[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2471315, member: 355878"] This is the 5th Christmas after diagnosis - don't remember much of the first one to be honest, Atorvastatin and Metformin almost did for me, but the second one I tested after each Christmas dinner (two offspring, two dinners) and each time saw well under 7mmol/l so I knew I had it beaten. I have a fair number of low carb treats I could resort to - mulled custard tarts, tipsy trifle, and other things of a similar nature - alcohol enhanced versions of my ordinary desserts for days when I am not driving. These days I tend to go for salmon salad, truffle omelette, or various cheeses with freshly baked low carb crackers. I do have chocolate, 95 percent cocoa from Lidl, and sometimes make myself some chopped nuts, placed in little silicon sweetie moulds with melted chocolate drizzled over them until they are joined up. I even add a little crystalized ginger to some of them, after washing off the sugar and drying the cubes I slice thinly and mix into the nuts before adding the chocolate. For Christmas day I have been known to put a glace cherry in the mould to start with. There are always treats we can have - it is just a matter of picking which ones to indulge in. [/QUOTE]
