I'd like to have a small piece with him, to be part of his celebrations. And I was wondering what was the best way to go about it...I've been T2 diagnosed for about six or seven weeks now. I've changed my diet radically, lost a stone and four pounds and I regularly test in the 4s or 5s, so I feel quite stable at the moment. I don't eat any sugary stuff obviously - my sweet treats are strawberries. But now that I've got myself down to a decent level, and feel like maintaining it is going to be sustainable, I'd like to sneak in the odd treat here and there. Say a biscuit perhaps. Or a square of chocolate. But I don't know how to do it, in terms of timing, so I guess the birthday cake will be my first experiment.So when you have a sweet treat, do you have it with a meal? Or two hours after a meal after you've spiked and then returned to your normal level? Do you make sure you do a sudden bout of exercise afterwards? How and when do you have your sweet treat, and what do you have?Thank you.</blockquote>
