I don't think I could manage a bowl without a spike, unless of course I filled the bowl with double cream.:D

The clusters or the porridge? xx
 
17/04/18 (1599.61cals) average for today & yesterday is 1262.315cals.
00:24 woke (BS 8.2) 8 units Novorapid sleep/wake. maybe not SO good a guess about the carbs & cals at lunch yesterday? The soup I got from the carbs & cals book. The sandwich I got from a similar one from tesco but, that’s on wholemeal, full not 50/50, & the one I ate; white bread! I guess that’s why I cautiously added 1 extra unit! I looked up the info for the differences in bread:-
2 slices kingsmill white 190cals 36.4g carbs
2 slices kingsmill wholemeal 186cals 30.8g carbs

01:02 Dinner (BS 7.3) wasn’t really hungry yet & lost track of time a bit. Decided to test just before eating to see what effect there is injecting before meals? 389.1cals 39.7g carbs. Not sure about adding extra for the sandwich & will see what happens?
0.5 chicken bacon sandwich 222cals 19g carbs
3 veg fingers baked birds eye 157.5cals 19.5g carbs
1 cup tea twinings everyday 0cals 0g carbs
40ml longlife almond milk 9.6cals 1.2g carbs
(Put more milk in without honey & that tasted MUCH better! Longlife also has a wee bit more sugar than fresh but, all in all much less than honey!)

02:24 (BS 12.6) yikes! The info on the sandwich is DEFINITELY WRONG! Added correction 2 extra units & see what happens?

03:24 (BS 11.3)

06:00 Breakfast (BS 6.9) 317.22cals 2.83g carbs 8 units Novorapid.
2 poached eggs 158cals 0g carbs
100g smoked salmon tesco 159.22cals 2.83g carbs
250ml bottled water (BS 7.3)

09:01 (BS 6.2) starting to feel hungry!

10:40 Early Lunch (BS 6.2) 490.29cals 63.75g carbs 6 units Novorapid.
1 slice veg roll hulls 137cals 6.5g carbs
1 sausage baked cookstown 78.03cals 9.2g carbs
100g baked beans heinz 79cals 12.8g carbs
3 veg fingers baked birds eye 157.5cals 19.5g carbs
15g brussels pate tesco 38.76cals 0.75g carbs
150ml cranberry juice ocean spray 63cals 15g carbs
11:15 31 units Levemir & all other meds.

BS held steady between breakfast & lunch today. Why does it rise sometimes?

12:40 (BS 10.3) slept soon afterwards, around 13:00?

18:00 (BS 5.2) woke with a slight headache. Put dinner into oven & starting to feel shaky & internally freezing all over! Poured cranberry juice. 18:12 (BS 5.2) Turned the dyson fan heater on at the fastest speed & the highest temperature. Tried the juice but, only managed one sip: disgustingly sweet! 18:25 (BS 5.7) Oh!!! Relief! Starting to feel better! Dinner’s ready & ate still feeling cold but, not quite as freezing!

18:40 Dinner 403cals 49.4g carbs 4 units Novorapid.
150g Sauté potatoes asda 240cals 40.5g carbs
1 chicken chargrill birds eye 142cals 3.9g carbs
50ml cranberry juice ocean spray 21cals 5g carbs
Juice still tasted sweeter than usual but, not disgustingly so like earlier!

Felt warm enough to switch off heater 19:35. It’s not the first time that things have tasted sweeter when I’m low. During both my cataract ops I was shaking & surgeon had to check my blood sugars, not hypo, & eating tea with plain toast afterwards when shaking was even worse: toast was VERY sweet, couldn’t manage the tea with just milk as that was TOO sweet!

21:13 (BS 9.2)

Diabetes is keeping me on my toes today! Will have to call DSN tomorrow & see if I need to lower doses again!

Almost finished my supply of test strips, one last cap of 25; mostly caps of 50 but, sometimes 2x25 in the box, & it’s less than 2 weeks since the last order! Hope there isn’t a problem, like earlier, & put on the prescrition form “having hypos & lowering doses again!” Thanks to Northerner, I now know to ring the GP practice & explain my case on the phone if neccesary!

I’ve learnt more about diabetes, food & their effects on me from these forums in just over a month than in the last 17 years! Thank you to everyone!

The clusters. I manage porridge OK as long as I stick to 30g max & add a blob of double cream with some mixed nuts & seeds.🙂

The clusters are only 22g (if I remember correctly) per 45g serving, just checked and they are 22.05g, 11.25g fat as well so may not treat you as badly as you think 🙂 xx
