Your diet and exercise should get you a lower HbA1c at next test.The only way you will know if eating chocolate and cake will raise your bgs is to continue testing.I have the occasional high carb/sugar treats too, which don't usually affect my readings too much. The danger is that one 'treat' can lead to another and I could let carb creep raise my bgs to diabetic levels again.After the initial shock at diagnosis I lost about 3 stone and reduced my HBa1c to 39. But becoming complacent and eating more carby stuff again my weight has crept up, and so has my bg readings.I am still 18 lbs below my weight at diagnosis, and my last HbA1c in October was up to 46, still less than the 47s I was getting before diagnosis. But I know I need to be careful not to go any higher.</blockquote>
