Woke at 4am, couldn't get back to sleep, mooched around the house and discovered half a box of chocolate brandy liqueurs left over from Christmas. Experienced a total loss of control and scoffed the lot. :sorry:
Went back to bed. Tested at 7am. 9.2.
I am deeply ashamed... :sorry::sorry::sorry:

Oh @debrasue weve all been there ... Had moments of going through my food cupboards recently thinking there MUST be chocolate in this house like a deranged animal! It happens, please don't be ashamed. You are a good, in control diabetic (ok usually ;)) so deserve a break once in a while x

I thought pepsi max was sugar free? It says no sugar on the bottle. Would I be better with diet coke.
Sugar free @mick180 . Unsure whether it stimulated glucogen release thou. Brain thinks its sugar (sweetners). If in doubt just drink none sweetened drinks. Although I have occasional sugar free fizzy drink.

Good Morning! Back to my usual figures with 6.4 at 0800 today.
But I shouldn't have had the two very sweet liqueurs they gave me in the bar last night, will decline next time (if I'm sober).

Completely unexpected 6.9 today. Max 40g carbs yesterday (closer to 30 I think), but no time to swim or exercise Saturday/Sunday. Maybe that's the key? Sometimes wonder if I'll ever get this right :banghead:
