sometimes it is so hard to be strict all the time around carbs, so today I was tempted and remembered some candy actually stored and kept for my daughter, so ate around 220 grams of pure carbs in a row.... felt bad already before doing it, and still feel bad..So decided to measure my blood glucose to have the shock as a warning... and surprise 1 hour later only 6.9 mmol... weird don´t you think ?

my morning number today was high 6.2 ... wonder how high it will be tomorrow

the same... crazy... but I guess my morning number will be very high tomorrow..., but stopped eating after that for today... out of feeling guilty, now 4 hours later it is 5.4 mmol
 
Life can be quirky.
We think we will be punished in some way and find instead we got away scot-free!!
 
Sinned? Hardly........geez I thought you'd kicked a swan to death or something LOL

So what....you ate some sweets.......Don't beat yourself up over it just learn from it......if that was me my lesson would be not to store candy for the kids.......if you feel they deserve a treat then go to the shop's with them and get them together.....exercise and quality time?

Not as surprising as you might think. Sucrose is only 50% glucose. You’d probably see a bigger rise from eating white bread. As always with sugar, the silent killer of insulin sensitivity is the fructose which in itself doesn’t manifest as raised blood glucose.
 

Now say:
mea culpa, mea culpa,
mea máxima culpa.

Then 5 hail Marys and and an our father.

I absolve thee go and sin no more.



No use crying over spilt milk, just forget it and move on just be more careful in future.
