Mom’s Status: 2009-10-24
07:30 AM: Mom’s blood sugar: 189. Covered with 6 units insulin. She had four ounces of orange juice with her pills. She grumbled a bit about me waking her up so soon after she had fallen asleep. So I reminded her that keeping to a schedule is necessary for gaining maximum control over the blood sugar. She then brightened up quickly, took her meds and insulin, and nothing more was said. All is well again.
12:15 PM: Mom’s blood sugar: 181. Covered with 6 units insulin.
02:15 PM: The twins brought some salad, potato soup, and a wheat roll for Mom. Covered with 6 units insulin.
10:40 PM: Blood sugar: 164. Covered with 4 units insulin. She’s eating a low-carb salad so she shouldn’t need any more insulin to cover it.
