Strange couple of days with eating to match.
Yesterday my mum was very under the weather and we thought she was probably brewing a UTI so we called GP ii. The Gp at first thought she’d had another stroke, and called an ambulance, but after taking a urine sample agreedcwith us that it was UTI and he cancelled the ambulance and prescribed anribiotics. Within 10 mins of taking the frat dose, my mum had an allergic type reaction to the antibiotic, which the hospital doctors think had interacted badly with another of her meds
Much of yesterday was taken up with things around those events so food took rather a backseat, and my menu consisted of
1 bowl of heba pap porridge, some smoked salmon, 1 Adonis cocoanu bar and a couple of soya milk cappuccinos for a grand total of 552 cals 12g carbs, 21g fibre
As I may well have to go up to mums once shes out of hospital, I had to bring my fasting blood tests forward ( Diabetic review beginning of Jan) so went to bd hungry and a little low ( for a gliclazide user) - 4 6 , woke up several times hungry but not hypo and 4.5 this morning - fine but too low to drive to hospital so had to take the bus only to find Id left the forms at home so had to go back( luckily hospital is v near)
Todays menu so far has been a case of “grab what seems ok” so over the last couple of hours has involved amoked salmon, smoked almons, dark chocolate, blacberries, coconut yogurt and some grilled artichokes - not together and nothing resembling a meal, but at least Im not starving hungry anymore
The most annoying bit is that even having eaten nothing and taken my meds before going for the blood tests, my nice 4.5 had changed into a not so nice 6.6 by the time I had the blood draw done
