so? What's wrong with half a bottle of wine.

I've already had 2 martini's and the wine with no bad effects at all.

Funny part is sometimes I think I've splurged but when I test all is fine. I ate like a horse on New Years eve but tested at 120.
But every once in a while a Big Mac and fries. Ohh my.

Thanks for voting guys. Since I didn't really splurge according to some, next time I'm going to have a couple more onion rings and the Jalapeno peppers next time. mmm

I was a little worried about going to a restaurant like that but the kids wanting some good ole burgers and shakes and I wasn't going to stand in the way.

R2, sounds like you didn't do too badly for your first splurge! You made good decisions and checked your blood sugar...so i'd say you handled it well. Good for you.

When I really want a burger on bun at a restaurant, i'll pick you the inside of the thick homemade bun, leaving just a thin bun on top and bottom...I feel like i've had a "normal" burger this way, without all the carbs. I also "share" hubby's fries, taking 4-5 to have with my burger. As I do this very infrequently, I haven't notice a negative effect on my blood sugars....unfortunately, its not as "weight friendly" as it is blood sugar friendly for me!

I typically eat whatever I want and just count the carbs.. works for me.. usually. I'm not huge on desert and sweets though, so it usually amounts to around 300g per day.

As a matter of fact I plan to spurge today) That means McDonald's. Now I am pretty new to T1 and insulin, but have found that two hours after my spurge BG is around 140 so that's not so bad I guess?

Me too lutefisk

Husband and I are going out today as it's our 54th Wedding Anniversary.

I will try not to splurge too much but I love desert and sweet so
will go easy on the first course!

I probably splurge a couple of times a month. I had a small cheeseburger and side salad the other day, but it was well within my carb exchanges for the meal, so it wasn't bad. Last time was last week and I ate at the Indian restaurant buffet. I was SOOOO bad! Didn't check my sugar. Couldn't stand the thought. LOL. But I've been desperately good since then.

I am going to have a real chocolate malt one of these days, though. When I'm averaging below 100 and I've lost 35 pounds.

Well, I was ordered by my PCP to ease up control and start eating lots more different types of food. She felt that I was not eating enough "Fun Stuff" since my A1cs have always been so good.

After I made a list of week's food that I had the week before, she just congratulated me on being able to estimate insulin needs so well and she hasn't said anything about what I eat any more. lol

Truth must be good for the soul. Look at all these honest people!!!!

Don't feel too badly -- my downfall is chocolate too! Sometimes I go on "binges". Food fit for the gods!
