BM Varied Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1309
    Reading:  129
Lunch Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1817
    BP:  124/64
    Pulse:  64

    For dinner I gave her a choice of chicken/Parmesan ravioli with tomato/basil marinara or Canadian ham and Jarlsburg Swiss cheese sandwiches on sourdough with mustard and V-8 juice. She chose the latter. I was pleased. It was my yen for Jarlsburg and Canadian ham that led to this sandwich interlude in our diet. I'm considering a Cobb Salad tomorrow with both ingredients. Every once in awhile I just have to have Jarlsburg Swiss and after awhile of Mom's favorite hams, all sweet, I have to remind myself of what merely smoked ham tastes like.
    Bowel Movement occurred at 1520: Fairly good volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up. It surprises me every time I find myself boosting her Benefiber® and discovering that the newly adjusted dose is exactly what she needs. I'm wondering what dose she'll be taking when she plateaus.
