[QUOTE="chocoholicnomore, post: 237483, member: 37812"] I am only recently diagnosed and have been really strict with myself since diagnosis. The fright I got made sure of that :lol: Hb1ac went down from 9.5 to 6.8. However, Christmas has surprised me in an unusual way. It's my first Christmas since diagnosis and I have been a bit wary. Just before Christmas I ate some sweets at work and my BG levels didn't spike (see other thread) Over Christmas I recieved chocolate gifts from people who didn't know about my diagnosis ( I hadn't broadcast it). Those of you who know me by now will know that I have no willpower when it comes to anything chocolate :oops: I tried to pace myself but failed miserably. To cut to the chase I have been overeating since Christmas day-big time :crazy: and still polishing off left over sweets at work today!!! My BG levels are still in 5 or 6s :shock: :shock: Today when I came home it was 4.3 :shock: What I would like to know is: 1. Is this because I am only recently diagnosed and was really strict for last few months? 2. Or will all the glucose eventually build up and my BG level will shoot up suddenly? 3. Or, even though BG levels not shown as rising, could it still cause long term damage? 4. Or has my diabetes not developed enough/bad enough for the sweets to have an immediate impact? 5. Or am I just lucky and have "got away with it" I am really worried as I know it will be really hard for me to get back to the strictness I had before Christmas. Then I was terrified to eat anything because of the thought of what it could do to me but now, psychologically, I feel it is not "doing any harm". (Hope you understand what I mean) Is there anybody else experiencing the same sort of reaction? Any help/advice/opinions much appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
