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!

Feeling more together now, with coffee? :D
 
26/06/18 A very odd day today in terms of BS which I’ll put down to experience! 🙄
01:25 woke up after turning in early yesterday evening after dinner! Couldn’t get back to sleep & was getting hungry so:-

03:35 BS 6.3. 5 units Novorapid Breakfast:- 1 serving beef casserole & bottled water. 05:04 BS 7.4.

In the past when getting up from sleeping to eat at this time, 02:00 to 04:00, my BS drops further than expected & I remember 2 hypos that caught me completely by surprise around the 2 hour after mark! So, dithered with the choice of 4 units, dinner dose, or 6 units, breakfast dose! Split the difference & went for 5 units.

I thought ah ha! 6 would have been too much! But, not so simple!

06:01 BS 8.2. 07:42 BS 9.8. Definitely the usual morning rise kicking in! 4 units of Novorapid & half an oatcake to stop further rise. BUT, didn’t work!

10:32 BS 11.2. OK, higher than I’d like but, insulin is still active & see?

11:32 BS 11.2. Getting worried but, about lunchtime & no active insulin left. 6 units Novorapid, +2, 29 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- 100g smoked salmon tesco (20g difference between tesco & asda), 2 poached eggs, 2 cups twinings everyday & 50ml of longlife semi skimmed milk (last of the carton & can go back to almond milk, which I miss). 13:24 BS 11.2. Still a little high but, expecting it to drop; didn’t happen! 14:08 BS 11.2. Crikey! Washed hands properly & 14.10 BS 10.8 not much better, the same really with meter tolerances.

Didn’t have time to worry about it as I had to leave to make my appointment for diabetic eye screening at my health centre & I definitely felt fine & in no immediate danger of going hypo!

Walked 4000 steps for app. No need for drops, I never do, & was in & out fast! Sweated buckets in the humidity & took taxi back!

15:04 BS 8.8. Ahh! Relief; coming down at last! Posted & caught up here & conked out for a few hours, don’t know when!

19:46 BS 6.2. Woke up. Stayed in bed, posted some more & caught up here again. Started to get hungry.

20:44 BS 6.3. 4 units Novorapid Dinner: 1 serving beef casserole, 1 box microchips mccains & 150ml pressed pear juice. Last serving left: why; 2 servings for my sister & I after cooking; 1 serving given to my BIL this morning when he picked her up; 1 serving given to my brother who was to come yesterday but, came this morning because of watching the world cup; 1 in the early hours & now for dinner & it’s all gone!

22:57 BS 10.8. Just before bath before bed!
23:39 BS 8.7. Just out of the bath! A bath always temp. lowers my BS.

Going to bed soon!

Ohhh, you silly numpty, Lanny! Just realised that I had mainly protein & fat for lunch & as I just newly learnt, with the helpful posts on my thread “When is an after meal reading too low?” The slower release of protein & fat balances out the tail end of active insulin so, there’s not much of a drop after 2 hours, if any at all! I could have saved my fingers a bit there at lunchtime! 🙄 Newly acquired knowledge not quite sunk in yet! Umm, is there a numpty emoji? :D

My sister’s stay & talking about the sister that’s passed has made a big difference & I fully engage in my greeting to you all, a goodnight & wish you all a good next morning too! 🙂 I might change my signature back because it’s becoming less of a fake smile now! 🙂

Edited to add:- Crumbs, a case of @Vince_UK 's signature flooding in! Corrected a lot of typos! So, less head scratching for those trying to read my post the next day! :D
