When you have a routine, such as going to work 5 days a week, you can & usually do control your food & drink intake throughout the working week & perhaps just indulge a bit over the weekend. When you retire, things change. When i eat out with friends (i don't mean a formal meal invitation), i don't usually know where we'll be eating - might be a snack at a coffee shop or a meal at a pub. I did like the idea someone made of having a set amount of insulin, a best guess, & then topping it up as the meal progresses. I'll try that. However i have no answers for when i just decide to have a cappuccino on my way back from somewhere. Regardless of insulin taken when i pop into the cafe, i will spike, as the coffee will enter my bloodstream much faster than my insulin. Life to me is about having those little pleasures, esp now, & as you've said, it's quite a challenge!</p></blockquote><p></p>
