[QUOTE="Mrs T 123, post: 2385914, member: 526020"] Yes, sometimes I am pleasantly surprised too at what I can get away with - at Christmas I have been known to steal a few normal chocolates if they are around and yes I check my BS and its a lot better than what I expected and I sometimes wonder if it kicks my sluggish whatever in to working again - but day to day I stick to my 85% or 90% Lindtt dark chocolate. Tbh I have not even had pasta since being diagnosed so don't know what would happen. A couple of slices of pizza, I get away with but I don't think I could even stomach (now 5 stones lighter) a full one these days as I did regularly before the big D. Again, I have had the occasional potato without much effect and chippie fish & chips once or twice a year (sometimes yes I am defo diabetic and other times again pleasantly surprised) but as I said before it is always at the back of my mind about a couple of people achieving remission once but not a second time so that's what keeps me on the straight and narrow most of the time...and I am too much of a feardy to chance it ... Edited to add - when we are out for a meal (good old days pre covid) I ask for an extra spoon and have a spoonful of my hubby's cheesecake - too hard for me to resist - again small amount doesn't affect me - my hubby has such a sweet tooth he would never cope with the big D - and yes he has been checked and his BS are fine ...
