Avocado and tomato salad for breakfast. 2nd meal will be another couple of sausages with more cabbage. The experiment of braising wedges of cabbage worked very well but I shredded the rest of the cabbage so will cook it as a dish by itself with maybe an apple and onion, or maybe with carrot...

5.1 at 01.20 today. I'd gone to bed - exhausted and very sore after 2 trips to town - about 23.00. Got to sleep fairly quickly but woke after one of my suffocating dreams and didn't want to go back to sleep right away, in case the dream continued after a short break. So up and a cup of coffee...

Breakfast: 2 RyVita and cheese. Black coffee X 2. Out for leg bandaging - what a relief after a whole week without! They were huge, shiny and blistered, looking ready to burst and actually very painful. Felt ready to burst as well. Anyhow, all bandaged up again but looking like elephant...

Just back from my appointments: 1 to get my legs bandaged after a whole week without due to last Wednesday's "accident". My legs had swollen massively - could hardly get my expandable shoes on, even without the bandages and they felt as if they were going to burst - lots of little blisters...

Bon voyage.:happy:

Your gran sounds so much like mine. The expression wasn't so much sucking on a lemon, more "you lot are giving me indigestion, but the sterilised milk was the same. I don't think I ever saw her smile. She was born in 1880 (she told us - her b irth certificate says 1881) and made sure we all...

My grandmother suffered from selective deafness. She had one of those old NHS hearing aids with earphones on wires and a battery pack hung around her neck (in the 50's). She could never hear anything anyone asked her or told her, but when someone rustled a sweet paper, she was there! Mistake...

BG at 03.25 today was 6.2. Up a bit to 6.4, but that's where it has stayed ever since. However, now that I have had my dentist appointment, I can have something to eat. We'll see where that leads. Dentist is because I am having a new false plate made - the previous one broke and has been...

#5's injury is one bit of luck too many. Hope that heals soon, at least. The point of respite really is for your sake. Mrs L will be fine and cared for but the break is for you. Take care and be as good to yourself as you can.

The rain clouds have passed over and the sun is out again, but there is a breeze, so it isn't all that hot. In the post, I received another plant. It's a honeysuckle and I want to plant it to climb through the sad looking Leyland cypress. At the moment, it's pretty sad looking itself. It...

2 boiled eggs with 2 buttered lentil crackers for breakfast Snack 4 strawberries Beef and broccoli in an Asian style sauce for 2nd meal

Breakfast: 2 soft(ish) boiled eggs and 2 buttered lentil crackers (4.4 net carbs each). 2nd meal is ready to go: beef and broccoli in an Asian style sauce. 40u of Tresiba today but, so far, no bolus insulin. BG is slightly up from yesterday (5's and 6's) but this is a whole new experience...

4.7 at 03.20 today. Up a bit to 5.2 right now.

It's going to be a busy few days, but have fun and make the most of it.

Had some smoked mackerel and salad for breakfast - with mayonnaise. No bolus insulin. I did take 80% of my normal dose of basal insulin though. BG steady 4.1 all day so far.

FBG at 04.00 was 4.3. Now 4.1 after 2 mugs of chicken broth. It's good, but I wish I knew why.

OK 40u Tresiba at 04.00 today. Just a couple of cups of broth so far and BG is 4.1. That's marginally down from FBG. I will be having breakfast shortly of some smoked mackerel and a little salad. Might add a few raspberries. It might be too hot for a second meal. The promised cooling...

Ah, but the lower number was only after the basal dose was removed from the equation. Anyhow, I took 40u of Tresiba this morning (that's actually 9u less than I have been taking). I had bacon, eggs (2) and tomato with 2 lentil crackers for breakfast. I reckon about 15g carbs in all and took...

Small bites and small doses is what I have been aiming at for all these years, since diagnosis. It would be the best I could hope for. Sadly, it doesn't always work that way. Fasting often leads to an increased BG so at least the full basal dose is usually required. Not this time. Recently...

Thanks for telling us. I hadn't heard the sad news. Sincere condolences from me, too.
