This for the time period late evening to bedtime, and stretches through into the early morning hours of Saturday 19th March, 2016.

Supper:- Leftovers of close friend's ready meal which was going to be discarded of and I ate to avoid food waste and it consisted of a very miniscule amount of minced beef hotpot which comprised ground beef, sliced potatoes, peas, carrots, some glucose, some sodium and flavouring. This was followed nearly almost afterwards by a ready meal all to myself which comprised a cottage pie from Iceland Budget Supermarket which comprised ground beef, flavouring, mashed potato, some glucose and some sodium.

2 glasses of tap water.

Afternoon.

1 mug of tea with 2 Tetley Round Teabags, a little bit of Nido Milk Powder and 4 Hermasetas mini artificial sweeteners.

1 small cup of tea with 1 Tetley Round Teabag, Coffeemate and no sugar.

8 glasses of tap water.

Dinner:- Roast Chicken breast slices, sage and onion stuffing, button sprouts, cauliflower florets and gravy made from 9 teaspoons of Bisto gravy granules, chicken juices and vegetable water.

Blood glucose reading at 6: 38 pm:- 6.8 millimoles per litre.
 
Breakfast: couldn't quite stomach another bacon n egg breakfast so I settled for 2 spoonfuls of cottage cheese and a plum. And coffee of course which I am now having with cream these days. So many changes now to what , when and how I eat but if it's going to keep me well and healthy, I'm all for it.

Great call on the low carbs and no sugar
 
What an indulgent weekend. Sat breakfast was sausage, egg, mushrooms and toast, lunch was battered fish with baked beans and bread and butter (bread and butter! The joys!) whilst dinner was beer as my wife and I hit the mean streets of Bangkok and clubbed until the now shockingly late time of 1:00 am! FBG was a surprising 4.2.
Today was no better as breakfast was chicken with ginger and bean sprouts, chicken with bamboo and a mound of rice (yay! Rice!). Lunch was again battered fish, beans and buttered bread but tonight there will be no dinner for me.
Tomorrow I will once again board the (no) gravy train and face the day with po-faced alacrity but, my, it was splendid whilst it lasted.

Lazy Sunday so watching the intake ... Greek yogurt for breakfast and tomato soup and fruit for lunch. Haddock mornay for tea methinks.
 
Sunday 20th March, 2016.

Afternoon and early evening.

3:58 pm:- 1 slice of double cheeseburger deep pan pizza with melted cheese, ground beef and complex carbohydrate in the dough base.

4:30 pm:- Another slice of the above.

5 glasses of tap water.

2 mugs of tea with 2 Tetley Round Tea-Bags, a little Nido Milk Powder and 4 Hermasetas mini artificial sweeteners.

4:53 pm:- Blood glucose reading:- 10.1 mmol but I'm hoping to decrease it by hydrating myself with tap water.

Elevated blood glucose may be precipitated by the amount of Old Holborn hand-rolled cigarettes I have ingested as nicotine is renowned for raising blood glucose. I have smoked approximately 14-15 Old Holborn hand-rolled cigarettes today.
 
Breakfast - almond milk smoothie with carrot, flax seed & greens
Lunch - courgetti, pesto & grated cheese; oatmeal with apple and almond milk
Dinner - two fish fingers; homemade lentil & leek soup & grated cheese
