27/06/18
05:51 BS 7.9. 6 units Novorapid Breakfast:- 75g smoked salmon tesco, 2 poached eggs, 2 slices buttered toast & 150ml of cranberry juice ocean spray. 08:05 BS 8.9. My sister only wanted 1 slice of smoked salmon with her eggs before she left the other day so, only 3 out of 4 slices left in the pack. I haven’t had cranberry juice in ages & it was tart to start with but, it’s a nice change to the pear juice I’ve been having.

Conked out shortly after breakfast! My back had been hurting intermittently since Sat. night & I needed more rest! I’ve learnt since my neuropathy diagnosis, March 2017, that a backache in my spine is a warning that I’m getting exhausted & if I don’t rest, the nerves in my legs will stop working & I won’t be able to move!

My sleep was interrupted by a phone call at 14:13 so, afterwards had 29 units Levemir & meds minus the metaformin as that’ll give me problems on an empty stomach, something else I’ve learnt!

21:30 BS 7.9. Woke up 6 units Novorapid, sleep/wake, metaformin Lunch:- 1 baked haddock fillet, 2 boxes 200g microchips mccains & 150ml cranberry juice ocean spray. 23:35 BS 10.3.

Slowed cooked chicken casserole before eating lunch but, only realised at 23:15 that silly numpty, that I am, turned on the slow cooker but, didn’t switch the plug in the socket on! Now that I think about it, there have been a fair few numpty moments lately! 🙄 Turned it on to high. Good thing it doesn’t take as long to tenderise chicken as it does for red meat!

28/06/18
01:36 BS 9.9. 4 units Novorapid Dinner:- 1 serving chicken casserole & bottled water. 02:44 BS 8.6.

Slept around 03:00, I think! Was already feeling tired after dinner so, tested a wee bit early!

06:19 BS 6.8 woke up.

I’ll post the rest of today later!

PS: speaking of numpty moments I wrote this out as usual on notes on iPad, copied ready to paste on here & forgot to do it after replying to posts on this thread at 07:14! I only realised I hadn’t posted now & have!

HOW NUMPTY is that? :D 🙄 :confused: 😱
 
Oohh! Just realised something! The meal labels are completely wrong considering the times I eat at! They should really be meal numbers: 1st. meal of the day etc. Just reading the BS numbers in the before & after meal slots in monitor diaries & filling them in doesn’t tell the whole story, in the first instance, & confusing for me, in the second instance, if I leave it for days like I’ve been doing lately! But, posting on here helps as I have a record of what reading goes in which slot when filling in the diary before my fortnightly phone-in to my DSN!
 
28/06/18
06:19 BS 6.8 woke up.

07:44 BS 8.5. Lost track of time posting etc. 6 units Novorapid Breakfast:- half an oatcake! Not hungry & to stop the rise! 10:11 BS 6.8.

11:12 BS 6.4. 6 units Novorapid, +2 for pies, 29 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- 1x150g steak & kidney pie frozen asda, 1x150g chicken & veg pie frozen asda, 100ml pressed peach juice granini watered down with 50ml bottled water. 13:03 BS 7.3.

Felt tired again after eating & just about lasted to test before getting some sleep! Tested a wee bit early but, had been struggling to stay awake. Then, once the pressure was off, after testing took me ages to drop off: goodness knows when! Despite my yawns getting bigger & bigger! A yawning my head off emoji!

22:40 BS 7.8. Woke up 6 units Novorapid, sleep/wake Dinner:- 1 serving chicken casserole, 1 box 100g microchips mccains & watered down pressed peach juice granini.

That’s a GREAT breakfast: smoked salmon & eggs! But, expensive for the salmon to have everyday! There was a time there when I did have it everyday because tesco had a sale of 100g packs for £1 each. I ordered 10 packs & froze them! It’s filling, not much impact on BS & tasty!
 
29/06/18
03:54 BS 5.7. Didn’t sleep! Never been this low before at this time, having slept or not, & don’t quite dare to prebolus so, cooked breakfast first! Also, wasn’t sure to go with the usual dose or lower it! Decided to go with usual & keep a close eye as I haven’t been asleep!

04:20 6 units Novorapid Breakfast:- 2 baked sausages cookstown, 2 poached eggs, 100g baked beans heinz & 150ml cranberry juice ocean spray, 05:56 BS 8.0. 06:28 BS 7.6. Ahh! It seems that I peak sooner than the 2 hour after mark as 1.5 hours after reading is higher!

11:48 BS 8.6. It’s happening consistently now, there’s a slight rise in BS between breakfast & lunch! 4 units Novorapid 29 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- 1 baked salmon fillet 130g tesco, 1 bag steam veg tesco greens & corn, 5 g pure butter dromona & bottled water.

Slept soon after: already yawning before I’d finished cooking & knew once the food hits me; I’ll crash!

20:51 BS 7.0. Woke up but, not yet hungry & stayed in bed! I find that as I long as I don’t get out of bed there’s not much, if any, rise!

22:03 BS 7.8. 6 units Novorapid, sleep/wake, Dinner:- 1 serving chicken casserole, 1 box 100g microchips & watered down peach juice granini. 00:08 BS 10.6.

Thinking about that rise between breakfast & lunch, my breakfasts have changed a LOT since I first started eating it in March 2016. I started posting on this thread in April 2018 & I’ve gone from eating 2 or 4 slices of toast with tea to eating more protein & fats which I’ve found doesn’t drop BS much, if at all, after the 2 hour mark. There’s quite a big gap of 5/6 hours after breakfast before lunch & those two together maybe why I get that little rise? Will have to put that forward to the DSN on my next phone-in! Umm! 🙄

Ooh! 😛 We’re putting our new learned skills to use, I see! :D🙄, with a whistle!

Well done! 😎
 
30/06/18 Didn’t sleep after dinner!
04:29 BS 10.4. Only 0.2 drop in over 4 hours. Went for a walk of just over 4000 steps.

05:26 BS 8.7. After walk. 6 units Novorapid Breakfast:- not hungry half an oatcake. 10:36 BS 5.8. Forgot to test at the 2 hour mark so, was unduly worried as this is at the 3 hour mark & insulin is tailing off & will only be active for another hour!

11:20 BS 6.8. The same slight rise. 4 units Novorapid 29 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- 2 beef grills birds eye, 1 bag steam veg birds eye sunshine mix & bottled water. 14:13 BS 6.6.

Slept after lunch, around 16:30, the last time I looked at the clock!

Woke near midnight & by the time I cooked & ate, it’s technically the next day so, will post that tomorrow.

Ate a big breakfast! 😛
 
B. My usual , and cream was involved :D.
Late dinner. 4 Ryvita’s with Brussels pate, 5 strawberries and coffee .
S. An apple
Another Snack , A pack of wotsits some walnuts and a coffee with cream.
 
Incidentally, I’ve been meaning to ask! What kind of penut butter do you use! I use no sugar PB Sun Pat! I’d previously tried Meridian 100% PB & HATED IT as bland & oily! I never eat more than 1tbsp of it though, more is sickening, & I prefer the taste of the no sugar to the normal one: it’s tastier & the sugar one is more bland!

Snap 🙂 I too find it tastier than the sweet one. For a time I did buy Meridian I do like it but eventually found it was too runny.
I think having Diabetes has educated my taste buds.:D
