No excuse I suppose but feeling ill

[HEG]

I had a cold this week! getting fresh veg etc and no taste the carbs have gone up. Feeling sorry for myself now after giving in to a Macdonalds complete with chips (something that I loved pre diagnosis) brought home by my son. Now feeling guilty with a result of 14.5! Not sure if I need a hug or telling off for breaking a good dietary habit.

Your being too hard on yourself. Relax, it's good to cut loose every now and then and take a bit of the forbidden fruit. Although I'm more of a KFC man myself..

Have a hug anyway, hugs are good, AND free!

You need a hug! This isn't a terrible thing as long as it is only a one-off. Your son needs a bit of a telling off for tempting you and sounds like you need the have 'the talk' about the consequences of uncontrolled diabetes.

You're good, no long-term probs. Your attitude is first class.

A smack on the hand and a hug
Falling off the waggon once in a while will do no lasting harm and a little bit of what you fancy now and then isn't a major crime.

Hi heg if we didn't have a treat now and again life wouldn't be worth living no harm done I'm sure .hope you feel better soon

Aww, sending you a hug. We all need to be a little naughty sometimes.
I'm being ultra good at the moment as we're off to Spain for 10 days in May and I'm planning a few naughties then I can't not have an ice cold San Miguel ! or melon at breakfast.
I've got a hospital check up the day after we come back so I'll have the blood test done before I go

Hi @HEG , have a hug! Happens to us all. We're human as well as diabetic!

Don't beat yourself up about it - there's no need. Today's another day - just crack on!

Thanks guys it was a down sort of stuff it moment and the hugs are lovely. If you see my other threads my husband is just diagnosed and I'm trying to set a good example but with the cold (feeling much better today) my husband was giving me the so the veg doesn't help look.

He's trying but he has never been a veg man apart from chips! Some of what I advise is getting through. He has given up sandwiches for salad bowl, water instead of red bull. He was told he has a fatty liver so he is giving up/ reducing alcohol. Cuts Down salt as he has kidney stones so a lot to contend with. So I get a cold and fall apart made me very guilty.

So thanks again, I'm glad I have a place to just say how I feel. X

As a compromise, there are alternatives like Lidl high protein rolls (see numerous threads on the forum!) , and lots of low carb bread and bun recipes and even some easy bake bread mixes available. They may not be quite the same as "real" bread but they can fill a gap!

eggplant chips, wow, what do you plant the eggs in

It might seem an odd combination, but a large beefburger with onion rings plus a Lidl protein roll full of coleslaw and salad leaf is quite a decent meal.
