6 Shortbread biscuits???? I'm speechless...oh Ally was it worth it.? I can understand you are missing your favourite sweets cakes and biscuits. But 6 pieces of shortbread? How high did your readings go?
 
Wow that is even more adventurous than me. Shall we start a book on @ally1 number at two hours. I reckon 15 but still rising
 
6 is excessive, even if you are not a diabetic- which you are. I won't say beat yourself up about it, but you must know that you can't expect to lose weight or lower blood glucose levels with this sort of blow out. Sadly it isn't enough to be good a few days a week at this stage- when you have shifted some weight, you might gain some flexibility in what you can have as an occasional treat but for now try and do as Bluetit says- people can be understanding and it is an opportunity to help them with their health too.
 
If it were me, I'd be comatose. Never was a fan of shorbread or biscuits greatly. I'd have to hope for a neighbour forcing jacket spuds on me.
 
I even find sweetener in my tea too sweet these days so started drinking it without and really enjoying it too. ...
Seriously I would worry about the kind of levels all those biscuits would do to me.. I know id feel really ill
 
2 hours since @ally1 posted - I expect she has fallen asleep because her levels are so high.. Come on ally dont keep us in suspense
 
I say 14.9
 
well i was very surprised, i ate the biscuits at 3pm and at 6.30 pre tea 11.9, post tea 13
 
Good to hear from you Ally. Glad you sound okay. Time to put the radio on and do lots of dancing round the kitchen and drink plenty of water to flush the sugars through your system, before the others here get you to sit in the corner to write out your lines!
 
I'll tell you what Ally...you were brave and honest to post about the biscuits...I think you know now that you just can't eat them and expect your readings to stay down...but hey. Tomorrow is the start of a new week and hopefully a more supportive neighbour when you tell her you are trying to lose weight and stay healthier...
 
i was expecting my readings to be higher
time to do the housework
 
allie, i have found it to be honest
if i hadn,t, then i wouldn,t have posted my readings for the night
