Day 20: Good Day, Great Numbers, Decreased Insulin another 2 Units and did an Oopsie

September 7, 2013

8:00am

 FBG 100 J Breakfast was an omelet of country eggs stuffed with creamed spinach leftover from the night before and Jamaica Me Crazy coffee. Nice.

10:56am

PP BG 109 Very good! Maybe I am finally getting the hang of it. Fixed a plate of sliced spiced sesame – ginger tomatoes and cheese if I feel I need it: 105 kcal; 6.4gm fat; 4.12gm carbs; 6.29gm protein.

1:06pm

BG 89 Feeling great, prepared a nice lunch of Canadian bacon and cream cheese rolls with a side of mixed berries.

4:10pm

PP BG 113 Very pleased. Mixed up a batch of Madras Curry Spice for Cooking, better than buying it already prepared. Is chock full of spices that support good blood sugar control. Have altered a ‎Mulligatawny Chicken Soup to be moderately Low Carb, 15gm, omitting the rice and fruit. Made enough for for meals, will eat a portion for lunch tomorrow and freeze the rest.  

The Escali Nutrition Scale has proved invaluable for weighing and calculating carbs. Best purchase I have made of late.

I also wore my heating pad out, it is less than a year old so I have to use the pads that have to be micro-waved for heat therapy. Always something.

8:09pm

BG 98 a few minutes after I finished eating and administering 45 Units of insulin; another decrease of 2 Units.

I made an oopsie tonight.

Rushed to get dinner served while juggling a few other things and I lost focus.  I injected the decreased dose of insulin, ate the Mulligatawny soup then realized I did not check my BG before eating. So it had been exactly 9 minutes after I injected the insulin before I checked my Blood Glucose.  Ate some Ricotta to offset any hypo.

8:33pm

BG 103 checked for peace of mind.

10:05pm

PP BG 77. Good numbers, feeling ok but I need to get my BG up a few points as I do not feel confident going to bed with a number so close to hypo. I had not felt fear of hypo today and so have not  carbed  in response. This is a good thing; I am getting used to normal blood glucoses and felt pretty good. Ate some peanut butter and blackberries. I feel fine.

12midnight

BG 87. Still a bit low. I am going to consider decreasing my evening insulin a bit more, perhaps my morning insulin as well I will reassess in the morning Think it s time for the tomato and cheese plate, not hungry but a little wary of my last couple of numbers and will sleep better >100..

And so another day comes to a close~
