I was really bad a fortnight ago, I ate a whole family sized Tiramisu , I've been so good the last 4 months, had my meds changed 5 times and still my Hba1c was higher than when first diagnosed so I just kind of comfort ate! I can honestly say never again lol! BS of 22.3 and 5 hours in the Loo, Lesson Learnt! But it tasted sooooo good xxxx

i think these sort of posts are negative, its come up before and ive got in trouble before for saying things like this but having a "ive been bad" thread may just make someone think its ok, if they are doing it sod it ill go get me that chocolate out of the fridge, it isnt ok, there are many more uncontolled diabetics than controlled, it is not clever and not a reason to boast

we all fall off the wagon, but its a reason to jump back on and carry on trying to be "good" if someone wants to self harm (because thats what your doing) go right ahead but patting eachother on the back for doing it makes little sense to me

being an angel is bloody hard, no its not easier for me, yes i do crave sweet things, yes i have cried tears of denial, yes it is a daily struggle

having an occasional treat is fine, im not judging people that do that, im not judging people that cant not do it

but you invited me to help you not do it again and this is my attempt at that
 
Wow ! I consider myself well and truly told off!
I think what the OP and myself are trying to say that Yes, we fall off the wagon sometimes, Yes, we know it's bad, but to suggest that our light hearted posts could make other Diabetics make bad decisions is both unwarranted and somewhat patronising, I'm sure they have their own minds and can make their own decisions.
I thought this was a friendly forum for help, advice and a bit of light hearted banter away from this horrid, yes, horrid, condition.
I feel judged and somewhat belittled by Andy's comment, so I think I'll take a pass on a Forum that seems to be It's my way or the Highway.

my way or the highway? wouldnt i need to be in charge to be saying that? it is a friendly forum, if a friend of mine says something i disagree with i tell them and visa versa, they are still my friend, this forum is for help, advice, support and debate as far as im concerned anyway but im not in charge, you can disagree with anything i say at anytime just like you just have, my comments arent meant to make you leave i was just expressing an opinion and did not intend to belittle you if thats how you took it, there is a huge amount of imformation on here that could help you so leaving over something i have said is ridiculous, i agree people have their own minds and are perfectly entitled to ignore every word of what i said, you were judged by my comments, do we not judge people by what we say? i am not here to gain popularity im here to help and be helped, if we do something "good" we are rightly praised, if we do something "bad" would you like praise for that too? or should unhealthy behaviour be ignored? if thats how you want me to act you will have to contact an admin and have me banned because thats not how im made, this post could have quickly turned into the likes of previous posts ive seen where folks all compare how badly theyve cheated and i believe its negative encouragement which is why i said what i said right or wrong i stand by it, although i am sorry it upset you, i will have to live with being taken off your christmas card list
