How not to eat - for me anyway. I was out on Friday evening at a venue chosen by the guest of honour. Meal ended up being gin and (full sugar) tonic, whitebait, battered cod and a very small piece of birthday cake. I felt rough for the next 12 hours but it was a good remainder of what can happen when I take my eye off the ball and let other people buy drinks etc. A salutary lesson!
I felt very ill once after drinking 2 x full sugar tonic while out. Ever since then I've insisted on seeing the bottle it's poured from and quite frequently I've had to point out that instead of slimline they've used full sugar. I'm sure It sounds like we are being picky so I do try go explain why diabetics shouldn't drink full sugar drinks but mostly just get a blank look back.
