Good Morning, my lovely friends on the Type 2 Life thread of
http://www.diabetes.co.uk, today, Saturday 7th October 2017 Anno Domini at 4:33 Ante Meridian British Summer Time,
Yesterday, I had a lovely, constructive day, and my senior clinical psychologist from the Maudsley Hospital that specialises in challenging and concerning autism spectrum disorders, part of the Bethlem Royal Hospital ADHD and Autism Service, called Siobhan, has agreed, in the next three sessions of cognitive behaviour therapy for my Asperger Syndrome and the additional twelve sessions if she is successful in getting funding, will work on treating my fixation with my two friends Gary and Roger and how I tend to ruminate over or think about the hurtful comments they've made about my family. If I'm honest, I find that every time that someone makes an unkind or critical observational statement towards me, I always bring up my friends' Gary and Roger's negative behaviour and the impact it has on people around them, in my own altruistic and caring way, but it can incur great emotional dysregulation that eventually escalates into an autistic meltdown. Fortunately, the 'meltdowns' have largely been eradicated because I'm listening to Siobhan's advice about identifying my mood cycle so that I don't let it build up and build up until I reach sensory overload and explode. I've never been physically abusive with a 'meltdown' but I do tend to speak out of turn, swear, bang myself, rock back and forth and even dribbling and shout a bit and overturn furniture. This is something I'd like eradicated because it's affecting my friends and my elderly Dad whom I love very much.
Yesterday afternoon, I cooked a roasted shoulder of lamb, roasted potatoes with oregano, salt and white pepper and three-quarters of a cup of water and steamed leeks, steamed courgettes, steamed broccoli and steamed cauliflower. I put up meals for Ioanna and her friends Maria and Momo, being respectful of Momo's Islamic religion in eradicating the non-Halal lamb meat.
I had some, too, and failed on my LCHF diet by having quite an insurmountable amount of roasted potatoes but I'm going to resume the LCHF diet from this point on.
My blood glucose reading, now, is 7.4 Millimoles Per Litre, a price to pay for my abuse of the fab LCHF diet yesterday.
Lots of love from
