Man, I'm glad school finishes at 3.15 cos I am snoozy. No meetings tonight (staff meeting on monday, meeting woth the SEN teacher yesterday night then hour long bus ride) so here I am, back at a reasonable hour.
I am tired mainly because of a massive cock up I made on monday night. At 10 o'clock I injected myself before bed. I take my background insulin then which works really slowly overnight to keep me sugar down. Except that I didn't. i injected myself with 14 units of short acting insulin. this works on the carbs you've eaten and within two hours. for a meal of chicken, new potatoes and veg, i'd only take 4 units. This was such a huge amount that i got scared about how fast my sugar would drop. I rang the fabulous NHS direct who put me in touch with the out-of-hours doctor. He told me to eat a substantial amount of starchy carbs, check my sigar evry 15 mins or so and stay awake for at least the next two hours. I made myself a huge bowl of pasta and steven went out to get me some coca cola and some garlic bread. It was quite a feast to be having 3 hours after my last meal, but I managed it. I was knackered the next day though.
I feel very unprepared at school, some lessns are going well, others are not working at all. I need to do some research tonight to figure out what to do.
I had the best breakfast out the other day- fabulous eggs benedict with perfectly poached eggs, smoked ham and hollandaise sauce on toasted muffin.
