00:05 BS 7.4. 20 units Novorapid 6 units Levemir Dinner:- 1 pack 12 chicken gyzoya steamed & 150ml apple juice tesco growers harvest. 02:21 BS 12.6. Correction 2 units Novorapid. Slept.

07:28 Awake BS 6.5. 18 units Novorapid, cautious reduction, exercises & Breakfast:- 1.5 packs 12 tempura prawns & bottled water. Not really hungry. 09:05 BS 8.9.

10:33 BS 9.9 at GP’s waiting room! Bit stressed!

12:26 just back home after getting ear spray at chemist & buying lunch at the chip shop next door. 24 units Novorapid, carbs guess, 24 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- 2 sausages, chips & beans with half bottle 250ml coke. Very naughty & I don’t normally eat this but, was very relieved after visit to GP! @Ljc, feel free to slap me!:D 14:22 BS 9.5. Whey hey! Not a bad guess!🙂

Dozed off after applying ear spray after eating, in case it permeates the ENT tract & tastes horrible: tea tree oil; yuck!:(

17:20 Awake BS 5.4. That’s quite a drop while I was asleep. Know I’m not done sleeping: wee call of nature, really! Don’t want to risk going lower during more sleep so, had the other half bottle 250ml coke & 1x32.5g pack crisps roast chicken walkers & 10 units Novorapid, guessing dose. Went back to sleep.

21:55 Awake BS 10.5. Eh! Obviously under guessed the dose a little. Not hungry yet! May or may not eat before midnight: most likely NOT. But, midnight Levemir will help bring that down! Which I might take a bit earlier & go back to sleep!

I hope you all had a good day & not been as naughty as I was!🙂

Had to carb guess twice today & didn’t get it right! I forgot that my pre lunch reading was still elevated by the stress of going to see the GP? Hence the drop after I dozed off? Then, under estimated the insulin dose for the precautionary snack before going back to sleep! I can’t get it right every time!🙄

27/09/18 Well today has been a day of too much insulin as the ear spray is doing its thing & I’m MUCH better! Still slept a lot, though!

04:38 BS 8.4. 24 units Novorapid, exercises & Breakfast:- 1 serving lamb curry, 1 bag steam veg rice birdeye & bottled water. Ear spray after eating. Forgot to test as I started slow cooking chicken casserole & baking potatoes, for dinner later, & was too busy posting, a lot, on the music thread! Scooped the baked potatoes out of their skins when done, added butter & black pepper & cooled in the fridge to be reheated when eating.

Same recipe with a smaller whole chicken, 1.25kg so, managed to fit in 1.5 punnets of closed cup mushrooms, 2 diced onions & 1 extra oxo pot, 4 in total, to cover the extra ingredients. Slowed cooked on med for 8 hours.

10:56 BS 6.6. 18 units Novorapid, cautious reduction, 24 units Levemir, all other meds plus an allergy tablet, as suggested by GP to help with sinuses as I can’t have decongestants due to blood pressure meds: handy tip from GP; not as effective as a decongestant but, still helps! Lunch: 1 herb, cheese & mushroom omelette, 1 bag steam veg birdseye sunshine mix & 150ml apple juice tesco growers harvest. Ear spray after eating. Was tired & slept!

17:16 BS 4.1. Awake. Felt light headed when vertical & VERY unsteady on my feet so, sipped half can 165ml coke!

17:46 BS 5.8. Come back up nicely. 12 units Novorapid, very cautious reduction, Dinner:- 1 serving reheated baked potato mash, half a chicken leg, 1 chicken oyster or mini breast fillet & bottled water. 20:19 BS 6.2. A bit low but, ok, ish since I forgot to test earlier & it’s past the 2 hour window: again posting a lot on the music thread!

23:27 BS 7.5. Going to bed! A little rise there from the hypo treatment just before dinner?

Feel MUCH better today &, although I reduced doses today, that improvement kept me on my toes as I STILL over bolused!

Goodnight everyone! I tired & will take my midnight Levemir, a bit early again, & go to bed!🙂
 
@Lanny glad you’re feeling better, insulin sure keeps us on our toes doesn’t it.
 
Brunch. A cheese n onion sarnie , coffee and a bit later an apple
D. Meatballs Al Forno ? I didn’t fancy any veg, a Coke Zero.
Sadly I’m all out of walnuts , may have a few almonds
Water throughout the day

Yesterday
Tea
B: Greek yogurt & raspberries, 2 boiled eggs
Tea
Now, this is where the day went downhill, rapidly 🙄. We held a Macmillan coffee morning at work - there was cake, lots of cake. Are you getting the picture? Anyway, my part in the cake eating exercise helped us to raise almost £600 :D
After the cake I had to have something savoury, I was almost craving it so ended up with a tuna salad sourdough roll.
Coffee
T: Slow cooked gammon with 2 sweet potato and cheese slices. G&T's

Ahhh!:D BUT, did you enjoy it?😉
 
Slept for over 15 hours after lunch yesterday & only awake briefly at midnight for Lemevir.😱 Sleeping emoji

So, will ACTUALLY post yesterday’s meals later this morning: have to rack brains after this morning’s breakfast!😱🙄
 
28/09/18
06:05 BS 8.5. Awake but, not hungry! So, 10 units Novorapid & half an oatcake to stop BS rising! I find that half my breakfast dose & half an oatcake is the right combination for this. 07:46 BS 4.9. Too low! Sipped half can 165ml coke. 08:26 BS 6.2. 8 units Novorapid, exercises & Breakfast:- 1 serving chicken casserole, 1 serving reheated baked potato mash & the rest of the coke. Because it was quick to microwave. 10:50 BS 9.9. Just outside target range!

Judging from that I think, at present, I need 16 or 18 units for breakfast so, might have been ok with 6 or 8 units for the half oatcake?

12:15 BS 10.0. With meter tolerances that’s about the same reading with no drop: the coke? 14 units Novorapid, guessing dose, 24 units Levemir, all other meds & Lunch:- 2 sausages cookstown, 1 slice veg roll hulls, 100g baked beans, herb, cheese & mushroom omelette & bottled water. 13:57 BS 9.1.

Very tired & conked out after testing: don’t know when.

Woke all bright eyed, bushy tailed & raring to go this morning!:D

I don't understand. Are your BG levels ok when you eat Potatoes, Oatcake, Porridge, Parsnips? If I ate these foods, my Glucose levels go up to higher levels if I were not to eat those foods mentioned above. My typical day is nothing for breakfast. Lunch a meat salad or homemade soup, Dinner would be..Broccoli and Cauliflower mash, pork chop, and greens or other vegs that grow above ground. Rice pasta couscous potatoes bread is all no-no for me. I will eat Berries full fat cream, full fat butter, Olive oil, all meat, fish, certain nuts eggs cheese etc. I have looked around this site and am shocked at what Diabetes.UK are telling Diabetics to eat. I used to eat all so I thought healthy food what this site are recommending and I ended up being a Pre-Diabetic. Now I have changed my diet and my sugar levels are under control
