Hi @ Karen and Sobo82 you could start a club, or a guilty treat thread we all have them would be interesting to see what others have! Mine last night was a gin and tonic 1 packet plain crisps and a tiny green and blacks chocolate,not had any of these for months and has I was feeling like a piece of chocolate I had one,then hubby came in with the crisps so I had that too and you need to wash it down with something hence the gin and tonic! Haha was good though! And not done much to BG readings 5.8 this morning,Oh and not forgetting the meds I'm still on! K

Hi NewTD2 we are all different some like being in the 4s but I'm happiest in the 5s but I've been type2 for 17+ and when I go into 4s it gives me a false hypo, also if you Drive are you aware DVLA. say you should not be lower than 5 now this could be if your on insulin or other BG lowering meds. But I would rather be safe than sorry,I'm just diet controlled Has I think are you, anyway just a little more reading for you to check out what DVLA says on driving! K

I’m not sure if my indiscretion counts as a guilty pleasure but I had a jacket potato with butter and cheese

Hope you enjoyed it, and if it's not pushed your BG up too high at least then you will know that it's something you can tolerate? K

It is only if you are on glucose reducing medication, if on only metformin or are diet controlled then it does not apply.

I make my own peanut butter takes five minutes easy to do.

5.8 this morning - does happy dance I’ve made the decision that I don’t want this cold anymore or for it to head towards bronchitis. Let’s wait and see whether my body listens to me head - if only it was that simple

Usually when I get a cold it goes to bronchitis every time this time however I seem to have gone straight to bronchitis without the intervening cold.
