We all have bad days - just learn from it, don't beat yourself up too much, we are all human

I made a huge mistake at 4:30 pm and had 4 whole Marmite sandwiches with 8 slices of Kingsmill white bread and thickly-spread Marmite. At 5:15 pm, my blood sugar read an outstandingly concerning 13.1.
I know that the impulsivity and poor judgement orientation in my Adult ADHD may have precipitated this. I was doing so well with previous posts heralding my achievements. I felt like I'd overcomed massive hurdles and came up to a brick wall whilst running and hit it with such great velocity that I knocked myself out. Now I feel sad, discouraged and disappointed in myself.
But there's no room for self-pity. I have to continue trying and just try to hydrate myself with plenty of tap water to lower the glycaemia and adopt the same healthy attitude that I have originally maintained.
Much love to everyone on www.diabetes.co.uk.
Just noticed as mentioned here that we can Like again ..... cue a huge Liking session

You have an excellent attitude Johnny, we are all human and make mistakes but the important thing is learning from them. I find that when I eat carbohydrates I want more afterwards! It sounds like your dad was very wise, he gave you some very good advice. My favourite saying is "tomorrow is a new day", even if you have a bad day you can start afresh the next day.

That's the right attitude, Johnny - pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep on winning.I made a huge mistake at 4:30 pm and had 4 whole Marmite sandwiches with 8 slices of Kingsmill white bread and thickly-spread Marmite. At 5:15 pm, my blood sugar read an outstandingly concerning 13.1.

Well, liked because I can now, but not that I like the sound of infected sinusesI've got a bad infection in my left cheek sinuses. Been trying to steam things out. Feeling miserable and not going out tonight as planned. Noticed my BGs were a bit higher than usual, signs of an infection setting in. If it gets more painful I might have to go to the out of hours at the hospital tomorrow. Bummer.
Good morning Johnny, that's a fantastic reading! You should be very pleased with yourself.Good Morning, my lovely friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk Type 2 Life Forum,
I am posting to inform you that at 5:45 ante meridian this morning, Saturday 28th May, 2016 (Kylie Minogue's 48th Birthday!!), I administered my metformin hydrochloride, tamsulosin hydrochloride, ramipril, bendroflumathiazide, amlodipine, carbamazepine and my Lixisenatide glucagon-like peptide injection.
When I took my blood glucose reading at 6:26 ante meridian, it read 4.8 Millimoles Per Litre.
Have a lovely day, my friends.

A morning g fast may put bgs up if you have a very helpful liver .....You said it Johnny, just treat today as another fresh start. Kill those carbs - maybe fast until lunch. It won't take you long to rectify the slip.

Another normal range reading Johnny, you ARE having a good day. Fabulous!Good Morning, my lovely friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk Type 2 Life Forum,
I am as happy as a little spring bunny today. Not only did I achieve a non-diabetic range blood sugar reading but today, Saturday 28th May, 2016, I received a very lengthy report from Doctor Susannah Whittle at my local Autism Service, confirming my diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome. She mentioned my diabetes and other health conditions as well and is going to refer me for something called Cognitive Behaviour Therapy at a specialist autism resource that well help me counteract my ASD tendencies of putting myself at risk financially and my 'meltdowns'.
My BG at 11:45 this morning was 5.2 Millimoles Per Litre.
Yours faithfully,
