Partial Stat Day:

AM Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1425
    Reading:  168
AM 60" Dig Temp:
    Not taken

PM Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2106
    Reading:  212
 

Medication Changes:
  • Because of unusually high BG and her request, in the afternoon about an hour before napping, for "some chocolate", which I gave her (two chocolate covered mint Ghiradelli squares), she received two extra glipizides: One when I gave her the chocolate and one in the evening before bed because of her unusually high evening BG and the very starchy dinner and high sugar dessert
  • She didn't drink her usual amount of liquid, today, although she got close, but her refusal included her usual cup of Detox tea every other night; I didn't fight her on this.
    Dinner:  Costco Chicken Pot Pie and a slice of lemon tart.
    Miscellaneous Note:  I'm not sure why her BGs are running so high. The obvious explanation would be the presence of infection, but other indicators don't seem to be pointing to this. It could just be a lack of movement, although she's moving a bit more over the last few days. We'll see how this plays out.
Sleep:
  • Awake at 1400
  • Down for nap at 1830
  • Up from nap at 2100
  • Down for night at 0030
  • Awake 8 hours
