Currently On Holiday

[bigsi1984]

Hello,

I'm away for a week at the moment. Lovely weather and getting some much needed relaxation.

I've been diagnosed for a little while and made some big changes. I wasn't sure how to handle the holiday really so I took the following approach:

No regular testing (usually 7 to 8 times a day) I've been testing when I wake up and when I go to bed.

My logic is that of those numbers are creeping up I'm eating too many carbs.

What do you think? Sensible or not?

I've been mainly eating scrambled egg and bacon for breakfast and for lunch and dinner whatever meat they have with a bit of veg. The killer treat has been the amazing slices of pizza they have!

Drinks wise I don't do a lot of alcohol generally so have had a couple of beers but mostly coke zero and red wine of an evening.

Does anybody know how quickly your body will revert, like can I undo all the good I've done in a week?

Thanks

You won't undo the good you have done in the past. That is now history and when your blood sugars were low, you weren't damaging your body.
I think you know what you should and shouldn't be eating. Yes to your breakfast and lunch/dinner choices, no to the pizza. Can you risk a small amount of damage to your body - depends on how far down the road you have already gone. If you have significant complications to recover from, I would be strict.

I usually get quite stressed about food choices when I'm away. Last time there was a wide selection so I was okay; but the time before they had two donut choices for breakfast, fruit in syrup and cakes. Not much else. Avoid beer and pizza and try to relax and enjoy it.
