30/06/18 Another strange day in terms of BS but, settled down! Phew!

23:29 BS 7.2. Woke up. Cooked a big breakfast; hungry!

01/07/18
00:03 Dinner:- 8 units Novorapid, sleep/wake +2. 2 poached eggs, 2 baked sausages cookstown, 2 slices buttered toast, 100g baked beans heinz, 3 cups twinings everyday, 120ml longlife almond milk alpro. 02:03 BS 8.3.

03:55 BS 9.2. A rise but, not too bad! Wanted to exercise on the trampoline rather than go for a walk as it’s still dark outside! Wanted to see what readings are before & after.

5 minutes on the trampoline. Have to build up stamina from the beginning again as, with one thing & another, it’s been weeks since I last did this!

04:58 BS 9.6. Still rising? When always before there’s a drop after exercise! :confused:

Breakfast:- 6 units Novorapid half an oatcake: not hungry! 05:57 BS 7.3. Felt VERY hot, sweaty & lightheaded so, tested early! Yikes already dropped that much in an hour! Headed for hypo territory so, another half oatcake! Light headedness started to recede!

10:51 BS 5.9. 4 units Novorapid 29 units Levemir & all other meds, a little early but, not by much. Lunch:- 2 servings my prawn & sweetcorn soup & 2 squares of Lindt 85% chocolate. 12:43 BS 8.3.

Slept soon after but, not as long!

Woke around 20:30 but, wasn’t hungry & stayed in bed!

21:39 BS 5.9. Getting hungry 6 units Novorapid, sleep/wake, Dinner:- 1 serving my prawn sweetcorn soup, 1 box 100g microchips mccains, garlic salt & malt vinegar. 23:29 BS 8.4.

In hindsight, I see that 6 units for half an oatcake for breakfast was too much on 2 counts:- 1. It’s no longer breakfast as I’ve already been up for a while & 2. there’s a delayed drop after exercise! I got a bit confused by the meal labels after just over a week of abnormal patterns!

Read for a little bit & actually found myself drifting off! So, I’m going to sleep, again, soon &, hopefully, I’m back to a normal sleeping pattern tomorrow! 🙂
