That is exactly why i think it is important to relate data to consumption. If there are irregularities coming up, then you know something needs looking at, and in the case of diabetes, the sooner the better.

All the vagueness of 'its all ok'. Passed over by a receptionist sometimes, isn't the standard we are worthy of .
The figures represent so much of how well we are coping.
And also early warning too easy missed by those not Invested in US, as much as we are of potential drops or rises that can or should be addressed.
As with most things, I guess the e-consult system is only as good as the people who use it - that's both the patient and the medical professionals. Our surgery has e-consult but I haven't found it to be very useful.
That must have been a really nice surprise that they pay for your club membership. Commiserations for having to do the Company admin. That's what I am doing this afternoon. I really hate doing the Company admin.Thank you… it was just a gut kick yesterday to see the live and not be on the team for the end of the season.
Tomorrow I need to get my backside in gear and do company admin and I kept back enough to pay myself for November and December. Plus I have this part time gig at the golf club as a Marshall which is only 4 days a week but I didn’t realise that they pay my club membership. I was just doing it to pay it so I could keep playing as 5 hours away from computers and TV has been great for my mental health in some ways. The less we say about the frustrations you go through in a round of golf is a whole other thing!

The sparrows are squabbling a lot at the feeders at the moment. Some quite intense fights!
Time for a cuppa!
Have a good day, as best you can.

Thank you @Granny_grump_Like the sketchK
Thank you @gennepher - it’s a bit of a cliff hanger.You just reminded me @dunelm
It's that time of the week that I need to stick the notice on the fridge door about putting bins out for tomorrow...
Thank you!
Your brilliant art bit - it is becoming a stairway on the side of a cliff face...a bit scary....
Nice that the bills have been OK. The rest is the picking up and starting again - it can really wear you down, but you can always have a conversation with the inner protagonists. I practice meditation and sometimes, when I remember, a bit of mindful eating (you can look it up - it’s a hoot but it does calm the mind). Having spent over 30 years in the military, my body has some very uncooperative parts, that lump of fat inside my head being the biggest culprit although thankfully there are no pain receptors like the other malingerers. I work on what I was trained for - no man left behind - so no body part left behind - there are sometimes many conversations but we get there in the end. All the very best. The worst of all the demons are the ones inside of us.I have been genuinely surprised that the bills have been … ok. Obvs not much gas (apart from hob) used in the summer and didn’t have the choice re: Smart Meter - Npower sold to eon.next and they converted it but Covid hit before I got the home metre.
One lodger is/was a mature student but worked at home a lot and so I do wonder if two of us at home will affect the leccy.
Re: shifts - I have been assured that I have not gone the way of one of the freelancers who started with me (I started as staff on a short term contract and joined the freelance pool when I finished). He refused to work weekends and only wanted to work certain days whereas I got in to live shifts and had the Olympics, Paralympics, Winter Olympics and Commonwealth Games but things just stopped after the US Open. I am actively trying to also chase for World Service shifts and I need to sort out my portfolio and get it up to date but sometimes when I start feeling that I have failed at this, it is REALLY hard to get the motivation.
I have to spend the day at my cousin’s with her Covid denying hubby - he is keen to help me get the Amazon side of my own sports website back up and running - but again sometimes the motivation has been low because basically all the resources and time I poured into developing it was completely obliterated in the pandemic as I used up all my reserves and plundered my life savings just to survive.
I will never be able to recoup that investment and the only saving grace is that I didn’t get any additional loans and used my own savings. But still … anyway … I need him to wipe down an old laptop I used for trading to sell to my other lodger, and my cousins take me in at Christmas so that I don’t have to spend it on my own so … will just bite my lip if he tries to convince me that Covid never happened.
If I ever get offered such an exotic procedure - I will certainly be taking the drugged up route.I had a gastroscopy, I thought I would be brave.
Never again its a nightmare of continuous gag reactions. Next time I shall be drugged first.

Oh she does appreciate all my attention to details and of course, I always accept parcels for her from the hard pressed delivery drivers with no mention of reward and try not to look frightened when riding shotgun in her car.A cracking little film...btw
And a food desert, what a vivid but awful description.
And supervising.....
More stressful then it looks
Hope Mrs D appreciates the sacrifices you selflessly make on her behalf....

An interesting post. I used to eat 3 meals a day but with diabetes went to two and sometimes had a go at one. No more. I have stopped playing to the fiddle of my posterior vagal trunk (hungry nerve) and now only eat when I am hungry and all that stuff when growing up where you finish your plate - no - I first give myself a test - drink a glass of water and wait - am I still hungry? Sometimes and sometimes not. And on it goes. I can of course go beyond 3 meals a day - sometimes. A quick check of blood sugars will inform you if you can eat naughty things or not!@Stephen Bond definitely looks like mine is a case of DP. My before lunch and dinner bgls are usually in the 5-7 range. It’s the overnights i find difficult to keep in check.
I wasn’t intentionally fasting - but did skip dinner that night due to a large lunch.
our GP surgery uses something called EMIS Patient Access - so far, so goodFbg 7.2...a reduction of sorts
Anyone have a surgery using the PATCH APP.
Our had e-consult.
Worked rather well
So decided to try PATCH instead
To my layman's eye a very amateur attempt.
Software clearly not the finished article
Yesterday tried it for a fit note request
Usually get reply same afternoon.
(See e-consult..it worked )
No response so tried again, this time request went through...helpfully asked for feedback
Which I left for them
Looking at the REQUEST format
I hope the doctors can understand it
Email comes out as
EM
ail
And no was just
N

small items but ticked off & tickled me at the same time ...
Brililant to see you here and not taking the Sir Gavin route. You'll like it here and the natives will take to you.Good afternoon, I am yet another refugee, forced onto a small boat from the fbg with some chat thread, and not allowed to return as I had the temerity to object to my posts being deleted.
Anyway, glad to have found a new home, my reading was 5.2 earlier this morning.

Good evening from here @ianpspursGood morning from a currently dry, bright and mild but very "particular" sub-region of the Exotic East. We have a food delivery later so this must be a food Oasis. Champagne super nova was ok the rest was execrable. Paxlovid rebound is mostly an issue of ongoing rescheduling but thanks for the good wishes @jjraak @dunelm and anyone I have missed. @gennepher those episodes of the wildlife meets patiently and lovingly domesticated cat soap opera are heartwarming and beginning to draw one in - just a little. Thanks for the riot of autumnal colour. @dunelm the latest artwork is developing nicely - thanks. Hopefully Mrs Miggins has a sack barrow for the coal dash final. @RFSMarch it will be sad if your visit is fleeting but it was wonderful to hear from you. Good news on the golf club membership being part of the package. Oddly enough our smart meter developed memory loss for electricity over several months - despite JKP frequently contacting them. @lindisfel have a good shopping trip. Hugs to all over the stories of flexible friends investigating. Have the best day you can.
