Hi everyone!
It's been almost three weeks and things have gone really well. I've become a finger-pricking champion and the changes to my diet have meant my blood sugars have been under 8 most of the time I've tested for the last week! (hooray!)
The missus and I will be celebrating some work-related good news in a week or so and I'm really hoping to celebrate with a slice of cake. How bad of an idea is this? I tend to be an all or nothing kind of gal and I'm sufficiently scared of being ill that I don't want to harm my progress. But - I feel like a bit of cake probably won't kill me?
Any advice anyone has for how to navigate celebrations would be wonderful. For reference I'm veggie so it's not like I can substitute with a nice steak!
Thank you!
