Stopped by Swedish to give K some strawberries, and found her complaining of low blood glucose symptoms. I remembered that I was concerned about that last night, as they gave her more insulin than I would have, but then I forgot. Got the nurse to measure ("we will soon, after shift change") NOW, and found it to be 45, godawful low, especially for being in hospital. Fed her the strawberries, while they looked for apple juice. Fifteen minutes later it was 40, but that's a normal delayed reading. We took bets on what the reading would be after 30 minutes, and K won, as it was 80, heading back up faster than I predicted.
Today is supposed to be the "safe measures" day... I interpret that as "can you just try to keep her alive, until she can start the procedure tomorrow with a normal blood glucose" day. Fail.
