[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 1449276, member: 343949"] I would say you shouldn't really have a cheat, but you could still enjoy a controlled treat. Best thing to do is measure your bg before and afterwards, and make sure you have a good handle on where your readings are, and where they will end up: I went out for dinner earlier this week and started with a nice low-carb German pig knuckle, but then I ended up eating some pasta and birthday cake to be sociable- fortunately, I thought there would be a chance of something like that and I had drank some clear spirits to keep the worst of the sugar down. Two hours later, my blood sugar was still only 5.2, and the fasting the next morning was 4.6. I wouldn't do it as a matter of course though. On another occasion I had a small, light curry with a little bowl of rice, and it somehow put me up to 10 point something. Had I not tested, I would have thought the birthday cake would have been seriously bad and the rice would have been OK. [/QUOTE]
