Smoked mackerel pate on RyVita for breakfast before going to town with Neil - he went to the supermarket for me but took me so that I could go to the delicatessen in town to see if they had any decent ham. He couldn't have done that because all meat is a no no for him. Luckily, third time around the town, we got a parking space right outside the shop so I could get into it. Just about killed my legs but I did get some ham (packaged already, unfortunately), some half decent looking chorizo (also prepacked) and a small jar of sun dried tomatoes in olive oil.
For later I have some salmon with which I shall have a cucumber salad.
Just realised, that will be 2 fish meals today - both oily. I should have had some of the chicken liver pate instead.
Finally got the diabetes nurse on the phone. She's OK now with the amount of insulin I am taking and says just carry on with the Toujeo and the Fiasp, even though the amount I am taking is just as high as the Lantus and the Humilin S. I told her that this level is sort of working (BG around 11 or so) just so long as I stick with the low carb way of eating but if I eat carbs BG goes right to the top of the scale on my meter so she's reasonably OK with the low carbs as well. She says she'll ask the dietician to give me a call. I'll be polite, because that's the way I was brought up but I can't think she'll have anything to add to the conversation, except to eat more carbs anyway.
