Yesterday I was trying to keep track of BG throughout the day to see if there was a pattern emerging. FBG was 8.4 and I started my food day at 9.30 with 34 units of Humilin S and some of the Tesco Ardennes pate - just because it was there (I realised when I looked at the Tesco site that it included tapioca flour and potato flour and contained 5+ g carb per 100 g. Tapioca flour is usually not a good idea for me, but doesn't seem to have had any ill effect - not much of it there I suppose.) I had about 100 g of it.
That put BG up to 10.9 by 10.30 and 12.0 by 11.45 but it did drop again and by 4 pm it was 6.7. At 5.30 I had 3 eggs scrambled with butter - again after 34 units of Hum S. Then recording BG went wrong a bit because Em decided to call in on her way home from school but by 8 pm it was 7.1. I had a piece of 85% choc (unusual for me, but I thought I would try it). Result? BG 10.0.
Not sure that there is a pattern there at all.
Anyway - today I have 2 chicken legs in the oven roasting and will have at least one about 3 pm. I also have some calf's liver on standby in case I get too hungry later - just eating meaty things seems to do that to me. FBG was 7.3 and I'll continue to check frequently when I do eat.
The Kangoo is on its last wheels. A mechanic checked it and advised that it won't pass its MOT next month so no point trying to fix the alternator. It's done well, poor old thing and will likely end its days on the croft as a mini greenhouse. Unfortunately, we were also advised, when the Scenic went in for its service, that we should replace the back tyres, they aren't worn but the rubber is cracking around the walls - they're pretty old as well. We were digesting this information and this morning went to the shops and got a puncture in one of the said rear tyres! Decision made - straight to the tyre workshop and had 2 new rear tyres put on and got them to reseat one of the front ones as well, which has been losing pressure. Pretty expensive month this, bearing in mind that the cold weather meant our oil supply ran out earlier than usual so the tank has to be filled asap. Still, all should be in working order for a little while and, at least, I can not renew tax on the Kangoo and not pay for it to be MOT'd. Ought to get something back on the insurance as well, - every little helps!
