Guilty Pleasures

Relationship to Diabetes

I'm a sucker for Black Forest Gateaux in fact for those who don't know me I have Diabetes and take insulin so it's not allowed I thinks that's why I want it, well need it.

I was once walking past a bakery and in the window was a Black Forest Gateaux, I stopped and we just stared each other out, was like a Mexican Standoff eventually I started licking the window, drooling, unbeknown to me the bakery assistants were just starring at me, they looked horrified, but I was still focused on the Black Forest Gateaux eventually the police turned up I had use all my skills to negotiate my freedom and persuade them I wasn't licking the window while starring at the shop assistants, so the moral of this story is do not do this, the window tastes like ****, and also could get you on the sex offenders register

What's your Guilty Pleasure!

My (not very healthy) pleasure is cheese. I refuse to feel guilty about it though: psychological wellbeing's as important as physical wellbeing 😉
 
my pleasure is a whole 200 gm bag of mixed nuts not good for the BG

I always thought nuts were carb free unless they were chocolate covered of course.

Why is it not allowed, as long as you can estimate the carbs you can have some insulin surely.
 
I don’t have guilty pleasures. I don’t like the term, especially in relation to food. Black Forest Gateau can be reasonable carbs if you get a quality one rather than an over sweetened one.
 
Fresh crusty white bread..... with cheese and tomato......very very rarely have it now

Rum or a single malt whiskey....again a rare treat

So the police saw your misdemeanour as a. “Trifle.”
 
I love a glass of Talisker Single Malt, Bushmills Whisky, any Bourbon or dark rum.

As far as food is concerned, my guilty pleasure is Caramac . A dietitian at the hospital said I could eat this as long as it was part of my dinner. I was sad when they stopped making it but they have relaunched it again. Yay!

I have a few, but chocolate is my main guilty pleasure, and as long as I don't go mad, I can get away with a daily chocolate treat at supper time, and it has no effect on me.

“Guilt” is a form of stress. This anxiety can come from societal “virtue signalling” agenda driven elements that creep into the multiple forms of media. I would agree to just enjoy what you’ve eaten. The stress will only raise BGs.
 
My guilty pleasure is Tiramisu Mmm 😛but it's so not allowed on my shopping list anymore coz it raises my blood sugars😱 However I might, just might have one small Tiramisu now and then to satisfy my sweet craving.😛 but I cut out other carbs when I do to account for the rise.
