Last year, being my first post-diagnosis Christmas, I tested frequently and kept a strict rein on my diet.
This year, I've shed all the weight I needed and, since my numbers are good, had a much more 'traditional' Christmas, foodwise.
Fasting 4.6 then; breakfast involved orange juice and chocolate croissants - 2 hours after: 4.5
Big turkey + all the trimmings (but no booze, had to drive later) rich pudding and a large handfull of both chocolate and choc biscuits after.
2 hours after: 5.4 (highest in 4 months) Snacked last night, lots of cheese and biccies.
This morning, 5.0 and after a modest lunch back down to 4.5
( no meds yesterday or today )
OK, I've had my Christmas fun - back on the wagon now - apart from those last few chocs in the box, calling plaintively to me....
Anyone else let fly at Christmas a bit - and how long to come back down again?
