Do you ever splurge/cheat on diet?

Question

I’ve only been diagnosed for 2 weeks and it took awhile to get to a specialist so I’ve only been checking my levels for a couple of days (they’ve all been good). Curious if any of you ever cheat/splurge that causes a big spike and is it ok or I should I not? I am desperately craving a piece of cake and a slice of pizza for this Friday. Am I horrible? I’m 31+3 weeks

Answer

Girl, snack size candy. 
You’re splurging but also controlling your portion size. 
Saved me while pregnant.

Answer

I’m on insulin and had pizza for my brothers b-day last week. It definitely spiked it even with extra insulin that night. One high is not going to hurt but try not to make a habit of it. I get enough highs for no reason that I try not to cheat too much.

Answer

I asked my dr for a cheat meal so I could go on a date with my husband before the  baby comes lol. I ended up not going too overboard (139) and it took until lunch the next day to get my numbers back in order. 
I do keep the bite size reese's in the pantry to have like a single one between meals sometimes and I'll have a bite of like bread or something here or there but I havent blown up my numbers. I find I feel off and unwell when I do.

Answer

I did sometimes, but if I over did the splurge it would affect my next meal/sugars.

Answer

My doctor said a spike or two each week was fine. And sometimes, what I think will spike my sugar (like pizza) doesn't.

Answer

Yes i do. Im diet controlled and have had cheat meals or a dessert here and there. Never a full day of bad eating but during the holidays i had pieces of cake. Some times on weekends ill have half a brownie or a cookie. If i eat the sweets with almonds my levels dont get too crazy. Everyone is different though so see how your body reacts. Good luck mama!
