Today's Stats:

BM Breakfast
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1152
    Reading:  107
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1156
    BP:  124/58
    Pulse:  56

    Everything looks relatively good. Her systolic is a touch high, but the lisinopril at breakfast should take care of that.
    Her Bowel Movement awoke her. She was done with it by the time I noticed it was 1130 and headed in to awaken her. She was already in the bathroom evacuating: Fair volume, excellent consistency, very easy elimination, very easy clean-up.

Lunch
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1624
    Reading:  151
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1624
    BP:  129/50
    Pulse:  55

    Not sure why her blood sugar is so high. Breakfast was normal and she's been up since then. But her blood pressure looks relatively good. We'll see how it reads at dinner. We won't be doing exercises or walkering today. Maybe that has something to do with her high blood sugar, but, we're not really on a routine yet.

Dinner
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1951
    Reading:  81
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1950
    BP:  134/61
    Pulse:  54

    Although everything was fairly good, I decided to retake her blood pressure later in the evening, in case she needed a third lisinopril before bed.

Before Bed
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  Not taken
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2210
    BP:  174/77
    Pulse:  54
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  Not taken
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2214
    BP:  172/78
    Pulse:  54

    I took her BP twice because I was alarmed. This, in connection with her feet and belly swelling, caused me to give her not only a third dose of 2.5 mg lisinopril but 20 mg furosemide before bed. My consideration of the causes of this are covered in the last post for this date at The Mom & Me Journals dot Net.
