Today was a little different. Had to take Alan to hospital to have lumbar facet injections for a back condition that he's had for a few years so today's food;
Tea
2 buttered Ryvita wholegrain crackerbreads so I could take tablets.
Had to get Alan to the hospital for 8am, got him settled in then went for breakfast in the local Tesco and had a cheese & ham omelette with a flat mushroom and 1 slice grainy bread toasted.
Got back to the hospital and he was still waiting to go to theatre. When he was taken down I went and had a cappuccino in the canteen.
When we eventually left the hospital Alan was starving so we went to the local chippy and I had a small cod & chips (didn't eat all the chips) and I've just had a few strawberries with some cream .

So been a bit naughty today 🙄 but Alan is ok, just in a bit of discomfort where he had the injections so he's just gone to bed.

08:09 BS 6.3. 6 units Novorapid Breakfast:- 1 bag steam veg rice birds eye, 1 pack spicy prawns tesco & 150ml pressed pear juice granini. 10:30 BS 10.6.

Walked 3500 steps into town for some errands & ate Lunch afterwards.

12:34 BS 8.6. 4 units Novorapid 29 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- ate out, Irish stew & mint tea.

Got taxi back, felt tired & slept!

18:21 BS 5.0. Woke up! 4 units Novorapid Dinner:- 1kg veg soup mckees & 2 slices bread & butter (kingsmill no crusts 50/50 & 10g pure butter dromona). 20:28 BS 7.2. Just after bath & before bed! I think that borderline figures just after a bath doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll continue dropping as the BS lowering effect, of the bath, is only temporary!

I had a pretty good day today! I was a little tired & a wee bit short of breath towards the end of my walk into town today but, I’d put off a few things while under the weather the last few days! Was grey & cool all day but, no rain!

I bid you all a goodnight & sweet dreams! 🙂
