Today's Stats:

Breakfast
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1123
    Reading:  106
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1123
    BP:  122/63
    Pulse:  59

    Everything looks good.

Lunch
Blood Glucose:
    Not taken
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1610
    BP:  119/64
    Pulse:  78

    Although this isn't classical high BP for her, I'm a little concerned and have a feeling she'll be high by evening.
    She had a very light lunch today, by choice. Today she's taking a rest from all the activity in the last few days and is mostly immobile or napping. This is fine with me, as we have day company coming tomorrow and she'll be moving around and walkering again. For lunch she had 8 oz non-fat, artifically sweetened yoghurt with a heaping teaspoon of wheat germ and a banana. That's all she wanted. She even refused V-8 juice, which she rarely does.

Dinner
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2102
    Reading:  223
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2107
    BP:  137/65
    Pulse:  64

    Her BG was savoring a thick, buttered slice of home made apple-pecan sweet yeast bread she decided she "needed" about an hour and a half before dinner. Since she hadn't had much lunch I figured, good, her appetite's coming back, and gave it to her.     I gave her two 2.5 mg lisinopril for dinner. Since we ate so late and I had a feeling she'd be slipping into bed around 2300 or before (I was right), I decided to give her the third pill with the second. We'll see how it shakes out in the morning.
    For dinner she had home made ham and bean soup and a hearty slice of wheat French bread grilled with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese.
    We're having day company tomorrow so it'll probably be a pretty high stat day, BG-wise, since we'll be going out to lunch. She'll be getting in some walkering, though, and will be up more than usual, which will be good.
