Guilt

Had a bit of an accidental binge today - feeling so guilty

It happens. Don't waste your time feeling guilty. Take a few readings and see what the impact is, get some useful info from it. And carry on as you were.

Don't feel guilty, feel annoyed, that diabetes has tricked you into breaking your resolve. FIGHT BACK.

It happens to all of us occasionally. We are only human. I try to manage it by attempting to only binge on low(ish) carb things, such as Lindt 90% dark chocolate (even a whole 100gm bar is only 14gms of carbs) or on vintage cheddar cheese (virtually zero carbs). The only drawback is that both are highly calorific even though they don't hurt my blood glucose.

Don’t get stressed about it, we’ve all done it and will probably all do it again. You’ve had some good advice so I’ll not repeat it, I’m an emotional and stress eater and it is sometimes a struggle, having some safe foods to binge on in the house does help.

I go for cheese, sugar free jellies with cream, pork scratchings, egg mayo, I love cooked cold veggies and always have some in the fridge - they do have carbs but they are not disastrous.

I try not to but sometimes just a little bit of a snack at first craving can ward off a binge for me.

Oh dear, you must be... *Ghasp*... Human!

Blips happen, what matters most is what you do afterwards: give up, or get right back on the wagon?

....And it helps if it was thoroughly worth it.

It's definitely worth getting back on the wagon and also giving yourself a pat on the back for all the times you've looked after yourself well
