[QUOTE="grumpyoldgit, post: 314550, member: 48271"] First post from me since being promoted from Type 2 to Type 2 on Insulin but just wanted to share this story at which I'm still giggling. Hope you enjoy it reader... I managed to find a job in a Warehouse with a canteen which offers many meals to cater for the high number of East European members of staff - Poles, Slovaks, Czechs etc. This means that I can behave myself in keeping my Glukes controlled by choosing some delicious East European dishes for lunch, especially the salads, Nom Nom. Trouble is that salads aren't available on Saturdays so last Saturday I had to choose an alternative meal. Chicken Kiev, I thought chicken, breadcrumbs, garlic... all good stuff but the butter would be dodgy, risk it with veg,... did that,ate it. One hour later I checked my blood glucose and it read 15.5 against my target range of 3.3 to 7.0! naughty, naughty, must have been deep fried Chicken Kiev, oops. On returning to my work station I mentioned the high reading to my friend colleague, Jamie, who takes an interest in my diabetic condition. The following exchange ensued.... Jamie : Is that a problem then,, that reading? Me : Yes I must keep it lower than that or it's dangerous for me Jamie : Why what could happen? Me : well if I don't keep my blood glucise under control it could lead to heart problems, poor circulation, even a coma Jamie : what just from eating chicken? Me: The wrong type of chicken, yes Jamie : Yeah I've heard of that, Chicken Coma, had some from my local Indian two nights ago, didn't realise it was that dangerous...... :crazy: [/QUOTE]
