05/10/18 Better day that needed a bit less insulin & 1 hypo surprised me as I didn’t feel it: lucky I tested!
00:00 alarm no fumbling this time, 8 units Levemir & back to sleep.
06:53 BS 9.2. Slightly better! Not hungry, half oatcake & 10 units Novorapid.
08:30 BS 7.8. 10 units Novorapid, exercises & Breakfast:- 2 slices veg roll, 2 slices buttered toast, 100g baked beans & 1 cup tea twinings everyday with longlife almond milk. Not testing so I’m not tempted to add a correction.
11:00 26 units Levemir & all other meds. Not hungry yet!
12:43 BS 10.8. Slightly better! 20 units Novorapid Lunch:- 1 serving chicken casserole, 1 serving reheated baked potato mash & 150ml apple juice. 14:59 BS 3.9. Surprised as I didn’t feel anything! 2 chocolate biscuits first for sustained release as there’s still 2 hours of active insulin followed by 1 cup twinings everyday with almond milk & 2tsp sugar. Had coke but wanted tea with the biscuits & from previous experience know that at least 2tsp of sugar is needed as a hypo treatment!
16:32 BS 6.8. Come back up nicely & not TOO much! 16 units Novorapid, cautious reduction, Dinner:- 1 serving beef casserole & 150ml apple juice. Forgot to test.
20::02 BS 8.5. Going to bed soon!
Flu jab site hasn’t swelled any bigger but, still tender. Applying ice pack before going to sleep! Slightly less insulin today 56 units Novorapid compared to yesterday’s 60 units as I didn’t need any corrections added on & reduced the dinner dose after the lunch hypo caught me by surprise!
Hope you all had a good day & I wish you a goodnight!🙂

06/10/18 Started high again today because I got up late, I think, & still a hypo after lunch, which I DID feel, despite reduction. May try a lower breakfast dose & even if it’s high, up to 13.5?, before lunch I’ll stick with the 16 units I’ve decided to have: try to AVOID another post lunch hypo! Flu jab site had started to deflate a bit towards the end to of the day!
Actually took my Midnight Levemir a bit earlier just before bed last night at 23:45 BS 11.6. 8 units Levemir.
10:16 BS 11.1. Slept better with less tossing & turning! Hungry, for a change, 20 units Novorapid, higher BS, exercises & Breakfast:- 4 slices veg rolls, 100g baked beans & cup twinings everyday with longlife almond milk. Out of toast & eggs till Monday tesco delivery. Again not testing as I don’t want to be tempted to adda correction.
11:15 26 units Levemir & all other meds.
14:32 BS 9.1. 18 units Novorapid Lunch:- 1 pack 8 tempura prawns tesco, 1 pack 12 triangles= 1.5 slices frozen prawn toast tesco & 150ml apple juice. 16:06 Actually felt my heart rate speeding up at 1 hour 24 minutes on the Timesulin cap & thought it’s too early to test. Heart sped up even faster so, went ahead & tested. BS 4.5. I have this hypo treatment down pat now:- 2 chocolate biscuits first for sustained release followed by cup twinings everyday with almond milk & 2tsp sugar!
18:31 BS 6.1. Nicely up but not TOO much! 14 units Novorapid Dinner:- 100g potato lattices asda, 50g mature cheddar dromona, 100g baked beans heinz & bottled water. 20:40 BS 8.7.
Again my heart was racing like mad when testing after dinner & thought “hypo again? Doubted the reading & tested 3 more times! The other readings were a bit higher 9.8, 9.8 & 9.0. So, definitely NOT hypo so, calmed down & my heart rate went down! An increased heart rate is not always indicative of a hypo, it seems!
Flu jab site feels much better tonight & I don’t need an ice pack as the swelling seems to have gone down a bit. It’s still a wee bit tender when I press it!
Going to bed soon. Hope you had a good day & I bid you a goodnight!🙂

I would just add a word of caution though! A hot bath & alcohol both lower BS so, testing before getting into the bath with the wine to make sure you’re not in danger of a hypo!

07/10/18 An orange slightly higher than normal day with just one red high reading! BUT, no hypos & less insulin: 48 units compared to yesterday’s 52 units. By the end of the day the flu jab site is almost back to normal & only feels tender if I press it really hard!🙂
00:00 alarm BS 9.0 Not much of a rise! 8 units Levemir & back to sleep!
04:32 BS 10.6. 18 units Novorapid, exercises & Breakfast:- 3 oatcakes, 75g mature cheddar & 150ml apple juice. Will be glad of the tesco delivery tomorrow afternoon. Not testing: no temptation to add correction!
Dozed off after breakfast to be awakened by the midday alarm.
12:03. BS 10.7. Virtually no movement. 16 units Novorapid 26 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- tempura cod fillet, 1 bag steam veg & bottled water. 13:23 BS 12.5. Would be tempted to add a correction except that I’ve been going hypo after lunch, these last few days!
19:51 BS 10.2. Ok a bit higher than I’d like before dinner but, better than being hypo after lunch! 14 units Novorapid Dinner:- 1 serving lamb curry, 1 serving reheated fettuccine (same method of cooking, cooling completely & reheating that works for potatoes & pasta but, unfortunately, NOT for rice) & 150ml apple juice. 22:03 BS 8.5. At last 1 reading that’s green within target range!🙂
May just stay up a bit & take midnight Levemir before going to bed!
Hope you had an easy Sunday & I bid you all a goodnight!🙂
