My real dark secret is I sometimes allow myself a fresh cream eclair...only the ones from a certain supermarket with the carb content displayed...18 carbs per éclair...I substitute it for lunch (have to stress that is a rare treat for me)...follow it with a good walk...no massive spike in my BGs...again...its all about diet being individual for each of us...since I test I can make that call...are we in danger of becoming rebellious...no...don't believe we are...I can manage a small indulgence occasionally...as you rightly say... as long as we are careful...and it doesn't become habitual..[/QUOTE]rQUOTE="Ixarix, post: 1603221, member: 439065"]The occasional treat is important, I agree. I recently added a square of dark chocolate as an after dinner treat. I sure do look forward to it, just the right amount to perk me up.
Sort becomes a trade-off, where you plan ahead and take steps to minimize the effects. If you're managing things well, the occasional deviation is not a problem. Just don't want to eat nothing but eclairs.My real dark secret is I sometimes allow myself a fresh cream eclair...only the ones from a certain supermarket with the carb content displayed...18 carbs per éclair...I substitute it for lunch (have to stress that is a rare treat for me)...follow it with a good walk...no massive spike in my BGs...again...its all about diet being individual foe each of us...since I test I can make that call...are we in danger of becoming rebellious...no...we are not...I believe we can manage small indulgences...as you say... as long as we are careful...and it doesn't become habitual..

HahaI had lie down after reading about it.
My new Libre came today.
I'm liking it so far, early days though. My endocrinologist recommended it, one of the reasons she recommended it was because I have a tremor that can making blood readings a bit tricky. They're just starting to roll out here in Canada. They are pricey right now, I'm paying for it now, but will try to get insurance to sort it out down the road.Was thinking of buying this system but is just too expensive for me to justify the expense. Let us know how you get on with it please.
