Put me on that list.There's been a long list of people falling off the wagon over the Christmas period so your not alone Sandysan, I'm sure in time your levels will return to where you were before.
Put me on that list.
ohh beachbag , such wise wise words,thanks a million,needed them today big time.I stayed on the wagon all over Christmas but it's just lost a wheel and I've fallen off!. Have figured it's ok to sin for a few hours. Tomorrow isn't just a new day, it's a New Year!

I know some people say 'why put yourself through high blood sugars and the negative health effects for a few days of enjoyment?' .... well I say a few days of enjoyment and letting yourself go is a GOOD thing for your overall well-being and sanity. It must be hard to get back on track now but I'm sure you can do it and honestly, your blood sugar didn't go crazy high, just a bit higher than you'd have liked. I think you did really well.
As for me I had a chest infection over Christmas (still have it actually) and my blood sugars have been between 17 - 20 for about a week now.... feel like poop!
lost the plot for 2 days over xmas , and bs gone up from 4,3 to 6.1 ,,, finding it a bit hard to get back into routine ,it makes a big big difference , I only had a bar of chocolate instead of a TIN . hahaha , and a couple of the well you know that party stuff food ,
and amazingingly its hard to get back onot the old chiken and egss ect ect , I must admit I am craving a little bit and hoping I have the will power as the diet is a life changing diet not a 1 week wonder ,but after saying all this , really I guess I done well or did I ?

Are you carb counting Bean ? If so (on my machine) there is an option to increase your Bolus setting to +25% for "illness"
& BTW Steroids (assuming you are on them) increase your blood sugar levels, so that maybe why they are 17-20
Thanks. I'm not on any meds other than my usual ones but yes I carb count - I'm back to 'normal' now but at the time I was doing correction doses and my levels were still not coming down... I need to get my head around the 'sick day rules'. Hey ho, illness is never a predictable thing with diabetes!
