Good morning All
@Gwynn I hope your day improves.
A 7.1 for me today, which isn’t too bad considering yesterday. I let sugar levels rise as I knew I was doing a pool swim in the evening and as it’s a new regimen of insulin I played it (very ) safe with extra carbs.
Friday 8th October.
08:03. BG 6.7
08:04. Weight. 94.6 Kg
08:30. Insulin. 2 units. NovoRapid
08:45. Breakfast. 40g Porridge Oats Banana Slice Wholemeal Toast coffee Pint cordial
(61 carbs. 362 cal)
13:10. BG 9.8
13:15. Insulin 2 units NovoRapid
13:30. Lunch. 2slices toast. Slice cheese.
1/4 can peaches Banana in 100g Natural
Yoghurt Coffee Pint Cordial.
(64 carbs 756 cal)
17:45. BG. 11.7
17:55. Insulin. 2 units. NovoRapid
18:10. Dinner. Holland’s meat and potato pie. …………………..150g Mash potatoes. 100g ……………………peas. Cup Gravy. 2 digestive biscuits in 100g Natural yoghurt. Cup coffee. Pint water.

23:39. Insulin 6 units Lantus

Total carbs for Day. 253

The dietitian was also asking if I could use a UK database for carb counting rather than an American one as it’s more accurate.
I have the book Carbs &Cals but could do with an App. Does anyone know one that is easy to use and works well.
Sorry for the lengthy post.
