I hope Mrs Urb packed a load of jelly babies with your kit when she bought it in. I remember having to tot all the carb up when it was in font of me when I had a knee replacement not all that long ago and there being very little to choose from that wasn’t high sugar, high fat: you’d think carbohydrate content would have been added to the requirements given to the caterers with all the people with diabetes who end up on the Wards..... oh, that could be why so many end up there. By numbers is right. One poor nurse thought my sensor (self funded back then) was one of the ones that’d been stuck on pre op and I had to apologise profusely to her about the shriek when she made to rip it off. Sensors are too new a tech for most, and I suspect successful self-governing diabetes management is rare. Reform is needed!
Hmm, not sure about jelly babies, I have a temporary crown at the moment and was told to avoid sticky foods until the permanent one goes in this coming Thursday.
Mrs Urb brought me nuts and other snacks that I'm also trying to avoid at the moment. Nice thought but,,,
When I woke up yesterday with the 3.8, I was surprised to be presented with a bottle of Glucojuice in my favourite flavour.
