Thanks for your thoughts @DCUKMod, @Chook and @Antje77. Your thoughts are very helpful. Perhaps I should just totally ignore my diabetes nurse. She is the one who is alarmed by the high levels of insulin I am taking, and the one who recommends digestive biscuits and definitely NOT sweets or (horror of horrors, Lucozade). So - a rethink is in order.
Actually just realised that I am a bit short on the short acting insulin - I've used so much of it these last couple of weeks, so have sent in a rushed order for a repeat prescription. I should have enough to last for about 31/2 days - with any luck the prescription should arrive in 2.
FBG today 10.1. 11.4 by breakfast at 11 am (just after my cleaning lady phoned to say she couldn't come today after all, so I put everything back onto the floor and decided to eat - 2 rashers streaky bacon, 2 fried eggs and 2 Atkins crispbread (1.9 g carb each), after 44 units Humilin S.
3 pm - BG still 11.4 (must have got that right this time!) Had 2 more slices of the crispbread sandwiched with 2 more rashers of streaky bacon after another 44 units of Humilin S.
Later I will have some salad and one of the pickled eggs I made the other day - never tried pickled egg before, so it will be interesting. Will try another 44 units of Humilin S and see what happens.
Edited to add the bit about Lucozade.
Ann, just to say today is Friday. Will the 2 days still work out for you, over the weekend?
