Diary February 2024, Wednesday 28th

 0,7 48 A very tiring morning so far. Jonathan catches his bus at 7:42 am. At 7:28 I suggested he should have his breakfast. He still had not taken his insulin. Jonathan needs to take his insulin 10 to 20 minutes before he eats. And prior to injecting him, he has to calculate his blood sugars so he knows how much insulin he needs to take with the carbohydrate level in the food he’s going to eat. If he injects himself in the stomach, he can eat as soon as 10 minutes after. If he injects himself in the leg, he has to leave it 20 minutes. So it’s 728, the soonest he can eat is 738. The bus leaves at 7:42. We don’t live at the bus stop. So obviously he also has to leave the house in time to walk to the bus. 

This morning he was sockless, so he hasn’t put any of the clean washing away and didn’t have any socks, so he still had to find socks. Also, he uses his blazer as a sort of walking locker. They do not have lockers at school. I emptied his blazer yesterday, so I could wash the foundation off it for him. That was still hanging up drying. So he also would have to find all of his bits from his blazer and refill his pockets which is an extensive exercise. He was also wearing a blanket over his fully clothed.

751. Jonathan’s blood sugars are 11.7 and steady. They have been steady at 11.7 for the past three hours.

Looking at the six hour picture, it would seem they became around 11 at four in the morning having risen there from about 5 at 3 in the morning. Telephone had a low of about two at 1 am. It looks as though he may have taken his insulin around 10 pm, but there was a small peak of about 12. Looking at the 24 hour picture, his sugars are between 17 and two.

7:55 am Jonathan is on the bus on the bus is approaching Colsterworth.

I worry that he has left, and he’s currently sometimes leaving with her, clean his teeth after breakfast. Jonathan has only had his adult teeth a couple of years more. They’re very good at the moment and I’ve always been very good about getting into the dentist. I worry that I was getting into the dentist is getting harder and his dental care is getting worse that the outcome will be far worse Than the consequence of his finding the tiny clean his teeth before he leaves for school .

0800 LinkedIn. Every morning I look for work at to keep my professional profile raised. I go through LinkedIn, and I’ll look at job vacancies too. I’m also giving some thought to being a soul trader or starting my own business. I wanted to use the name of had chosen four years ago, Bigg solutions. However, that is now taken and a website in this name exists, so I think this would cause confusion. I don’t like the name, but I am thinking of changing my company name to Dr Bigg. This will be trading in my own name, which doesn’t require any special registration. And it will use my current profile, as I’m known as Dr Bigg in the industry.  I’m going to try Canva and Poe, as for suggestions for this logo.

0806 am.  I’ll leave the dishwasher running and bring up some clean laundry from downstairs . I return to my computer, which I have left running since I woke up at seven, So it’s been on an hour. By 10 right now is to get my tax self-assessment sorted.
