[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 936795, member: 43498"] I'm a supporter of occasional treats, and I don't think a small rise in BG every few weeks does any damage. In fact, I think it was my perfectionism that contributed to me falling off the wagon a year ago. My new approach is to allow myself occasional treats. This approach is backed up by Jenny Ruhl at Blood Sugar 101: [INDENT] "The key, for me, is to build safety valves into my diet. I don't call them "cheats" or "bad foods" for reasons I'll get into later. I call them "off plan" foods because they are not food I can make an ongoing part of my daily food plan. Because my goal is life-long blood sugar control, I accept that I will occasional eat "off plan" and that this is okay as long as I am meeting my blood sugar targets most of the time. "Good enough" control that I can adhere to year in and year out beats a few months of perfection followed by crashing off the diet entirely and ruining my health."[/INDENT] [URL]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/14046989.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
