The lack of follow up reply is worrying haha. Still with us sugar crush? Or are you just travelling at light speed?

I thought I was bad, 6?! Well I can't comment, I had 3 easter eggs last week!

I find them all too sweet & sickly and one would be enough, but each to their own......

Good for you-thanks for sharing that with us.

I had six pickled eggs. My wife told me to go sit elsewhere.

I once ate a dozen pickled eggs in a pub for a bet, guts were a bit sore the next day though

Feel sick just thinking about it. Unless you mean six of the mini ones i dread to think of the size of the insulin dose you needed to cover that. Must admit that I do like cream eggs but the amount of insulin needed is not worth it unless I really NEED to have one.

Ouch. That would be about 23 units for me, following by a bad head and a severe hypo later on haha

Would you always have a hypo?

What if they were part of a main meal........?

being high in fat you would expect the absorption of glucose from the eggs to maybe be delayed or slower than other foods, which could result in a hypo earlier, then a high later....

My 6 year old diabetic daughter had her first creme egg recently. Although I included it as part of her mealtime insulin dose (it was pudding!) she went LOOPY!

I have never seen her so hyper!
She seemed happy enough though

Still, an experience I won't be repeating for a long while. Good job Easter only comes once a year!

6 creme eggs is disgraceful for a non diabetic even

Agreed! If people want to gorge on junk then that's their business obviously but to post it on a Diabetes health forum in a proud way is not on-I remember being newly diagnosed and really struggling with my readings despite eating what my nurse had told me and feeling very depressed and a post like the OP's which made light of gorging on junk and being proud would have tipped me over the edge at the time.

 

[novorapidboi26]

I think its OK to let go from time to time.....and share.......

and a diabetes SUPPORT forum is just the place to do it................no?

 

[paul-1976]

But to be so proud about it?-A confession is good but this sounded like a boast to me! It could make it sound like it's cool to do that-some newbies are stressed about their control already-this could make someone think "To hell with it-that's fine by them and they're happy to do it-I'll do the same!"

I wonder whether this was intended just to get a reaction ? Bit like posting on AA forum that you've just drunk a bottle of Scotch ! Odd
