BM Full Half Stat Day

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1426
    Reading:  181
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Not taken

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2138
    Reading:  165
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Not taken

    Now I'm beginning to get suspicious about her BG readings. Today has been an extremely normal day.
    Breakfast: Normal, except no O.J. for breakfast; only Detox tea.
    Lunch: V-8 juice with 1/2 tsp sweet curry powder (in the hopes that the tumeric will kick in and help lower her BG).
    Dinner: Four buffalo wings; about 3/4 cup heavily peppered cottage cheese; 10 pickled (without sugar) asparagus spears.
    All meds and supplements as listed except for yet another 10 mg furosemide about an hour before bed for slight fluid retention.
    Tomorrow, before her first BG stab, I'm going to do another control test on the new test strip reel I'll be using. I tested the box, as usual, when opening it, and the control test fell within the normal range. I'll be initiating the second reel from the box tomorrow.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred during her bathing, at about 1430: Very good volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; fairly easy clean-up.
