Dinner: roast turkey with roast celeriac and veg
Snack: tiny choc bun the kids made today and some peanuts

I tested my bg before dinner and was a bit confused. First result was 5.9 which I thought was a tad high so tried again on a different finger, 4.9 so tried again on the first finger and got 5.2. I know it can vary but 4.9-5.9 is quite a jump in my mind. Makes me wonder if when I’ve been seeing results in the 4s maybe I’m actually higher?

 

[Kaylz]

but 4.9-5.9 is quite a jump in my mind

15-20% error margin generally, 15% would be 0.885mmol and 20% would be 1.18mmol so I wouldn't say it's overly concerning xx

 

[Docb]

I think the ISO standard is +/- 15%, that is the device should return a result somewhere between +15% and -15% of a laboratory test. So if the true value was 5mmol/l, the device should show somewhere between 4.1 and 5.8. That is just for the errors in the test machine, taking into account all variations in the test strips and meters. You might expect a single meter using a single batch of test strips to show less variability. You have then got the sampling error, taking a small spot of blood from jabbing a hole in a finger somewhere and expecting that to give the same answer from a syringeful from a vein is pushing it a bit.

When you weigh it all up, a range of 4.9 to 5.9 for what you think should be identical readings is not unreasonable. Actually it is a bit amazing that hand held glucometers give readings which are as close as they are.

Tues 28-04-2020
Breakfast nut granola and CWC one scrambled egg with two rashers of bacon.
Lunch: Garden salad, one slice pain Kapnor toast with i thick slice of pâté on top. Almost more pâté than toast. red cabbage coleslaw. Cucumber. Water and tea.
More tea, and more tea.
Dinner: had the second shoulder pork chop. So much more juicy than the loin version. Roast celariac, brocolli, carrot, and a few bits of leek. Water to drink.

Then made lemon mug cakes. Took ages working out the sweetener substitutes, have only one in the cupboard. But cakes came out ok. Had one with cream. Cannot enthuse, was not that good. But it was acceptable and guilt free.
Other will be Mid morning treat tomorrow, but only if I go out on bike first.

Spent the afternoon, sorting out/cleaning the fridge, riced some veg for freezing. Fridge is looking a bit empty now, however freezer is nearly full.

weds 29-04-2020
breakfast:nut granola, CWC x2 cauliflower kedgeree. made with one half an onion, one fillet of whitefish, rarely see smoked haddock here, and one portion of cauli rice. One egg for garnish,spices etc obviously.
Very filling so left half for tomorrow.
Much anticipated coffee and cake, cake is ok, slightly different texture due to using coconut flour.
Chilly damp day, automatically got bowl and scissors for collecting salad, opened the door, gust of wind and rain in my face, shut it again - warm lunch needed today.
Lunch: found a packet of tomato soup. one portion is 16g carbs. Slightly increased size of portion, stirred in spoonfull of yoghurt, guestimated 22g carbs, Had small chunk of cheese and three rashers of bacon as side order. Dont know if the charcoaled bacon contributed much nutritionally, certainly didn't do anything for flavour.
BG before meal 4.6
hour and 15mins later 7.4 oops! Maybe not a good idea to have larger portion.
45 mins later, hit the two hours this time 5.0
Does this mean its an ok meal? Have two portions left, one in freezer.
two mugs of tea late afternoon.
Dinner: a cheesy, bolognaisy thing from the freezer, with buttered cabbage, brocolli and green beans, water and wine.
evening: tea and two sqares of dark chocolate with hazelnuts. Very pleased i managed to stop at two.

Breakfast: nut granola, cauliflower kedgeree, 2 CWC
cant remember if i had coffee in the morning.
Lunch: the same tomato soup with yoghut stirred in. Realised too late should have used cream. Was thinking soured cream and yoghurt is a decent substititute flavourwise, but has lot more carbs.

Lunch: salad, lettuce, cucumber, radish, One slice pain kapnor toast, pâté.Cucumber is really on its last legs,threw the remainder into compost bin. raspberries and cream. Am losing weight, eat more. Tea.
Afternoon, got the munchies again. Several pieces of cheese. Then thought i might be thirsty. Had missed morning coffee and water at lunchtime, so put the kettle on for tea. Power went off. Tumble Dryer and kettle, happens every time. Do know how to reset. But it didn't work. Waited a few mins. Try again. Still nothing. Had to call MrSlim. We spend about fifteen, maybe twenty minutes on the phone, while he gives instructions, and I try to follow them. Eventually we get it sorted, everything is working again.
Now, time for a cup of tea
Back to food. Started on the wine before dinner.
Dinner was teriyaki salmon using a recipe from internet. Made enough for two days. Buttered cabbage and peas. More raspberries and cream. Another glass of wine. Had several pieces of chocolate during the evening. Water before bed.
