was diagnosed with type 2 in April - I've been doing quite well actually - ive lost a stone mostly i think its the metformin but also eating more salads and veg and less pizzas and burgers etc liek i used to! - anyway with the festive season coming up i just wondered if you guys still ate some nice treats at xmas? the odd choc or 2 from the tin, pork pie, mince pie, full xmas dinner?, trimmings etc - what is your balance at xmas?

Bazza, it's Christmas and remembering that it's only one day you can let youself go a bit.

I still avoid the really bad stuff like icing, sweet liquours, soft chocalates etc. but on this one day I do have a mince pie and I do have Christmas pudding. Fortunately red wine helps keep my BGs down, so a glass or two with a meal helps a lot :D
