Morning all. A 5.4 for me this morning.
Yesterday turned out to be fairly eventful for entirely different reasons than I thought! We set off all well and good, stopped for a loo break at Lancaster services which is about 40 mins from my parents. Running a little late as the M6 was a bloomin' nightmare with roadworks and an accident.
Just before we set off again I took a finger prick test, all fine. However, when looking in my 'bag of magic stuff' I realised I had forgotten my insulin
😱. I'd put it with some other bits and bobs I was taking up for people, and had picked everything up but it! Panic spread over my OH face when I told him
🙄, but I said no time to go back for it, I'll just have to go as low carb as I can and forgo any thought of a starter and/or dessert
.
So, that is what I did and I had baked cod in a bouillabaisse sauce, green beans and peas. They gave me extra veg in lieu of the saffron potatoes. I did also have a small spoonful of OH vanilla panacotta with strawberries for pud. VERY pleased to report the following finger prick readings - pre meal 6.2, 1 hour 45 mins post meal 8.6, and 2.5 hours post meal 5.4.

This is from after we got home. BTW my libre is reading anywhere between 0.7 and 1.7 lower than finger prick at the moment.
I call that a result! Although I was really hungry when we got home having only eaten that all day
. I have never forgotten to take my insulin out before and I certainly won't be again even if it means I need a flourescent sticker on my forehead!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, my hat goes off to all those D who manage with diet and exercise. I couldn't do it everyday and thank god I have the added (albeit necessary) assistance of insulin.
