I know some people will say I can have a fairly low carb Christmas, but for just a few days I would love to be able to eat what I used to love eating at Christmas such as mince pies, Christmas cake, roast spuds, parsnips, chocolates, everything that I know I shouldn’t eat as a diabetic.
I was diagnosed in April with an HbA1c of 90 but managed to get down to 40 in September.
So for a few days if I high carb what long term damage would it cause if any .
I sometimes go on a cruise , not for the foreseeable future due to covid, and that would be the same as a lot of eating is done on a cruise ship.
So the question is can I spike my blood sugar levels for a week and then go back to low carb without causing any long term effects on my diabetic health .
I think a lot of other diabetics would also like to know.
I am a bit reluctant to relax my diet but if it is safe I would risk it.
