We're looking forward to going away for a few days, but in the absence of any monitoring equipment for T's BG, we're not really sure how much he can push it with his diet if we eat out a lot. Since he had really been trying hard before his fingerprick test and it still came up as 13.9 mmol, then I don't think he can really push it too far.
We will have a kitchen in the lodge, so we can cook a few of our meals to make sure it's not too bad. I don't think it's worth getting the urine stick things because he's likely to be over 10 mmol and we'd then know that he was, but have no idea how far over. We think that would be more of a worry than a help.
At least there will be plenty of exercise and relaxation, hopefully in an enjoyable ratio!
Perhaps I am shorter tempered than usual, but people have been driving me mad today. In fact, while I have been trying to type this post, T has been in and out of the lounge asking question after question after question. Sometimes I can't get through a single train of thought for such a long time because people just won't leave me alone. Perhaps it's me though - like when you're tired and read the same sentence over and over because you fall off it somewhere along the line.
This year I have graduated, returned to work after maternity leave, changed job function, gone through a redundancy process, searched for another job, interviewed, been offered a job, found out that my husband has a chronic, life changing disease. It's only July for the love of god, and I need a bit of a break.
