And it tasted like a bad decision. It’s my son’s birth day, I have gestational diabetes, I chose to eat the cake... just a small piece, and I know I’m going to pay for it... I’ve done so well though, I keep my numbers in check, all day, everyday. I’m successfully diet controlled 100%. I just wanted to enjoy his birthday with him like a normal mom would. I did what I did, I can’t take it back now. I feel guilty but at the same time, I know one number isn’t going to undo all the good I’ve done since being diagnosed.

**Update**

My level was at 119 about two hours after finishing that piece of cake... my highest number yet, but still within limit. I don’t feel guilty anymore.
