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.

09:39 BS 12.4. 8 units Novorapid.
10:20 Breakfast:- 2 poached eggs, 2 slices veg roll hulls, 100g baked beans & bottled water!

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!

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!
 
@Lanny . I hope you feel loads better tomorrow.
Apologies if you’ve already done this. Perhaps test you BG during the night say around 2/3am, that may give you an idea if you’re dropping low during the night .
