can I heal type 1???

Day 12...

Have to tell you first that I have just this minute found out something really interesting...typed in my day's food into fitday.com, and my partner's as he is also keen to see what nutrition he is getting, and our average carbs/fat/protein % for the days we have entered so far were EXACTLY the same. <b>63% of calories were carbs, 24% fat and 13% protein</b>. So I am getting the same amount of protein from plant foods as my meat guzzling partner!!! Found that very interesting indeed. Also puts to rest all the questions people have been asking about where I am going to get my protein from. Doesn't seem to be an issue

This morning am <b>BS 6.7</b> [:0] Way too high, again! The reduction in levemir that my dietician suggested does not seem to be a good move, in my opinion. Will put the dose back up to 4 units tonight as I am not happy waking up with these kind of readings.[!]

8:30am ate a banana for fuel then biked up to the gym to do some weights. <b>No insulin</b>. Forgot my bike chain AGAIN, did that a few days ago as well, but the receptionist was kind and let me keep my bike in the staff office to stop it getting pinched.

10:30am veggie juice - 100g spinach, handful of green beans, some broccoli florets, half a cuspamber, few sticks of celery, half a lime. Also made a cool, very pink, orange and watermelon juice for my partner (good way of getting vitamins into him without him noticing!) <b>No insulin</b>.

12:30pm felt starving so ate some lunch. Disappointed to see that my <b>BS was 6.0</b> :evil:. Had a big salad with two large mushrooms, a handful of brazil nuts, a handful of sunflower seeds, couple of dried apricots and half a romaine lettuce. Also two large purple plums. <b>No insulin</b>.

1pm walked into town (3 miles) with partner to look round the shops and read the Sunday papers in the pub. Only started walking in recently but both really enjoying it.

3:30pm <b>BS 5.3</b> Ate two bananas and a sharon fruit. And a handful of my partner's peanuts (very raw , and ADDICTIVE!) <b>2 units NR</b>

4:30pm walked back home again. Thought I had enough BS to fuel it but went to <b>3.2 </b> ten minutes from home! Ate three sugar tablets to correct.

7pm dinner <b>BS 4.6</b> finished off the courgette dip I made for lunch on Friday and ate with celery sticks, cuspamber pieces, carrot slices and sweet potato wedges. Also ate a punnet of blueberries. <b>No insulin</b>

<b>8pm 4 units levemir</b>

9pm - having to edit this entry as have just eaten another punnet of blueberries! Hungry after all that walking <b>1 unit NR</b>

Schools are back tomorrow :twisted: So I'll have to be at work earlier and will have to be a bit more efficient with my food preparation!

Hi LadyJ

Nice to hear from you again! How are things going with you?

Thank you for your encouraging comments, helps a lot with motivation

You are right, I am having too many hypos. I'm really not aiming to, I just seem to get the NR wrong by a unit quite often. That ratio of 1:1 the dietician told me to use is way out. Did some maths today and I reckon it is more like 0.5:1. Will try to work out my carbs more mathematically in future - am going more on "feeling" at the moment. Hopefully that should make things a bit more accurate. My levemir dose is doing my head in at the moment. I didn't like the readings I got with 3 units, but then when I put it back up to 4 yesterday ended up at 3.1 at 2am even though I was 8.1 at bedtime! Could have been because I did a long walk around 5pm. Will try it for a few days and see!

See you soon, thanks again for your post, really appreciate the support

Claire

Day 13...

Yesterday bedtime <b>BS 8.1</b>
2am this morning <b>BS 3.1</b> [!]
6am this morning <b>BS 4.2</b>

Woke up quite grouchy this morning after having a nice night time hypo. Not sure whether that was the increase back up to 4 units levemir or the long walk in the early evening. Will try 4 units for a couple more days and see what happens.

7am breakfast - veggie juice...100g kale, cuspamber, celery, broccoli, half a lime. <b>No insulin</b>.

8am breakfast part 2 (always hungrier when at school, probably because it is freezing cold and generally depressing ) lunchbox full of watermelon and honeydew melon. <b>1 unit N R</b>

My body launched into detox about an hour afer the melon...will try to spare you the gory details but let's just say I made quite a few trips to the loo and it was very GREEN!? []

11am <b>BS 4.9</b> 2 small bananas...<b>2 units NR</b>

1pm lunch <b>BS 5.7</b> - little bit higher than I would have liked, but OK. Ate two of those big purple plums which I have fallen in love with, a big salad of chinese leaf, handful of pumpkin seeds, lots of sprouted beans, cuspamber...and a slice of raw carrot cake. A feast! <b>3 units NR</b>

Went down to the market near school at lunchtime to get in more supplies [] Bought some dates, a bunch of bananas, some tomatoes, a big pineapple, a cabbage, a cuspamber and a couple of celeries (is that a word???)...oh, and some rock hard nectarines that I can have in a a few days when they are ripe.
3:30pm hypo! <b>BS 2.8</b> ate a sugar tablet to correct and then four dried apricots (not strictly raw, but yummy) and a handful of walnuts.

Dinner 7pm <b>BS 5.2</b> Made a really delicious raw tomato soup. Put 8 tomatoes, 2 dates and a bunch of parsley in the food processor and whizzed up with some water. It made 3 big portions. Crumbled in some raw mushroom at the table and it was GOOD. <b>No insulin</b>.

8pm <b>4 units levemir</b>...let's see if I make it through the night tonight!

Have noticed today that I have not had so many cravings, yippee

Back tomorrow for day 14 - TWO WEEKS!!!

Also, having done some maths today, will be making more of an effort tomorrow to use a concrete insulin:carbs ratio to work out my NR. It WON'T be 1:1 like the dietician said...will try 0.5:1 as I think that is more accurate.

Lady J

Hope you feel better soon! Lots of people have that horrible cold.

Claire

Day 14...

Much better am reading today <b>BS 4.4</b>

Decided I would cycle to school today (10 miles each way) now that I have had my bike a couple of weeks and am getting more used to cycling on the roads. So...set off at 6:20am as I had no idea how long it would take and wanted to be in plenty of time for 8am meeting with deputy head. Wanted to have a veggie juice before I went but didn't have time to make it, so just grabbed a glass of orange juice instead.

Made it OK! Was quite hungry when I got there, so ate half a pineapple. Am trying to be much more precise with my insulin dosage today, so worked out that usually half a pineapple needs 3 units NR, and then took off 50% to account for the exercise...so <b>1 unit NR.</b>

10am <b>BS 5.7</b> Ate two bananas and a handful of almonds, gave myself <b>1 unit NR </b> as I would usually give 2-3.

1pm lunch <b>BS 3.4</b>...nearly got it right! The student I was seeing would NOT stop talking. That's the problem with the job I do (one-to-one work with teenagers who have a lot of problems to deal with)...can't just say "oh, sorry, you'll have to stop telling me how your Dad abuses you because I need to have my lunch to avoid a hypo" lol. Ate a sugar tablet to correct, then had a FEAST (was v. hungry after all that cycling ). 5 oranges, a bowl of the raw tomato soup I made yesterday, half a bag of spinach. Was pretty full afterwards. 5 oranges = 75g carbs = 3ish units - 50% for exercise = 1.5 ish, I knew from yesterday that the tomato soup needed 1 unit, and after a hypo I need less insulin...phew...so after all that decided on <b>2 units NR</b>.

3:30pm <b>BS 4.5</b>. Was starting to think about going home, so drank a carton of orange juice (not raw - shop bought juice is pasteurised, so cooked) and ate another orange.

4pm set off for home...took 20 minutes less than this morning. Think that was because it was much more downhill on the way home, also my bag was nowhere near as heavy because I had eaten all my food lol.

7pm dinner <b>BS 4.8</b> Made a pepper salsa (4 red peppers whizzed up in the food processor) and poured that over a plate of chinese leaf, pumpkin seeds and raisins. Not sure the raisins went so well with it! Ate three dates for dessert. 40g carbs, so normally 2 units NR, minus 50% for the exercise = <b>1 unit NR</b>.

8pm Decided to reduce my levemir by one unit as whenever I have exercised late afternoon/evening have hypoed in the night. So <b>3 units levemir</b>

Had an early night as was quite tired from all that exercise. <b>BS 7.6</b>

Was glad I took the time today to be more mathematical with my insulin. Seemed to work much better.

Two weeks done!

Observations from week two...

1) my clothes are fitting better - not sure that this is "weight" loss as such as I have noticed that I am far less bloated than I used to be. Also no more puffy face in the mornings

2) My skin is a much better colour. The only times since starting raw vegan that I have woken up pale/"pasty" have been when I have eaten a lot of cooked food or junk the day before.

3) My body has been at work chucking out rubbish this week. Don't want to go into too much detail but my bowels have been much more efficient [] My tummy is flatter now!

4) Raw food takes a lot more chewing than cooked! I always used to finish dinner before my partner, the past few days he has been finishing LONG before while I am still chewing away.

5) I have come to the conclusion that you need to eat a LOT of fruit on this diet, for the calories. Looking at fitday.com I wasn't getting enough calories for the exercise I do, but I have been trying to eat more fruit and this has helped to bump up the energy. Dates and bananas are really good for me at the moment.

6) Getting nuts and seeds every day is the way to go at this stage. A lot of raw vegans advocate 10% fat, which I had been trying to achieve at first by limiting nuts/seeds. Using fitday has shown me, however, how many nutrients are in these foods and I feel I will run the risk of deficiency if I restrict them too much. Also, I have had fewer junk cravings this week which may be down to more fat, or maybe just more calories in general.

7) Sprouted beans are really important, too. They are quite calorie-dense, which is good, and contain more protein than cooked beans, so they help out with protein levels, too.

The only disadvantage I have found this week has been the amount/cost of food I need to buy. Veggies are nice and cheap, but fruit can be expensive, especially when I am trying to eat a large variety of fruits for different nutrients. I'm not a huge apple fan, but I think I will start bulking out my fruit intake with apples as they are nice and cheap. I don't really mind spending a lot on food though - you really can't put a price on your health.

Hi Dennis,

Many thanks for your lovely post. I am really getting a lot of encouragement from the kind comments other members are posting.

Wow, you read my entries every day? I thought that probably not many people were reading the thread because not many people are posting, but then I noticed today that there are over 600 views!

I will keep posting every day for a month, and after that I'm not sure whether I will do it daily or weekly/monthly for a bit. I'm imagining it will probably get quite repetitive to read. At the moment, posting every day is really keeping me on track because every time I get tempted to stray I remember that I will have to post it . Also, writing things down is really making me look at my diabetes management and try to improve it. But I'm not sure that much self-discipline has been required, really, as these are the foods I like and I REALLY love the idea of eating this way to reap the health benefits.

See you soon, hope things are going well for you

Claire

Hi LadyJ

Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, I agree I am still a bit low. Am aiming to get a day where I DON'T have a hypo! Maybe today will be that day, it's looking good so far...

I'd never really thought that I was having that many hypos before. Writing all my stuff down and REALLY looking at it is helping me to improve things.

Thanks for your DAFNE-type link. It is good!

Claire

Day 15...

Made the right decision to reduce my levemir to 3 units after early evening exercise...yesterday bedtime <b>BS 7.6</b>, this morning <b>BS 3.7 </b> - imagine what that would have been if I had had 4 units levemir[:0].

Ate a sugar tablet and half an orange that was in the fridge and then went to the gym. Only did a few minutes walking to warm up and then some weights as I got up too late to get a proper workout in before work. Never mind, at least I got something done!

8:30am breakfast <b>BS 4.7</b> Veggie juice - half a cabbage, celery, cuspamber, handful of green beans, half a small carrot, half a lime. <b>No insulin</b>. LOVE my veggie juice in the mornings. Works much better for me than a fruit breakfast, seem to have sugar cravings all day long if I start off with fruit.

10:30am <b>BS 7.1</b> 3/4 galia melon. I would usually give 1 unit NR for a whole melon, but decided to stick with <b>1 unit insulin</b> anyway to bring down the 7.8 a bit before lunch.

Am thinking that detox has finished for the moment...didn't spend all morning in the loo (yippee) and also am not so thirsty.

12:30pm lunch <b>BS 4.8</b> Slice of raw carrot cake, and a huge salad with 100g sprouted beans/lentils, a handful of brazil nuts, iceberg lettuce and pepper. That was really good, very filling. Decided on <b>1 unit NR</b> - carrot cake is 20g carbs, and dietician said not to count carbs from pulses as they are so slowly absorbed.

3pm <b>BS 4.2</b> hmmm...could really do with my mid-afternoon readings being a bit higher. Thing is, if I am going to get cravings for junk/sugar, they always hit around 3pm, and having low-ish BS at that time is not helping. Maybe I can "take" 20g carbs at lunch without insulin? Ate two bananas. <b>2 units NR</b>

4pm...sugar cravings big-time...wonder why?

6pm dinner <b>BS 3.2 </b> :evil:Ate a sugar tablet to correct, then 3 dates and the last portion of my raw tomato soup....and a handful of brazils. Dates = 28g carbs and last time soup needed one unit, so decided on <b>2 units NR</b>.

8pm <b>4 units levemir</b>

Still had sugar cravings and was grouchy because I was tired, and caved in finally at the pub (went to quiz night at Wetherspoon). Ate a big blueberry muffin. <b>2 units NR</b>. Very cross with myself as it wasn't particularly good and I was doing so well. Also it had quite a bad effect on me, I suppose because I haven't had anything processed for a while. I got a HUGE sugar rush in my head within about 5 minutes of finishing it which made me just want to lie down, and I started getting bloating/indigestion in my tummy a bit after that. I was really shocked at the way my body reacted, I mean no-one feels particularly good after eating junk but I have never had such an extreme reaction after such a small amount. On the positive side, however, feeling so yucky afterwards stopped me wanting any more, and that is an achievement for me. Usually once I start on something like muffins I really don't stop. So I was quite pleased about that, and also I'm not sure if I want any more muffins if that is how they are going to make me feel.

Bedtime <b>BS 4.1</b> :?::?::?: Was intially bit confused as didn't think 2 units NR for a whole big muffin would bring me this low. But then remembered that fatty foods can delay the release of glucose into the bloodstream and guessed that my BS would probably rise again. I felt like my stomach was still digesting it and so there would be more glucose to come. Ate a sugar tablet and went to bed very, very grouchy :twisted: Am not looking forward to tomorrow morning...I know there will be repurcussions, probably in the form of wanting jam doughnuts for breakfast which is what usually happens the night after junk []. The more healthily you eat, it seems, the more the problems you get when you eat rubbish

See you later for day 16

Hi Lady J

Sorry to hear you're still feeling rubbish My partner is off work and been ill for a good couple of weeks with that cold.

Try not to worry about your HbA1c...you're doing your best and you will be back to your normal good control once the cold's over. I have to say, though, I'm dreading my first "diabetic cold"!

My BS is always low in the afternoons as well! I have just posted a comment about it in yesterday's diary entry. I wonder if there's a biological reason for that? I think I'm going to use a bit less insulin at lunch and see what happens. Being ravenous at 3pm is just not good for me as it's my weakest time for giving in to evil :twisted:foods. Today I used 1 unit less at lunch and actually I'm feeling ready for a snack now, so I could do a test and see what's happening...5.2. Hey, that's OK! And I had 20g carbs worth of fruit which seems to have been mopped up! That's worth remembering...

See you soon, always enjoy chatting with you

Day 17...

Good decision not to do a correction last night...this morning <b>BS 4.3</b>

Forgot to say yesterday that I measured my pH to see whether the muffin episode had affected it - and it had, I was acidic again (6.5). Was back up at 7.0 this morning. Would like to be more 7.2/7.4 though...

Made a veggie juice - cuspamber, celery, half a cabbage, one and a half carrots (sugar for my exercise!), half a lime, ginger. <b>No insulin</b>

7:15am cycled to school, 7 miles. Am starting to feel a bit inadequate in my old bleach-stained jogging bottoms and baggy T-shirt...everyone else on the roads seems to be in lycra AND they're super-fit...it's quite embarrassing being overtaken by other cyclists!

8:30am breakfast <b>BS 5.2</b> 1 mango <b>No insulin</b>

11am <b>BS 7.7</b> some fresh pineapple. <b>No insulin</b>

12pm lunch <b>BS 5.2</b> 2 red g****fruits (yum), with a big salad...pine nuts, celery and butternut squash and fennel "rice" from yesterday. <b>No insulin</b>

3pm <b>BS 5.6</b> Starting to think about cycling home again, so ate two bananas for fuel. <b>No insulin</b>

Oh no, it's raining! Was a lovely morning when I decided to go by bike!!! Got totally soaked on the journey home.

While I was putting my bike back in the garage decided to try out my new bench and weights in my "home-gym". Cool!!! Didn't do much though, as I felt a bit low, so did a test and I was <b>BS 4.2</b>. Ate a couple of plums to keep me going til dinner. <b>No insulin</b>

Dinner 6pm was STARVING so thought must be quite low again, but actually I was <b>BS 6.8</b>, so a bit high. Had a really nice dinner...two punnets of blueberries and the last lot of the butternut squash and fennel "rice" with half a grated courgette and some raisins and pumpkin seeds sprinked on top...oh and a mustard/lemon juice dressing. Really good. Was not sure whether to bother with insulin but decided on <b>1 unit NR</b> as blueberries can sometimes take me a bit high even though they say they're low in carbs.

8pm <b>3 units levemir </b> (one unit less for early evening exercise)

Went on http://www.totalrawfood.com after dinner to order a couple of bars of raw chocolate as my treat for doing so well this week Got one bar of orange and one bar of mint. Expensive but worth it, can't wait for it to arrive.

Bedtime <b>BS 4.1</b>...oh no, got that wrong! Really didn't feel like eating as pretty stuffed from dinner, so had some orange juice instead.

No hypos today, hooray!

See you tomorrow...

Day 18...

Slept badly last night :evil: Lad next door had his 16th birthday party. He was polite enough to come round and warn us, spent about ten minutes going on to my partner about how there ARE nice, considerate kids around after all (we both work with stroppy kids all day!) but changed my mind about 10pm when I was trying to get to sleep and chants of "let's go <i>f****** </i> mental (or more like men'al, this is South London), la la la la" were coming through the wall at top volume. "No, let's not", I thought...must be getting old!!!

Anyway, the bad sleep didn't seem to do me any harm, was up and bouncing at 6:45...unheard of at the weekend! Before I started this raw diet, I would usually get up about 7am to have some breakfast because my tummy would be growling, but then I would ALWAYS go back to bed for another hour or so. Am just not as tired in the mornings these days.

am <b>BS 4.3</b>

Breakfast: veggie juice, couple of carrots, few handfuls of spring greens, cuspamber, celery, half a lime, ginger. <b>No insulin</b>

Decided to get some exercise while partner was still snoring (he doesn't usually make it out of bed until 11 ish at the weekend; he is not a raw foodist, more of a beer-and-snack-ist lol). Went for a walk (45 mins) as was such a nice day, then came home to do some weights. Love my new "home-gym! Felt a bit low after the walk so did a test...<b>BS 4.9</b>, so ate a banana to keep me going.

10:30am <b>BS 5.8</b> two red g****fruits. <b>No insulin</b>

12:30pm lunch <b>BS 7.3</b> whoops! Got that wrong! For lunch I ate a 1/4 of a whole watermelon, with a salad of grated turnip, grated courgette, romaine lettuce a handful of walnuts/brazil nuts and 4 dried apricots and a lemon juice and mustard dressing. Yum! Then went on a bit of a dried apricot trip...for some reason having got the taste of them my body just wanted MORE!!! Ended up eating about 20!!! Oh well, they are nutritious (not raw thought, so I will probably pay for it later) and a good thing was that I DIDN'T eat the whole packet, I ate until I didn't want anymore then stopped. Generally when I start eating like that I eat the whole packet of whatever it is, doesn't matter how big the packet is, then I go looking for something else until I've "finished". I really am finding that the raw diet is helping me to stop at sensible amounts, yippee! Did wonder why I wanted so many apricots, though...either there is a nutrient in there that my body wants, or another thought I had was that I didn't eat much after my exercise. Often find I can't seem to get enough calories at lunch if I don't "re-fuel" properly. Must remember to eat enough after exercise. Decided on <b>2 units NR</b>

3pm <b>BS 3.9</b> Oh no!!! Couldn't understand why had gone so low, when I worked out the lunch dose really carefully including taking into account exercise. Then remembered that I seem to need about a unit less than I think at lunchtime! Drank a little bit of orange juice and ate a banana.

Was starting to find out what 20 non-raw apricots would do to me...had indigestion and massive bloating all day :x Won't do that again!!! Interesting, though, that I didn't get a sugar rush in my head like I got from the muffin a couple of days ago. Just goes to show that fruit sugar really is so much better for you than refined stuff.

4pm Decided we would walk into town (about an hour's walk at our pace!).

Decided to go and see a film ("The Bank Job"...very good). Faced a bit of a dilemma...only on at 6:30 or 9pm. 9pm is too late for me as I can't last much beyond 10:30, sad I know , so it had to be 6:30...but that meant eating about 9:30. Wasn't too sure how to manage this, really. Was aware that my BS would be falling quite quickly due to two walks and some weights during the day, so decided to get it quite high before we went in to prevent hypoing during the film. Ate two bananas, and BS at 6:30 was <b>10.7</b>.

8:45pm <b>3 units levemir</b>

That worked! 9pm dinner <b>BS 4.4</b>. Went to Zizzi's, and I tell you, I could have eaten the biggest pizza they had I was so starving. And I rarely have pizza!!! Thought about it, but having seen the reaction I get now to non-raw decided it really wasn't worth it. Am taking Mum down to Brighton for Mother's Day tomorrow and she always scrutinises me to see whether I "look well". Also she is in her fifties and still has a better figure than me! So didn't fancy being all bloated and fat and puffy and grouchy. So went for the best option I could find. It was quite difficult, I have to say. Saw a nice salad, but it was served with chicken and ciabatta bread with goat's cheese. Couldn't really ask for "that chicken salad, but without the chicken, and the bread and the cheese...oh and without the gunky dressing, too, please"!!! Decided on a plain mixed salad (cuspamber, lettuce, spinach, tomato, pepper) together with a starter dish of marinated olives. Tasted good, though the olives were not raw and very salty. Happened to have bought some mung bean sprouts during the day, so bunged a load of them on top as well. Though my partner was going to die of embarrassment. Oh, well, should be used to me after nearly five years [] <b>No insulin</b>.


bedtime <b>BS 8.1</b>

Bye for now!

Day 19...

Well, something I ate yesterday definitely didn't agree with me. Don't know whether it was the dried apricots or maybe the olives at the restaurant as they were very heavily marinated and certainly not raw in any case. Felt just like I used to in the morning - pale, pasty, puffy, groggy for ages after I got up. Had wanted to do some exercise before taking my Mum out for lunch for Mother's Day, but couldn't be bothered.

Am <b>BS 5.8</b>..a little high. Breakfast - veggie juice with spinach, cuspamber, celery, red pepper, ginger, turnip, half a lime. No insulin.

10am <b>BS 7.1</b>STARVING ...ate two bananas and two big purple plums. That filled me up! <b>3 units NR</b>

12pm Stopped just outside Brighton at a petrol station so decided to do a test to see whether I'd be OK til lunch (and driving) <b>BS 6.4</b> Guessed that would be fine.

12:30pm Just arrived in car park and felt odd <b>BS 2.9</b> [:0] What a drop in half an hour, bearing in mind I was just sitting in a car!!! Ate two sugar tablets and a nectarine.

12:45pm lunch. Ate a huge salad in the Italian restaurant. Waiter seemed a bit stroppy when I asked for a Greek salad but with avocado instead of feta cheese...tough! Anyway, what are they doing serving GREEK salad in an Italian??? Must have issues, if you ask me .

Spent the afternoon walking around Brighton and ate a couple of sugar tablets as I didn't really feel hungry but knew that I didn't have many carbs at lunch.

Stopped at 3:30pm for a drink <b>BS 5.2</b> Ate a Larabar that my Mum bought me (marketed as raw food bars but I'm a bit sceptical! Anyway, they just contain fruit and nuts and taste quite good, you can get them in Sainsbury's and some health food shops). <b>1 unit NR</b>

Had quite a bad journey home with the traffic and got back very tired and drained from lots of driving spending the whole day with my Mum. Obviously my Mum is the best and we had a nice time but we don't always get on and I feel drained afterwards every time I see her....bought a pizza from the petrol station for dinner (hang my head in shame!) A classic example of emotional eating, that. I ALWAYS want junk after seeing my Mum. Even as I picked it up my brain was saying "you want to put THAT in your body???" but yes, actually at that moment I did! It tasted OK, wasn't great wasn't awful, but it knocked me out for the rest of the evening and I went to bed early. <b>5 units NR</b> Must make a conscious effort next time I see my Mum to have something healthy with me to eat afterwards so I don't go looking for junk. [!]

<b>8pm 4 units levemir</b>

Totally forgot to measure bedtime BS as was in coma-like, pizza-zombie state! Will have massive sugar cravings tomorrow morning now...

See you tomorrow!
