If you didn’t read the waking thread, I woke up to a pounding headache & high BS. I think I went low in the night & my liver dumped glucose till I woke up! Will need to lower dinner dose of Novorapid.
Which veg roll do I prefer? Local butchers with a lot more fat, released during baking in the oven, or hulls from supermarket deliveries that are very salty! I prefer the butchers but have to make the 7000 steps, round trip, for as he doesn’t deliver! The hulls is 137cals/slice while the butchers is 98cals/slice, less salty with a sweeter flavour! I’ll just have to stock up on it when I’m in the town & freeze!
12:01 BS 9.1. 29 units Levemir & all other meds.
13:46 BS 9.9. 4 units Novorapid Lunch:- 1 78% meat beef burger hulls, 3 potato waffles, 100g baked beans & bottle water. I cooked 2 burgers but, couldn’t eat the 2nd. so, back in ghe fridge it went! The 3 potato waffles were a bit excessive 😳 but, I WANTED it:comfort food! 17:06 BS 9.5.
REALLY tired & still have a very slight headache! Can’t stay awake for much longer! If I wake later tonight around midnight & eat dinner, that’ll be in tomorrow’s post!
I bid you all a VERY early goodnight! I’ve had the headache & felt tired the whole day! I’m a REALLY slow typer & it took me this long to type this entry in notes, on iPad, before pasting it on here sraight after testing: over 40 minutes!
Today
Tea
B: out - 1 sausage, 1 bacon, 2 eggs, black pudding, beans, tinned tomato, 1 granary toast & tea

Coffee
BBQ with the family - salad, coleslaw, beetroot salad, burger in brioche bun, sausage, 2 x G&T, 2 x red wine
21:49 BS 8.1. Couldn’t sleep, my headache got worse & getting hungry! So, got up, tested & ate. Dinner:- 3 units Novorapid 1 serving of my veg soup & the other beef burger!
Haven’t checked my blood pressure in a while, I take meds for high blood pressure, it’s a little high but, still normal, 137/83, & heart rate is about 5/6 beats higher than usual, 80 to my normal 74.
I had so many constant headaches in the months before the high blood pressure was picked up & I was put on meds that I hardly noticed them because I got used to them! Will try & see the GP on Monday to see if I need adjusting my blood pressure meds! I’ve been put on a 24hr monitor & cuff before to check the pressure throughout the day before adjusting meds!
With some food in me now, my headache is receding & I can hopefully sleep now!
