Today's Stats:

Breakfast
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1018
    Reading:  109
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  Forgot to take it

    I was trying so hard to get Mom up, bathed, dressed and out the door for her blood/urine draw that I forgot to take her blood pressure. It was a fasting blood draw, so we had breakfast some time after noon.
    Administered two extra strength acetaminophen tablets with her breakfast this morning. Explanation in this report at the main site, to be posted within some few minutes.

Lunch
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1632
    Reading:  129
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1628
    BP:  108/50
    Pulse:  61

    Hooh...that's better. Exact same breakfast as yesterday, probably about the same shortened break between breakfast and lunch, nap between breakfast and lunch, blood glucose within Mom's normal range for lunch. I guess, occasionally, her body's cells just decide, "Ahh...what the hell, not interested in insulin today." At least it only happens once in awhile.
    Administered two extra strength acetaminophen tablets with lunch.

Dinner
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2023
    Reading:  87
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2022
    BP:  145/67
    Pulse:  55

    Administered two extra strength acetaminophen tablets with dinner. Hopefully, tomorrow we won't need these.
