Christmas excesses

[chefdee]

So how good were you over Christmas....this was my first Christmas taking Type 2 seriously, and I threw caution to the wind and ate what I wanted and drank what I wanted but I don't think I went over the top, I have been too nervous to test my blood so today I am back on track with a Very Low Carb diet and I will begin testing again on Thursday, no particular reason just a random day and a chance for my body to readjust , hope I haven't done to much damage , up until Christmas Eve my BS was low 8's after starting in October at 17, I was struggling to get under 8 and that was on a Very Low Carb diet, at my next appointment my DN will review my medication, so Low Carb and lots of walking for the next couple of months

I stuck to my usual regime over Christmas (this is my second Christmas with diabetes and I did the same last year). I wouldn't be able to switch off from worrying about my blood sugar if I ate "bad" food and I also feel lousy if it goes too high so for me it wasn't worth it to have a few "treats" but fair play to those who could

I had a roast potato with xmas dinner and a tiny portion of xmas pud. I was surprised how happy I was to leave the carbs off my plate

This is my first Christmas as Type 2 so I was quite cautious. I had one Yorkshire pud with dinner and a mince pie afterwards. Boxing Day fbg was 8.0 (my average is 7.2) and it's been going down gradually ever since. This morning it was 6.9 so I'm doing something right

Carbs!
What are they good for?
Absolutely nothing!
Say it again......

I didn't really have much more than my Christmas dinner with all the trimmings but I did keep to just two roasties and a glass of red wine I don't really drink but had the one as it was Christmas. I don't do desserts I didn't before diabetes never liked sweet stuff very much so I just had some cheese. I didn't test
Boxing Day lunch was at my daughters cold meats pickles with bubble and squeak That is a family tradition on Boxing Day we always have bubble and squeak with lots of different vegetables in it there is no way I would not have that

I was dreading Christmas, as it was the first one being type2. I was quite good Xmas day, I had
1 glass of champagne (dry) and 1 glass of dry white wine, that is basically all I can drink now, as
I get very thirsty. I had Turkey dinner with carrots/swede and 1 parsnip. Pigs in blankets and
Sausage meat. No spuds or gravy. No pudding, but then I did have 4 chocolates ( thorntons plain)
And my doc told me if I cheated on Xmas day I could have a metformin at T.Time, which I did.
2 hrs later I did a reading and it was 6.9 Which is still a bit high, but I'm sure it would of been
Higher without the extra tab. Boxing Day I decided not to have the extra tablet but had 2 glasses
Of wine and cold turkey leftovers. I again had 4 chocolates and 2 hrs later, my reading was 9.4
I have been a very good girl since Boxing Day, and I feel better too, not sluggish, or having stomach
Ache.
