BM Full Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1327
    Reading:  115
Blood Pressure:
    Not taken

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1941
    Reading:  115
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1939
    BP:  115/44
    Pulse:  56

    I simply forgot to take her blood pressure in the morning. Her evening blood pressure shows some dehydration. I had a devil of a time getting her to drink fluids today. I'm not sure why.
    She got a sweet roll, again, for breakfast, but it didn't seem to make much difference in her evening blood sugar, which is good.
    I served home made chicken soup (with home made stock) for dinner, loaded with vegetables and only a few noodles. I figured this would help hydrate her. She ate most of it, but on some days noodles tend to bother her and she rarely eats everything I put in front of her if it contains noodles.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1830: Fairly poor volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up. Once again, around 1600, just as she was heading in for a nap, she thought she had a bowel movement but didn't. Weird.
