Today's Stats:

Breakfast
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1152
    Reading:  108
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1156
    BP:  150/76
    Pulse:  54
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  Not taken
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1208
    BP:  133/59
    Pulse:  58

    First BP taken upon arising, as usual, while she was still sitting on her bed. Second BP taken while she was sitting in the bathroom awaiting bathing.

BM Lunch
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1624
    Reading:  185
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1622
    BP:  118/63
    Pulse:  55

    Whoa! Not quite sure why her blood sugar was so high, although she didn't begin eating breakfast until about 1230 and lingered over it, especially the orange juice, for almost an hour. As well, the wheat bread slice I toasted for her, today, was from a pretty dense loaf I'd made. She didn't nap between breakfast and lunch, though. Staying up usually lowers her blood sugar. I guess it's just one of those occasional blips that I can never explain.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred between 1330 and 1400: Easily eliminated, excellent consistency, fair volume, which is to say good but less than normal. Very easy clean-up, which has been true, lately. The stickiness and magnetic quality of her shit seems to be subsiding, which is good, which bodes well for fewer UTIs.

Dinner
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2043
    Reading:  106
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2042
    BP:  118/56
    Pulse:  66
