Morning all. 7.7 and definitely no unicorn.
Had a rollercoaster day yesterday and I’m almost 100% certain it’s my digestive system playing up again. Two hours after lunch, the usual, a one slice of bread sandwich and a packet of Sunbites, I felt unwell, headache, sweaty, weak and nauseous.I took a glance at my Libre, 4.2, checked against meter, 4.3. I checked my pen incase I’d made a mistake with my bolus. No I hadn’t. Sat down with a glass of water and the alarm went off, 3.8. Then 3.6 so had 15 grms of Kendal Mint Cake which wasn’t easy as I felt so sick. Had two paracetamol to ease my stinking headache, BGs stayed the same but I held my nerve. An hour later 11.4! Headache had gone but I felt so tired. Eventually felt better but BGs were still 10.4 at 6pm before tea. Added a one unit correction to my bolus and ate my tea. Half an hour later, headache, very, very bloated, nauseous. BGs down in the fours. Didn’t eat anything but just kept an eye on it. Eventually got into the fives and as my bloating went down my BGs went up! Went to bed at 10 as I was exhausted and was 8.4. Been steady through the night though. Today I’m going to change my ratios and look at my food intake again, I’m struggling a bit at knowing what to eat, I’ve mostly eaten low residue foods after my episode last week, but it’s not easy and it’s boring. Perhaps it’s time to pick up that phone at 8am and sit for half an hour listening to lift music only to be told the doctor will call me back a fortnight on Monday between 8am and 5pm! I’m the meantime I’ll plod on, as I do. Today that means a trip to Aldi as it’s now the school holidays and we have three youngest coming tomorrow morning until teatime, and the two big ones coming later ( after grandson finishes work) and staying over. My WiFi is already hiding in the corner and my debit card is shaking in its boots!
Have a grand day all.
