This morning I tried having a mug of chicken broth early on (only a mug of hot water before it) fir which I took a slightly smaller than usual dose of insulin. FBG was 10.9 and that dropped to 6.4 at 11 am.
As I suggested yesterday, I made cauliflower rice kedgeree for my meal - which I just had (5.30 pm - BG back up to 9.5). I toasted the cauliflower really well in the oven to dry it as much as possible and used smoked mackerel as the fish element. Not the finest thing I have ever cooked, but it was edible and I'm hoping for great things from it (relating to my constipation).
Neil took me shopping in the morning but, as I should have realised, there was no ferry due to the weather, so the shops were pretty well depleted. But, in the second supermarket we visited, Neil managed to get me a small cauliflower. Not the freshest - must have been left over from last week, and a bit soft, but it did the job. He also managed to get me some salmon - one packet left and it was half a side. Prefer my salmon fresh, not in a packet and I was hoping for a complete side to make gravlax. But it will have to do. At least it wasn't frozen.
To add to my worries, Neil's sarcoidosis seems to have affected more of him than we previously thought. It seems it has probably caused the membrane around the aqueous humour in his right eye to harden and peel away - apparently not too unusual, but in peeling away it has caused a bleed into his eye. He actually felt it tearing away when he was on his way to the optomotrist to see what was wrong. And now he has a huge floater in his eye which he has to peer through. Unfortunately, that is the better eye as well. He's less uncomfortable about it than me. I have forbidden him to do any heavy work, or to bend down too much; just to be on the safe side. Not sure that one gets to forbid Neil anything though.
