Breakfast: Soda scone with ham. Coffee. 2nd meal will be more of the chickpea rice and veg with a sausage cut up through it.

Breakfast: Croque Monsieur (kind of) on a low carb soda scone. Coffee. 2nd meal will be chickpea pasta with some veg stirred through. Alistair went to have his annual check up with the local GP and has been told by one of the older GPs at the practice to stop eating carbs! Not because of BG...

I've been living on pork and beans for the last couple of days but that's all gone now - the last for my 2nd meal, as well as my first meal, today. Lots of coffee. BG has been up and down quite a bit during the day but nothing too drastic - below 10 all day.

Breakfast: Cauliflower cheese on top of a couple of RyVita. Coffee. 2nd meal: I got a packet of pork and beans out of the freezer yesterday, but it is still frozen. May have to chisel off a chunk to reheat.

7.9 at 02.45 today. Up and down a bit but not too bad after that. Not quite so cold today.

Breakfast was stir fried veg with a couple of fried eggs on top. Coffee. 2nd meal will be roasted cauliflower cheese. I meant to say, about the koftas that I made. I'd run out of onions, which I would normally add to mince to make koftas (the last 2 in the cupboard were rotten on the inside)...

8.8 at 02.45 today. In the 6's now. I couldn't get warm yesterday, despite 4 layers. Maybe the layers were too thin. Very cold earlier on today as well. Ended up in my heavy winter dressing gown and a blanket over me, right up to my shoulders, in the big chair, to get warm. I do have a bit...

I don't think I posted yesterday but my 2nd meal was koftas made with some pork mince. I'd made them to use up some pork mince out of the freezer the other day. So I had some of the ones that were left over for breakfast today. One of the pots of soup for 2nd meal, I think. Probably chicken...

8.3 at 02.45 this morning. The (presumed) inflammation that has been travelling around my body has moved on from my right foot and ankle to my back, and is seriously painful. Having to take more painkillers than I can usually get by with. Makes it manageable but not good. I did some potting up...

Breakfast: soda scone with cheese. Coffee. 2nd meal will be one of the low carb pasta things we have in the cupboard with onions and peas. Neil thought he'd try tinned garden peas to see if he can tolerate them - he can't tolerate fresh or frozen but, sometimes things in cans are OK for him...

6.4 at 03.45 today. In the 5's at the moment. The plumber should be arriving in about an hour and I'm organized ready for him. Makes a change not to be running around like a headless chicken at the last minute. EDIT: He arrived at 08.30 and is currently installing a new cubicle. The shower...

Breakfast was rather late today. I was up in good time, showered and ready to go out in good time. Put a low carb soda scone in the oven for my breakfast and .... fell asleep, waking with minutes to spare before we had to go to town for my appointment. Finally got my breakfast at 1pm. It was...

5.3 at 03.45 today. Leg day today. Not sure how I woke up sufficiently, but I was in the shower by 07.00. Just breakfast and pills to have and I'm ready to go. Already on my second lot of painkillers and my second cup of coffee. We have decide to start looking around for a new freezer - one...

Breakfast: The avocado was still rock hard so I decided to grill it. Added a few slices of apple and some chunks of melon to the grill and then strips of that Polish ham mixed with the result. Everything was improved by association. 2nd meal will be the rest of the fish chowder from...
