Today's Stats:

Breakfast
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1217
    Reading:  134
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1218
    BP:  127/58
    Pulse:  61

    We're moving her back, again, from a late awakening and a mostly sleep day yesterday. As it turned out, she was headinginto the bathroom as I was headed in to awaken her. I think her blood glucose is still savoring the brownie from last night.
    Normal breakfast today, except we had home made 100% whole wheat bread. The weather is such that we'll mostly be using the bread machine, again, instead of buying ready made bread, until summer next year. She loves home made bread, so she had two slices. I'm curious to see what this does to her later day blood sugar readings. I suppose I could just go back and study last spring's readings. Maybe I will.

BM Lunch
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  Not taken
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1701
    BP:  121/53
    Pulse:  69

    Good, good, good. For lunch she had six green pimiento stuffed olives wraped in thin slices of honey ham and 8 oz lemon yoghurt with about 1.5 teaspoons wheat germ.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1650: Good volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up.

Dinner
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  Forgot to take it
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2056
    BP:  144/64
    Pulse:  59

    We'd just finished watching a good movie and in my surprise over her blood pressure I completely forgot to take her blood sugar. Oh well. I'm sure it's fine, although I was curious.
    We had leftover's tonight: A little curried beef with vegetables; a little mac & cheese with vegetables and meat; a little sauerkraut with polish sausage. Mom's still working her way through hers. She likes these kinds of meals and likes to make them last as long as possible.
