Today has gone well, I think. Stuck to the plan, even though the vegetables were really bland from out of the steamer, and the Uncle Ben rice is nowhere near as tasty as Savoury Rice (which is my rice of choice usually).

I'll try and make a soup with some of the veg tomorrow, since the diet sheet seems to suggest I can use stock to make soups.

I think the hardest bit has been drinking the required amount of water. I'm only a short person, and I'm not a big drinker even at the best of times, so getting through the liquid is difficult for me.

I had a scary moment where I had a bad taste in my mouth, and instantly tested my blood sugar, worried about ketoacidosis. As it turns out, a few moments later when I took another sip of my coffee, I realised I've very quickly grown to dislike the taste of it. That's good. It means I can stop drinking the stuff. Even last week, my diet was pretty delicate taste-wise to how it was before diagnosis, so I seems my tastebuds have adjusted. A nice side effect.
