Self absorbed and rude people! Motorists who are oblivious to the rest of the world, and really don't give a ****!
Well I haven't fallen off yet, but sometimes I just soooooo want to! I cannot help noticing all the lovely desserts available to non diabetics and I so loved my desserts (don't get the idea I was a junk food junky - but I did like my chocolate). Also, suddenly wish I could eat a bog standard cadbury's chocolate - crazy I know! My biggest hankering in the Dark Magnum right now, I feel so tempted to go and buy one.... this is worse than nicotine craving.

I eat my odd square of Lindt 90 per cent dark chocolate and I quite like this, but sometimes, just sometimes I would like to eat the ordinary 'junk' that other people eat :evil:

Please tell me if you have any such 'evil' yearnings and how you avoid giving into them, I sometimes try a little taste of other people's goodies, then I complain that it is too sweet :)
 
You can get the dark magnum in packs of mini Magnums. IIRC they are 16 carbs. Maybe you could work one into your daily allowance or keep for weekend treat ? :twisted:
 
Soleros are about 18 carbs per ice cream. Which isn't too bad yet they feel like a real treat somehow - but not chocolate.

My big treat to myseff is a meringue nest (12.5gm carb) and cream, you can add blueberries if your BG's toerate them and it feels like a good desert.

But sometimes I just long for a bar of cadburies or an ice cream cone and when those around me are eating one, I feel as if my body has betrayed me.
 
I had a banana split lengthwise and sandwiched together with nutella as a treat on Saturday followed by a long walk (5 miles) Pre prandial blood sugar 6.7, 2 hours/post walk blood sugar 4.7. Treats seem doable if I've the time to do the exercise :D
 
Hi All,

So glad to hear that you all have 'ventures' into the world of forbidden fruits too! I like the idea of the mini magnums, I have had these before but felt extremely guilty and thought I had better steer clear of them. Trouble is that it is difficult to stop at one! But a brilliant idea, also the meringue with blueberries, I love blueberries and eat them with my breakfast on a daily basis, and when I was in Sainsburys last week I saw the most delicious looking meringue with cream and fruit on top I mentioned to my husband that I used to love meringues. Soleros ok but not so keen on ice lollies, and I never knew you could buy mini cornettos and will have to look out for them. As for the banana split, what a finding to have eaten it and walked and then find that your sugars are lower than before! Well done - 5 miles is quite a walk, not sure my feet and legs would withstand such a walk now, but great idea.

Off to Sainsburys now to buy a treat :D

If you are buying a ready made cream cake just check the carbs, as sometimes they put the fruit in a syrup and it isn't always so easy to tell how much meringue there is.

but enjoy.......

Hi and thanks for the tip, but I wasn't thinking of buying it, just drooling over it :D

I tried one the other week when I went away for the weekend, had a salad for lunch and was doing loads of walking so decided to risk a medium 99 with nut sprinkles.....result = nothing too drastic and well within limits.... :D Wouldn't like to say what would happen if I wasn't walking around mind you but good to know it is possible occassionally.

well as far as I know, drooling is carb free.........

Do you think it burns carbs LOL 8)
 
Seems to me that exercise is the key factor here, as long as we exercise we burn carbs, and that fellow T2s is the name of the game :D
