Introducing...... the monthly Cake Chart

Yes, I know most people call it a pie chart.  But I don't like pies.  Cake however is a different story.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm a Type 1 Diabetic.  This is a bit of a bummer.  In order to avoid nasty things like legs dropping off and eyes going funny (just to mention a couple of possibilities) I have to do what I can to balance everything that I eat (which is a lot) with just the right amount of insulin which I have to inject.  I have to do this every time I eat something (which is often) and sometimes when I don't.  Too much insulin and I have a hypo.  Too little and I have a hyper.  If I get it right my reward is to keep all of my limbs for a bit longer.

This is my cake chart of blood sugar readings for December;

Yes.  It is just a little bit pants.  But January's cake chart will be better, because I'm going to try really hard and everything.
