oooppss just ate 6 cream eggs

i know we are allowed to do what we want but especially for newbies reading the forum i believe it to be a pointless post:)
 
I dunno, I get sick and tired of people who know nothing about diabetes giving me disapproving looks and saying 'You can't eat that!' when ordering a huge piece of double chocolate fudge cake. I usually say 'Can't I?' whilst simultaneously jagging myself with 8u Humalog.

That's round about 22u Humalog for me, lol, more than I usually take in a whole day!

Nobody is saying don't have a piece of cake Tom but would you eat 6 then post on a diabetes forum ?

Oh man (and sorry for possibly derailing the thread) this pisses me off to no end. People who have no clue telling me I shouldn't drink diet coke being a diabetic. I fancied a dessert the other week, so I had a pre-emptive novarapid insulin shot - she literally put her head in her hands and shook it. She is a close friend so I was gentle with her haha but I hate people telling me how to manage my condition when they clearly don't understand it. The whole idea of basal blous is 3 meals = 3 injections, 17 meals = 17 injections. That's what makes it so good.

I still don't think to this day that she realises just how upset with her I was haha.

Rant over :D

PS This post wasn't directed at anyone here - I presume most diabetics understand diabetes :D

Still. I'd probsbly limit my creme egg intake to 5. Now 6 is just gluttony ;-) And yes, I inject alot. My personal rule for snacking is over 20g carbs, take a shot.

You obviously haven't found the right kind of choccie! What about Thorntons continental - lol! Right now I'll probably just stick to a handful of peanuts - salted as I like to live a little on the wild side! A glass of wine would be nice too!

Crunchies are good but they're not the best! Although I could probably eat one right now as I'm starving and the earliest we can eat is 7pm when the other half gets in! Must get off this forum and start cooking! This is when I really miss my what was once daily glass of wine! Lol!

Nooooo! It's got to be the Alpini or the diplomat! Perhaps that's what pushed me over the edge lol as I received the most enormous box at Christmas so I ended up giving some away to the kids - there were too many even for me! Must stop posting - this forum is my new addiction! :)

I don't even think the medical profession understand it and that is why we are all in such a pickle

I want a bounty and a star bar - They stare at me every time I fill up the car (twice a week) with petrol but I have been good and not made eye contact

Tell me about it. I only started to get well when I started ignoring my DSN. Tbh, I have learned more from here about fine tuning my regime then from any medical professional.
