Love everyone's views on it and fair play to every single one of you! I had a half sod it attitude. Ate chocolate in moderation. Higher bolus for meal and my glass of Asti. Whenever my sugars were high I tried not to beat myself up about it. Randomly had a hypo after breakfast this morning...

I'm going to bolus for the naughty treats! I know Christmas dinner isn't actually that carb heavy! I'm going to try my best to relax and enjoy!

Merry Christmas diafriends! So who is relaxing and going for it with food and who is going to be good? I'm torn!

It sounds like you are dealing with some anxiety issues here. Depression and anxiety are very common in us diabetics and the feelings you have are totally normal. I was getting a similar anxiety issue (not about driving but I had the tight chest and feeling like I had forgotten how to...

I understand that cold weather raises your BGL. I get really cold feet. Us diabetics do tend to suffer with circulation issues like that I believe. I'm no expert so please correct me if you know more!

Ok. How sudden did it come on for you? I've noticed that my BGLs are getting higher after meals. Also rising overnight on occasion. A tiny snack can send them up. I'm wondering if this is the start

Hi all, What are the signs of the honeymoon period ending please? TIA

Thanks that's really helpful. I inject my levemir at 10pm too so that makes sense.

Hi everyone, My DSN recommended I test my BGLs at 3am for a while. I have since noticed that they rise by about 1-2mmols between bedtime and 3am. Not massively high - the highest being 9.7mmols. Then drop by anywhere up to 3mmols by the time I wake up. Is this normal? TIA

Hi all, Apparently these two conditions can come hand in hand. I have both. Anyone else? I'd be interested to see.

Keep us posted on what your DSN says. I would be interested to know. Good luck x

lol I've been guessing my doses for these bad treats which is NOT good! But sometimes it really is hard to tell with things like buffets

Ah thanks guys your comments have helped me feel better!

So today I've had a Chinese buffet for lunch and chocolate this evening. I've somehow managed to keep my BG below 9 all day. But feeling guilty!

Yes I believe it can be linked to high blood sugars. My hands get cuts in them and go so raw in winter. Doesn't help that I'm a PE teacher too! Bleugh!

Ok thanks everyone

Ok. I have lactofree milk which my dietician said is really low on sugar so I doubt it was that. So as you said it must have been a delayed rise. Thank you

Hi, Do sweeteners increase bg levels? Yesterday evening my bloods were 7.6 2 hours after my meal. I had a cup of tea with a sweetener in it. An hour later I tested before going to bed and saw that my bloods had increased to 8.2. Would it have been the sweetener that did it? TIA
