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!

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.

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! :D 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! :D

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!
