idea, but won't be accurate in the real world. 2. I suppose the last four weeks is more relevant because you will almost certainly still have all the red blood cells created in this period, older ones are more likely to have died off, so the effects of sticky toffee pudding from eight weeks ago, may have largely gone, but last week's indulgence will definitely still be there. Regard recent weeks as being weighted, but not negated. Hope this makes sense to somebody! Sally [/QUOTE]
