I'm assuming you mean tattie waffles? lol xx

No, not waffles. They were cubes, like dice. I'm sure they have a proper name.

23/06/18
05:27 BS 9.4. 4 units Novorapid & half an oatcake to bring down it down a bit before eating breakfast later! It seems that the threshold for bedtime BS that doesn’t need a snack is 5.8: lower than that & my BS is higher in the morning! So, will snack next time I go lower than that limit! But, of course it’s only a theory until I try it out!
07:36 BS 6.3. 08:23 BS 6.1. Slight drop & hungry so, cooked breakfast.

09:00 Breakfast:- 120g smoked salmon asda, 2 poached eggs, 2 slices toast with butter & bottled water. 11:00 BS 7.7. 6 units Novorapid, usual dose, straight after eating with about 20mins to the 4 hour mark of active insulin!

13:30 BS 8.1. 2 units Novorapid 29 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- 1 serving my veg soup & 2 slices bread & butter. Went too low, 2 days ago eating the same thing so halved the dose. 15:30 BS 7.3. 🙂 Spot on!

17:30 BS 6.2. 4 units Novorapid Dinner:- 2 lamb grills birds eye, 2 bags steam veg (1 tesco greens & corn & 1 birds eye sunshine mix), 10g pure butter dromona on the veg & 300ml (2x150ml cans) sprite. 19:30 BS 7.7.

I posted about stocking up little cans of coke, sprite & 1 orange fanta in the thread “Be Aware of Coke Label”. My BS readings ate now in target ranges & I’m preparing for any future hypos that may happen with further tighter control. Saw that my local asda is offering 5 little 150ml cans for £1. The cans look exactly the same as normal cans but, the sprite & fanta have written on the front “now with less sugar & with natural sweeteners”, at the bottom. I got 7 of coke, 2 of sprite & 1 orange fanta. The 2 cans of sprite were 9.9g carbs: 3.3g carbs/100ml. The fanta is a little more, don’t remember the figure, & only the coke is still full sugar at 16g carbs. Only the coke is suitable for hypos & I’ll drink the fanta too, with a meal, some time!
It’s the sugar tax & it might only be a matter of time before the coke recipe is changed too! Grr! 😡

My brother rang me just before my after dinner test to tell me that my sister passed away last night!

My family are connected via facebook & whatsapp but, I left both last year! Nobody called me until he remembered that I’m not connected by social media anymore!

I had a series of dreams about my childhood & my siblings *last night! My sister was there & they were silly impossible things that never happened! I had similar dreams after mum passed: doing things she never did in life!

My youngest brother said, about dreams of mum, that they might have been things I’d wished she HAD done from the things she said!

Going to bed soon but, might not sleep! My brother & sister, the 2 I flew with, are coming round tomorrow afternoon for discussion about the cremation! My sister has asked for no flowers!

Goodnight all! Albeit with no enthusiasm! Not because I don’t want you to have one but, because I don’t feel good!

But, sometimes it makes a difference to say things when not feeling it & pretend I do until I DO feel it! A Mona Lisa straight glimmer of a smile! I’ve heard some jokes about her having PMS & not feeling like smiling when da Vinci asked her to for the portrait! It’s apposite it now!

I’ll try again! Goodnight everybody! 🙂

Edited to add *last night!

Very sorry to hear your news, always sad even when expected.

Thanks, @Midnightrider

24/06/18 didn’t sleep last night & cleaned the kitchen overnight! Kept an eye on BS while I cleaned!
02:03 BS 9.4. 04:28 BS 10.4. Finished cleaning.

06:40 BS 7.9. In bed but, can’t sleep.

08:35 BS 4.2. Felt hypo, very shaky & clumsy while cooking breakfast so, sipped juice & munched 12 mars bars bites! 😳 Didn’t mean to eat that many but, found it hard to stop!

Breakfast:- 6 units Novorapid 120g smoked salmon asda, 2 poached eggs, 2 slices toast with seriously strong vintage cheese & 2 cups buttermint tea with 40ml longlife semi skimmed milk (made a mistake the other day on my post: used this & NOT almond milk) & 1tsp honey rowse.

Managed to doze off eventually listening to music!

13:28 BS 12.9. Woke just before my meds alarm. 6 units Novorapid 29 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- 1 serving my veg soup. Wasn’t sure whether to use 4 or 6 units as I’m only having soup & sleep/wake! Will see what happens? 15:43 BS 9.9. Not bad, I’ll take that! 🙂

My sister & BIL cooked rice with streaky bacon with eggplant! I don’t like eggplant. After dinner my BIL left for home but, my sister is staying the night. It’s good not to be alone tonight! 🙂

My, very often, neglected house got a very good cleaning today! I cleaned the kitchen overnight & my sister mopped the bathroom & shower room floors while I was eating soup & hers was going cold! I told her to leave it but, she couldn’t bear! I’m not at all house proud! She plans on hoovering tomorrow! 🙄

Just about to take my bath & go to bed!

Goodnight everybody! 🙂

25/06/18
03:36 BS 6.2. Woke up & stayed in bed & couldn’t get back to sleep!

05:13 BS 6.4. A slight rise despite not getting up from the bed! 6 units Novorapid Breakfast:- 2 lamb grills birds eye, 1 bag steam veg birds eye sunshine mix & 2 cups twinings everyday with 40ml longlife semi skimmed milk & 0.5tsp honey with the last cup due to it being very strong! 07:53 BS 10.3. A liitle high. Cooked breakfast for 2 & had 4 cups of tea with 3 teabags in the pot & still got very strong at the end! No eggs or much left as tesco will deliver after 10:00!

Started slow cooking beef casserole for dinner just before testing & cooking lunch.

11:30 BS 9.3. 6 units Novorapid 29 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- big lunch as I cooked too much for 2 people & we ate it all anyway. 1 bag steam veg rice birds eye & 150ml pressed pear juice granini. Sharing platter of which I ate my fair share of:- 1 pack steam prawn goyza itsu, spicy vinegar soy dip, 1 pack frozen prawn toast tesco, 1 pack spicy prawns tesco. 13:55 BS 8.9.

Tasting casserole as it cooked: I always taste things while cooking so, knew BS would be affected before dinner & noted that down!

15:19 BS 9.3. Had just checked casserole & tasted it! It was ready a little sooner than I expected as I hadn’t done beef before now! It doesn’t take as long as lamb! A little bit early to eat, because of active insulin, but not by much! 4 units Novorapid Dinner:- 1 serving beef casserole & bottled water. I ate the casserole by itself & my sister had boiled potatoes with hers. 17:56 BS 7.9.

My sister is staying another night & will leave tomorrow. Tired this evening as I didn’t sleep Sat. night & woke early this morning then, couldn’t get back to sleep!

Going to bed soon!

Goodnight everybody with full enthusiasm! 🙂 real; not Mona Lisa!

Ahh! Have you decided to follow @Ljc 's numerous example's & try peanut butter on toast, @Vince_UK ?

Now, I haven't tried that combo, myself but, peanut butter has certainly been very useful at bedtime! Although the jar is still on my bedside table, I haven't had any need of it in a while!
