Guilt

[jeanie99]

i am pre diatbetic have been for over two years now.
I know the foods more or less that raise my blood sugar and avoid them.
It's a balancing act though because I am not overweight size 12 and doc says I need to keep at about 9 stone and a half, my last 3 month blood test was 42 which is just pre diabetic.

My diet is not adventurous quite plain but I manage and still enjoy food but I am on holiday at the moment and although I very rarely eat deserts the hotel as the most wonderful cheese cake home made and to die for.

I have enjoyed two serving over the last 10 days and feel such an idiot risking my blood sugar rising to unacceptable levels. I don't have my meter with me so don't know but it's got to be high.

I guess most members are tempted when on holiday, it's very difficult to stay on the strict diet when not at home.

There is typically 20-25% carb in a good tasty cheesecake.

Not sure what a pre-diabetic or type2 can do if not having oral medication/insulin.

But please stop feeling guilty. Nothing wrong with desires or living them out.
We only live once and also need some pleasures in life. Including great food.
Personally I would take 2 units Novorapid 30 minutes before enjoying my cheesecake.

Enjoy your cheesecake you are on holiday, its how you eat most of the time that matters. Try not to stress out and might I add well done, if it was me I would most probably have had more than two slices.
