[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 273325, member: 31362"] A food binge once a month will probably last a lot longer than that in effects, so in addition to the peaks of BG you experienced doing damage, (arguably, but lots will say high peaks cause harm) the effect on your overall average BGs and thus HbA1c is not inconsiderable. I guess it wouldn't help with weight either if that's an issue. There is the further issue that once a month can become once a month plus birthdays, then plus friends birthdays and so on. Bit like the occasional fag! Regarding the Pxxx up- why do you describe this as a sugar binge? Spirits have zero sugar or carbs, wine very little and even though beer does, the alcohol stops the liver processing the carbs into sugar in the blood. It's why insulin dependant diabetics have to be wary of hypos if they drink. So drinking is between you and your liver rather than your diabetes! We have to enjoy something-I do! [/QUOTE]
