I am 4 months into this new T2 lifestyle. Goodness knows I've given up plenty. So here I am in London, I went for Lunch, I saw Ed's Diner. Well it's fair to say I fell off the wagon. It doesn't really matter that I had the Sweet Potato fries (only ate half) instead of the regular fries. And what different does it make that I had Diet Coke instead of a Chocolate Malted Milkshake. Every mouthful of my meal was sinful and delicious, a taste sensation. So wrong but oh so good. But I can feel Guilt already knocking on my door....
 
I did something similar myself yesterday by eating a large bread bun. Despite it being wholemeal and seeded, it raised my BS to a very unacceptable level that lasted above 3 hours. I didn't feel guilty because I did it on purpose as an experiment and was carefully monitored by my Libre sensor, but I learnt from doing it that despite excellent normal levels I cannot cope with ordinary bread and probably never will be able to.

Glad you enjoyed your treat, but please do be careful it doesn't become a habit.
 
Bet you appreciated it at the time, because it was a treat, and I read you were going to the knitting and sewing craft show, I went a couple of years ago, you do a fair bit of walking, so you would have burned up some carbs doing that.
So no guilt needed
 
It's not cheating if you are experimenting with a FreesStyle Libre. I do that as well occasionally when I can afford a sensor. I should post some of my results somewhere on the forum.
 
Ed's Diner does sweet potato fries!!! That's good to know. I know Henry's does them too. and you only ate half. I never knew you could apply fractions to fries I thought they only ever came in whole numbers - even herds but never fractions.Wagons are there to fall from every now and then. Don't see it as guilt but as a mini self induced test on how quickly you can get back on it.
