I feel rather ashamed.
Last night, I had an evening with a colleague, at a local wine bar. We work for the same school but on different campuses, so I dont bump into her much at work. She is a very dear friend, and extremely supportive of me, in every way.
Anyway, we sat down to chat and I ordered a diet coke and she, a glass of white wine. I had told her that I was only having wine as an occaisional treat these days as I am losing weight, blah, blah,blah..in fact, I havent had a glass of wine for over a month, even though I know it isn't a complete no-no.
But...the evening wore on and we got to talking and laughing and I decided to have ONE glass of red wine..why not?
It arrived, along with a "happy hour" ticket, meaning I could have another one for free...and I did..and then another.
After a while we were both so jolly..and having a great time.
We left around 11.30, and when I got home, I realised that I was a little worse for wear and proceeded to lose my evening meal ( a salad) in the bathroom....
This morning I woke up feeling like death..serves me right...but when I checked my BG, it was the lowest it has EVER been in the mornng....5.0!!
It will be a long time before I can face red wine again..
but at least I know now that having a glass of wine in the evening
does lower my morning BG's!!
