Confused by GP comment on blood test

[Pinkorchid]

Hi Pinkorchid
I'm hoping this link works http://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/gp...st-medical-records-from-2020/20038203.article
From -April 2020 as part of the agreed new GP contract GP's must start putting current records online and have until April 2021 to put all of a patient's past records on line so you'll not have long to wait.

To be honest I am not bothered anyway about seeing my records there would not be much to read as they would have a very large gap in them because I never needed to visit a doctor for years and years. I only take tablet blood pressure tablets and apart from the T2 which is pretty well controlled I don't have any other medical problems so not bad for an 80 year old

Not bad for any age!

Also @Bluetit1802 hospital records should be made available to you following a written request. But I can't find the link now, too early in the morning!

Thank you. Worry not, I'm still in my dressing gown, 2 hours after your post and it is still too early in the morning!

Well according to the http://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/gp...st-medical-records-from-2020/20038203.article they don't have the choice. Also @Bluetit1802 hospital records should be made available to you following a written request. But I can't find the link now, too early in the morning!

I’ll wait with eager anticipation

Lots of good advice from all of you, thanks. Very confused about carbs though. I was looking at a website showing carb content of various foods and a lot of it doesn't make sense to me. For example, white bread (which I always thought was the arch enemy) has fewer carbs than a seeded loaf that is full of protein-filled seeds! I also understand that Pilsner lagers have a relatively benign effect on blood sugar yet I'm told that alcohol is also an arch enemy, particularly beers and lagers. And finally, "carbs" measurements seem to be different to the actual amount of sugar/wheat etc in a particular type of food.

I am baffled by it all.

The science behind all of this is beyond me, but, someone here will know and then we will too!
