Pot luck stew Lin? May I ask what ingredients you use? Do you chuck in all & sundry that you find left over in your fridge?

00:10 (BS 10.9) Tired & want to sleep so, to cover any dips.
Bedtime Snack 82cals 5.325g carbs
1 oatcake nairns 36cals 4.35g carbs
1.5tsp no sugar peanut butter sun pat 46cals 0.975g carbs
Slept.

13/04/18
03:50 woke (BS 8.0)
04:15 Breakfast 389.33cals 33.414g carbs
2 servings chicken sweetcorn soup 389.33cals 33.414g carbs
04:30 7 units Novorapid forgot earlier.
06:30 (BS 8.3)

09:30 (BS 7.8) My 2 new free upgrade meters from Freestyle Abbott arrived in the post. So, tested the 3 meters from the same drop of blood within seconds of each other. Mini BS 7.8, Freedom lite BS 8.2 & InsuLinx BS 7.9. You know which one I wrote down! Everydayupsanddowns says they’re all the same reading within the tolerances of the meters.

10:00 Snack
2 slices toast kingsmill no crusts 50/50 94cals 17g carbs
1 cup tea twinings everyday 0cals 0g carbs
25ml almond milk 5.5cals 0.6g carbs
0.5tsp honey rowse 10.97cals 2.72g carbs

Still hungry so, went ahead & had an early lunch.

10:30 Lunch 587.53cals 71.02g carbs 7 units Novorapid 5 +2 for extra cals.
1 slice veg roll hulls 137cals 6.5g carbs
2 sausage baked cookstown 156.06cals 18.4g carbs
2 veg fingers baked birds eye 105cals 13g carbs
100g baked beans heinz 79cals 12.8g carbs

Felt VERY stuffed! Forced myself to eat the last sausage as I’d already injected for it! You know, it’s times like this that highlights the differences between prebolusing, only recently, & medicating straight after eating, postbolusing?, that I’ve done for 17 years!
I suppose with the earlier breakfasts, it had to happen sometime: hungry before lunch! I tried having a snack without insulin but, was still hungry after. So, ate very early lunch. Worked out all the cals & carbs of what I wanted to eat: suspected it would be more than usual, especially with the snack! Injected for it & cooked.
Trouble was, I was dictated by hunger & when it actually came down to eating: not that hungry anymore!

Surely this must have happened to you others that prebolus for meals! What do you do? Stuff it down, as I did, or treat the hypo, if any, later?

11:30 30 units Levemir & all other meds.

Slept around 13:00

23:21 woke (BS 7.9) Ah! BS held steady for all that time! Reassuring to know Levemir dose is right!

00:30 Dinner 369.175cals 41.45g carbs 7 units Novorapid sleeping & waking again.
4 slices toast kingsmill no crusts 50/50 188cals 34g carbs
20g pure butter dromona 145.6cals 0.14g carbs
2 cups tea twinings everyday 0cals 0 g carbs
50ml almond milk 11cals 1.2g carbs
7.5g 1tsp honey rowse 24.675cals 6.11g carbs

I crashed after eating an early lunch & had a LONG sleep! Felt so refreshed afterwards: needed it!
