If I was not diabetic for ONE day.....

I have thought about this since I saw it yesterday afternoon... What would I do?

To be honest I really wouldn't know

There isn't any foods that I avoid eating because I'm diabetic so can't invisage myself having a blow out..

I've never been in the position of not being able to do the job that I wanted due to my diabetes or think of one that I woud like to do if I hadn't been diabetic... I'm scared of flying so have no disires of being a pilot...

Going off with the dogs for a long walk without worry or taking my kit..

Well in truth picking up my kit has the same status as taking my house keys so would be in the same panic has if I left my house keys behind for the day (I still take mine out even if Les has his)

I really don't know

Perhaps because I don't know it means that diabetes is so much apart of who I am and what make me who I am..
 
I feel the same, its really hard to come up with anything.............

you are two very lucky people! I want to be in your gang!!

don't get me wrong, I don't dwell on my D too much and do pretty much get on with it, and it is totally who I am, but it would be nice for one day not to have that extra worry at the back of my mind - to remember to inject, or carb count and work out ratios, or experience a hypo etc etc. That's all.
 
It would be so wonderful to have a day of not having to take any medication and not being concerned about BG levels. That would be absolute bliss
 
I have thought of something for myself, just for ONE day. It's the Choclate fudge cake I have just made for a celebration this weekend. The kitchen smells sssooooooooooooooooooo sweet and the cake is filled inside and also the sides and the TOP OMG and I have been so good. If only..............................................if only :D Sheena
 
To just have a day of not testing BS or injecting would be fantastic. And being able to eat supper if I want to / not having to eat supper if I don't want to would be lovely, that is the biggest annoyance to me! If I'm hungry my BS is usually too high and if I'm full I usually have to eat before bed, grrr.

I know that feeling very well!
