‘Diabetes is the beast within us that can show its fury’! Love that!
The fury certainly visited me yesterday. Who knew a basic salad and tuna could raise you nearly 10mmols Eventually needed 6 units to calm that particular beast. Don’t normally eat tea but on a Tuesday we eat about 11:30am with grandson so was a little peckish. Had tinned soup, 2 pieces homemade bread and some plums and creme fraiche. About 80 carbs. Took 8 units, kept a beady eye on that Libre. No real peak, stayed steady all night. A lovely 5.4 this morning. That’s the last time I eat a basically carb salad without injecting insulin first.
Have a good day all. It is lovely and sunny here, so we are ‘in blooming’ in the churchyard.
Though they were @porl69 ’s tea for a sec...![]()
The Evil D is plotting. I know this because it is behaving. I woke at 6.3 this morning which is very special after pasta last night. When Evil D does this, is lulls me into a false sense of security and then, when I am not expecting it, Wam! it will go hey wire.
I know, I should be pleased with the current value. I am but I am also suspicious.
Let's see what happens at the Spin vs Evil D battle later.
In other news, @WuTwo, when you wrote about coconut mushrooms, I thought of these
