B. My usual.
L. Cheddar cheese, an apple and sparkling water.
D. Corned beef hash.
I was so hungry so had an early morning snack of two slices of wholemeal buttered toast and coffee, as it was so close to my bedtime I only jabbed for one slice.
 
I won’t be posting yesterday’s meals! I can’t remember now what I ate but, it’s more or less the same! Also due to my neck injury I had to up all my doses to cover rising BS & still one 10 & one 9 creeped in despite the increased insulin, basal & bolus! The last thing I want to do is demoralise anyone with my rising BS numbers!
 
Also wont, be posting today! BS rose even higher today with a 12 & a 10, so added even more insulin & it started to come down after Lunch! Just had dinner & will be going to bed soon! Got through today on paracetamol & will see the GP tomorrow & get pyshio as soon as possible!

Goddnight everybody!🙂
 
Stupid food!

B- Greek yoghurt, strawberries, blueberries & raspberries (just a couple of each)
L- erm.... 3 courses at zizzi... calamari/king prawns shared with hubby, pollo prosciutto with coleslaw/tomato salad, 3 scoops ice cream (2x mascapone, 1x chocolate with salt)... and a v large glass of wine
D- not sure yet, we have Camembert but I’m not hungry yet

I’m never going to lose weight if I continue to let tiredness dictate my diet. Need the nights to cool just a little so my small people sleep better!! So frustrated and upset by my weight.

Nice!😎 Roared with laughter at the after pic of empty plate & wine bottle!:D:D:D
 
09/07/18 AND normal service resumes as I’ve managed to get the insulin doses right for my needs today & all my readings are within target ranges: albeit higer & with more than double my usual insulin doses; I need what I need & “I’m sucking it up!” Target BS ranges between 4.5 & 9.5: revised down a bit from the previous 5 to 10 by my DSN after my record breaking, for me, lower figures last week!

05:26 BS 9.1. 10 units Novorapid, yesterday’s 8 wasn’t enough & BS is even higher tday, Breakfast:- 1 baked sausage, 1.5 poached eggs, 50g baked beans & 1 cup twinings everyday with 40ml longlife almond milk. Could only manage half of my usual breakfast & was worried I’d had too much insulin but, couldn’t do anything about it as I’d already injected! 07:14 BS 8.1. Phew! It seems I got it right after all!

11:00 BS 8.4. 8 units Novorapid, yesterday’s 6 wasn’t enough, 30 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- 0.5 poached egg, 1 baked sausage, 50g baked beans, 1 beef grill birds eye, 1 bag steam veg birds eye sunshine mix & 150ml pressed apple juice tesco. 12:54 BS 9.2. High but, still ok, ish!

14:18 BS 6.2. It’s a bit early at just over 3 hours after lunch but, felt very hungry & a bit lightheaded & that’s quite a drop in BS in a little over an hour! 12 units Novorapid, yesterday’s 6 wasn’t enough & +6 for rice, Dinner:- very hungry 1 serving beef casserole, eyeballed about 3 or 4tbsp of boiled rice & 150ml pressed apple juice. 16:28 BS 7.4.

VERY tired & going to bed soon! Going to bed on a much lower figure today & hopefully tomorrow’s waking figure will be lower than today’s!🙂

Dosed up on paracetamol again today & got a referral for pyshio for my neck without having to see GP: the GP contacted the doctor on call who examined me on Sat. Today the paracetamol lasted 1 hour longer before the heat in my neck built up to burning: 6 hours instead of yesterday’s 5 hours. So, marginally better today? Hope pyshio won’t take too long! Two hands together, please emoji!

Wishing you all an early goodnight!🙂
