I feel really happy this morning. From an administration facilitator called Charlotte at
www.diabetes.co.uk, I was the recipient of a parcel which was my One Touch Select Plus blood glucose monitor. It is a state-of-the-art device that informs one if their blood glucose is low, in-range or high. It also gives the reading in mmol readings, too. I set the time and date on it and chose the language of my country.
I saw one of my best, but slightly ambivalent, friends called Lee and he treated me to a full english breakfast to say thank you for always being there for him and for supporting him to go on a drug rehabilitation programme and maintain contact with his family and for myself teaching him ICT, which I am proficient at. For my breakfast, I consumed 2 rashers of bacon, 1 pork sausage, 1 medium-sized portion of fried mushrooms, 1 slice of fried tomato, 1 moderate portion of baked beans, 1 medium-sized fried egg, 1 slice of toast, 1 moderate portion of chips, and 1 Cafe Latte with no sugar. On my new monitor, my blood glucose was high - 10.7 mmol.
This is only a one-off and I really enjoyed myself with my friends Matthew and Lee at the cafe.
