Stats...

.
.
Sure takes a while, but... tired, moving slow.  BP was 120/86 with a pulse of 71.  I had to take it twice, but I know why.  And, yeah, it happens.  Blood sugar is 166.  I used medium insulin dose, which is about half what I have generally been using, to bring it down faster.  If that is around twice what a small dose is.  Well, and it has only been an hour or so since I ate.

When diabetes is more controlled, an hour is okay to test.  Usually.  When not well controlled, as now, an hour is pushing it.  I haven't been testing in the morning, and wont until the average is around 150 or less.  Because, until that mark, or a bit after, morning reads are the highest of the day and I don't consider them an actual good reading.  Until then, they are automatic outliers.  Still, getting there.  The average for the week is 161.  Though, that is without morning reads.  So, I'll probably wait until more like a 130 or less weekly average.

Chores were done.  Their water wasn't freezing.  Some of them were empty, or enough so to be changed, but not all.  I'll refill them this afternoon, and check again this evening.  For now, even if thawed, if they are thirsty and are drinking, I will refill and replace at their leisure.  Their food consumption has dipped, a lot.  Which is fine.  But I am keeping those rather full.

Hungry, though.  Terribly hungry.  I may... try to get to town.  Ugh.  A few calls, I hope, first.  I'd love a shower, but... maybe not.  It's so dark out there, and cool.  My brain is just having a hard time lighting off, though that has been true all week.  Work is a double chore when I can't seem to stay awake!  Later.
