Spoke to DSN & I had too much for the sushi this week: same extra dose I had for last week was too much this week! Not really hypo but, BS was dropping down! Reduce lunch dose from 6 to 4 until I see her & dietician next week.

Switched off heater about 16:30 so, not as long to recover as I didn’t go so low this time. Fake hypo it may have been but, it tired me out! Just when I got my normal pattern back & stayed awake after lunch: slept early this morning 03:00 to 06:16. Slept around 17:00?

23:56 woke (BS 7.1) not hungry yet.

Will post dinner, when I have it in tomorrow’s post.
I know, in the long term, less insulin is better but, short term; keeping me on my toes!
Lowered lunchtime dose starts tomorrow!

D didn’t eat.
S. 2 slices wholemeal toast and coffee.
 
Hey, Vince, have you tried curried eggs? A hard boiled egg marinated, in its shell, with a spicy curry marinate. Or the famous, or infamous, 100 year old eggs: expensive dish served in top class restaurants? Based on the REAL marinated for 100 year eggs ancient emperors ate: not REALLY 100 years these days! There are various other marinates too, like sweet & sour, or BBQ!

Hi Lanny, had the curried variety and liked them, The 100 year old ones I tried a few years ago in BJ and was violently ill for 3 days. No idea why, I blamed maybe bad eggs and unclean marinades so I have avoided them ever since. I also avoid the ones where the egg white has truned into a green glass like appearance lol.
Wary of eggs here and for home I only buy and eat the free range ones that come from a farm in Anhui owned by the store owner. The yolks are a wonderful deep yellow and firm and they taste terrific, more expensive than normal eggs but well worth it. I have found the eggs generally on sale here to be tasteless and the yolks a very pale yellow and very runny.
3 dishes I baulk at, 100 year old eggs, sea slugs which are an expensive delicacy and chicken feet which my friends here seem to relish.
I will also not eat ducks head, again relished by my friends, and the blood soup.
😱
One oher thing I do find abhorent is the live turtles they sell in supermarkets, restaurants and on the streets.
I just will not consider that and it upsets me to see it.
 
Ooh, Vince! I didn’t think turtles, & turtle soup, was done anymore? :(

I don’t about the eggs in Shanhai but, the same is true in Hong Kong with eggs & poultry: battery farms because of the lack of space! As for dairy & beef; very expensive, not great tasting & there’s only one dairy, Kowloon Diary, that supplys fresh produce!

Tried less honey! Was ok to start with but, got progressively sweeter as I ate. So, will try none at all next time! But, still 3 servings left! The soup was handy yesterday! Didn’t have any insulin for it, raised my BS a little, to make me feel better (didn’t test at the time so, don’t know by how much) & sustained my BS while I slept.

Tasted EVEN sweeter. Topped up the remainder of the soup to 1600ml to dilute it.

Juice tasted disgustingly sweet again & the sweet acid hurt the back of my throat but, used a straw to force it down me while I waited 3 minutes for the chips! Managed to avoid freezing this time but, the headache & dizziness felt worse: hang over!

Just managed to reach DSN before she was finished for the day. Further reductions in doses. Levemir 29 units, Novorapid breakfast 6, lunch 3 & dinner 4 units!

May i ask why you don't just use fresh chicken? Seems pointless adding the carbs of the grills when you could just use fresh 100% chicken rather than something that's only 75% chicken, is there any real NEED to add honey? x

I must admit, that puzzles me too. I’ve never used honey when I’ve made chicken and sweetcorn soup.
