Went 2 weeks without testing, post Christmas blowout

[Ronancastled]

The cartridge on my Accu-chek ran out over Christmas so I went a bit wild.
New cartridge was on its way but got delayed due to Brexit, ordered from amazon.co.uk

Anyway it arrived today so guilt and anxiety set in.
Kids wanted takeaway pizza so I went for it on the proviso that it was the last treat before home schooling.
Anyway I gorged and then got the rush of guilt.
Last time I did this was when I scoffed half the top tray of USA biscuits pre Christmas.
My bloods let me away with that one but looks like I didn't learn my lesson.

New cartridge inserted, 5.8 @ 2 hours phew.

I'm the worst diabetic ever.

Doesn't sound like it if your body can cope with pizza. And if you're not on meds you don't need to test all the time, just often enough to make sure your levels are still under control.

Mind you, pizza is a bit weird so you may find the carbs hit a bit later....

Happy New Year.

I love pizza and still have it occasionally, fish and chips too. Hardly the worst diabetics! Occasional treat is okay for me

only issue is that they are not a single spike, they raise levels and stay high a lot longer, in fact my day after fasting levels always are higher after I have them. Something to watch out for
