19/05/18
06:12 (BS 6.4) 6 units Novorapid. Breakfast:- 2 slices toast kingsmill no crusts 50/50, 10g pure butter dromona, 2 poached eggs, 1 cup twinings honey camomile, 1 cup twinings everyday & 80ml longlife almond milk.
Was VERY strict with the butter! The amount had been creeping up! My excuse: hot toast soaks it up! Have to wait until it cools down a bit before spreading so, I can spread the allotted amount & still have it melt into the toast! Don’t like COLD buttered toast unless I’m having jam on top! Oops! I haven’t had THAT in ages & it’s in my mind now!
07:56 (BS 8.9)
Watched the Royal Wedding! A very different, modern & American service! I enjoyed it! The bride was very minimally elegant & thought she could have done with a necklace with that neckline!
11:00 (BS 7.2) 4 units Novorapid 29 units Levemir & all other meds. Lunch:- 6 steamed scallops on the half shell with a sprinkle of garlic salt each, 1 beef grill birds eye, 1 bag steam veg birds eye sunshine mix & 150ml pressed peach juice. The juice tasted very concentrated & I not sure how it will affect my BS later? Tesco didn’t have the pear juice, this time, & got the peach version of the same brand: granini!
13:12 (BS 11.3) a bit high & suspect it’s the juice! Will see how much it’ll come down, it should do being sugar in liquid form will peak & drop quickly!
15:31 (BS 6.7) I was right but, I didn’t expect such a big drop! 4 units Novorapid. Dinner:- 1 serving chicken casserole, 1 salted caramel chocolate cup asda es & bottled water.
Fell asleep before the 2 hour after eating mark! Was already yawning BEFORE I had dinner & the food sent me off to dreamland!
21:20 (BS 7.1) woke up.
A pretty lazy day today but, still a bit tired the whole day: hangover from yesterday? I managed to mysteriously cut my right middle finger about 0.5 inch across between the two knuckles & didn’t feel it, at the time, so, don’t know how or when I did it!
Felt the sting when washing my hands for the after breakfast reading! I take the waking reading in bed & use tissue to wipe away the first drop before squeezing a second drop of blood to test. Learnt that technique from a video posted on one of the meter companies website, GlucoRx, I think? A handy tip if you can’t wash your hands, out & about!
It takes a while for see & feel fine cuts so, it was probably yesterday I cut it!
Odd that it’s the right hand as my neuropathy affects me differently in my hands. My left has less feeling so, I tend to cut myself without feeling it on that hand & fingers. My right has increased sensitivity especially to heat so, can burn myself easily on those fingers.
I try to protect myself as best I can by keeping chopping to a minimum by using blenders & buying frozen ready diced onions etc. & have a pair of leather gloves by the microwave to put on for taking out hot food: pair of silicone oven gloves by the cooker oven of course!

Soaked a cotton bud with a drop of tea tree oil & applied it inside my ear! Clipped the ragged edge of skin on my cut finger as it kept catching on things & applied some sudocrem! Slept until just after midnight! Finger has started to heal but, I definitely have an ear infection as I felt my right ear throbbing in pain through my sleep!
