02:46 BS 6.6 & VERY RELIEVED! Phew! emoji!
An extremely early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!
😉
Yesterday was an EVEN shorter day because I went to bed exhausted just after 14:00 just after lunch! Another low day of heading off a hypo just before lunch! I only had 30 units NR for breakfast & no problems, I thought, & Just about to start thinking of making sandwiches for lunch to surprised by 12:46 BS 4.7 but, with no active bolus! Still it’s some drop from 7.5 to 4.7 & I only had 30 units NR for breakfast!
😱 I starting making my 2 ham sandwiches but, felt the hypo racing heart & lightheaded so, opened a full 330ml can of coke & sipped that! Then, as soon as I’d slapped on the ham for one sandwich I ate it before making the 2nd one to eat! I’d only intended to have half the can of coke but, had it all & I dithered about the bolus & the delayed tresiba as I’d forgotten to take it at 11:00. I was finishing off Anthony Horowitz Forever and a Day with all the James Bond tense ending, took my pills but, forgot the tresiba!
😳 Just as well really because it gave me the chance to reduce it by another -2! What about the bolus? I had decided to go with 20 NR that was -4 lower than yesterday but, I’d had a full can of coke, not just half as a hypo treatment? I usually add +10 for coke & decided on 26 NR & had 84 tresiba: that’s my menstrual cycle dose now, I thought but, it’s not a cycle!
😱 What on earth is going on?
😱
More or less right after eating a great wall of exhaustion just hit me & I was REALLY fighting to stay awake to test as I was still worried about too much insulin? I finally threw in the towel about an hour later after being very relieved by 14:12 BS 12.1 & slept!
I thought I might wake up a bit high as I thought 12.1 at 1 hour after was very high from the 4.7 but, I woke in target range!
Just finished eating breakfast & I decided to go with 20 NR & see how that goes?
As to finally finishing off the last batch of 4 James Bond books I’ve discovered the exact time window of kindle returns is 14 days as I checked on 15/03/22 when I was about to start Forever and a Day when all the books I’d bought since 01/03/22 were returnable but, from 28/02/22 & earlier were not. So, I took my time to read it!
🙄 So, there you go you need never be stuck with either an audible or kindle book you don’t like: you have a full year to return audible books; a very short 14 days to return kindle books but, that’s PLENTY of time for me to read it IF I only buy when I intend to read it instead of leaving it in my library & forget about it!

As to the book itself:- It was a prequel to Casino Royale with the death of 007 & M deciding to fast track James Bond’s training as a double 0 by giving him his second assassination just 2 weeks after his first: thereby getting the required 2 assassinations to promote him as a double 0 agent; the death of 007 only left 1 active 0011 agent as 008 was still injured from his last assignment! James Bond got his promotion & was offered the 009 designation but, turned it down & decided to keep the 007 number in memory of the man he knew & had liked as a friend to continue flying the flag for both of them. His first assignment as a double 0 agent is to find out who killed the previous 007?
I really like Anthony Horowitz Trigger Mortis as it was every bit as fast paced as Ian Fleming but, Forever and a Day was a bit slow to start but, once it did start it was very good with a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming. I enjoyed it quite a bit: not quite as good as Trigger Mortis; but, being a prequel it’s already constrained by the known ending as all prequels are!
His next James Bond book is scheduled to be released on 26/05/22 With a Mind to Kill & I’ll try that one too?
Before making up my mind if I like Anthony Horrowitz James Bond?
I decided after reading two of Sophie Hannah Poirot books that I didn’t like them: the Agatha Christie estate hired & endorsed her to write more Poirot books as Matthew Pritchard thought her writing was ver clever; the mysteries are indeed very clever, the first two I read anyway, but, her Poirot just didn’t ring true, for me, & I’d rather stick to Agatha Christie’s Poirot!
