OK here`s my confession ,
i don't smoke [worked if foundry's for years breathed enough smoke ] i only drink once in a while even at that its a couple of whiskeys with Canada dry sugar free ginger ale , here`s the bad part i eat chocolate not a lot [ohh my god ,why did i suddenly get a image of paul Daniels lol]as i say not every day but i do have a little Galaxy finger 13g of sugar ouch i usually wait till my BS is about 5.0then sit down with a cup of tea yes i use skimmed milk lol,
is this really really bad am i playing with a loaded gun or just enjoying life ,
i think i get it from watching my mother who was diabetic who had such amazing control of her diabetes, yet could also sit down and get stuck into a strawberry tart once in a blue moon ,i now know why she had that look of unadulterated pleasure on her face i know because Ive went there not the strawberry tart yeuch cant stand them ,
before i was diagnosed i never ate chocolate all through my childhood i was allergic to get this sugar ,its a long story and yes at birth they thought i was diabetic but in the end they said i was sugar intolerant ,well i was brought up in a small community on the southside of Glasgow ,when ever i went to the local shops non of them would sell me boiled sweets or chocolate or any thing really sugary ,all i could get was just crisps and things like liquorice but there was still a large selection to pick fromso it never bothered me much [turns out my mother warned all the local shops if they sold me sugary sweets they would have her to deal with ouch ],so i never really wanted chocolate until after i was diagnosed ,don't know why but i suddenly wanted something i had spent a lifetime staying away from ,so am i being stupid with my Galaxy finger now and then or should i dig deep and say get behind me Satan lol
