That's one thing I'm glad not to have to suffer anymore: eating so much chocolate and other junk that I feel sick and queasy. Crazily I did that for years and not just at Christmas.
That for me is preferable to the sluggishness felt after the overindulgence of the past that tended to go on at least until 2nd January.
Oh Dear.....seems as if I've (Unintentionally) upset one or two members.
Maybe I should have mentioned that the last 10 years out of the 40
that I have been and still am Type 2 have been spent in Spain where I
moved to in 1968.
I trust my Diabetic Nurse implicitly .....I was allocated to her when I registered
on the Spanish NHS and deal with no one else,,,,,,,the same thing happened
when I was allocated my Lady Doctor and deal only with her as well.
They work in conjunction with each other and between them they give
the best treatment and advice I could hope for.
Yes.....I do realise everyone is different and therefore have different reactions
and their own opinions ....I can only speak as I find........Personally.
You weren't the only one! I have no self control if such things are in the house and once a box of chocolates was opened it would shortly disappear and not just the ones I liked either. Yes I even ate the coffee creamsThat's one thing I'm glad not to have to suffer anymore: eating so much chocolate and other junk that I feel sick and queasy.

I liked your comment not because you were in pain but because you are looking after yourself. You aren't being a grumpy puss but you are setting yourself up to being well and able to enjoy company and not having a raging sugar hangover.I dread christmas every year being type 1 diabetic and insulin depedent. I see my uncle how is type 2 stuff his face with all the sugar and carbs he can then he wonders why he does not feel well stupid . Im boycotting it this year and spending it on my own with a tuna salad and a tall glass of what for it !!!!!! Water . Sorry for being a grumpypuss but just found out i have low bone density after breaking 3 of my toes my foot and my leg just by going for a walk didnt even fall over just put my foot down and its snapped ouch lol
Thankyou mrs vimes i actually really enjoy my tuna salads so are you type 1 or 2 ?I liked your comment not because you were in pain but because you are looking after yourself.

lol. Every cloud!My hubby has just said to me: 'At least I won't have to queue up in Thornton's this year!'
I'm type 1 living with a type 2. Lchf suits us both. He does as he's told. At first he was all 'I might as well live on fresh air' but when he started feeling better and realised what we could eat he got stuck in.Thankyou mrs vimes i actually really enjoy my tuna salads so are you type 1 or 2 ?
The ******! Lol.My hubby has just said to me: 'At least I won't have to queue up in Thornton's this year!'
Wow I am impressed with your results, well done, I hope to get good results in the new year, I am just reading blogs to get ideas and inspire me, yours has. I will revisit blogs after xmas I am going to have my last blow out christmas first:/Hi Copey, I started the same kind of thread last year as it was my first Xmas as a diagnosed Type 2. As I've done well (so far) on my blood sugar control, I plan to have a few potato treats this year. I've completely lost my appetite for sweet things so won't be touching any desserts out of choice. But I'm going to have a couple of roast spuds and stuffing and the same as last year, I'll get on the treadmill an hour later for a 10 walk and watch the blood sugars come right down!
I am more relaxed this year but not so much that I make foolish choices. I have a dear colleague who eats high carb after high carb then gets disillusioned that her hba1c is so high. I'm glad (actually relieved) that I have such incredible restraint and am not sure where it comes from!
For any newbie, I'd suggest a slight pig out if you can get moving around soon after to lower the effects of the carbs. Also, only pig out if you're sure you can break the spell soon afterwards. I gave up chocolate as soon as I was diagnosed as I knew from experience that I'm a chocoholic. One taste and I'll be back in it's thrall. So no chocolate for me ever again and these days, I'm not even sorry.
Have some treats, make sure you can recover from them mentally and physically.
Have had a lovely day doing some Christmas prep. Cranberry chia seed jam which will be used for making frangipane tarts and a roulade; lemon curd; and apple compote for the grand parents to go with baked egg custard which I will be having with blueberries. Blueberries considered too 'alternative' for grand parents! Tomorrow I will be making a chicken, gammon and leek pie (which I will be eating without the pastry), mashed cauliflower and shredded creamed cabbage to take down to grand parents (in their 90s). This way I get to eat what works for me and they don't have to do cooking
