your sugars will spike no matter what you eat, the test is if they come back down in 2 hours to a normal range.

I have a dunkin donut once in a while, it is included in my daily carb totals, also when I have it I am doing some sort of activity which provides a form of exercise which helps....but a couple of donuts I would not do, and if I had a chocolate malt I would make it a small

Hey proverb, |I know that it sucks but why not try to find a replacement for those things. I know that when I get a donut craving I add it into my meal plan to substitute something like a donut hole. I have also looked around for other things that I could substitute for the donuts, some maybe smaller bites of something similar. I find that I can have one of the two bite brownies if I am really going through a sugar withdrawal but more and more lately, I tend to go more for the greek yogourt and mixing in some fresh fruit and nuts. I like the mouth feel of the greek yogourt and adding some fresh fruit to it really makes it yummy. Also, my friends who come over, I ask them not to bring over big honking desserts or chocolate bars because I find that too difficult. It is amazing how much they understand. Every once in a while, you will fall off the wagon, I think we all have, you just have to remember that your actions have repercussions. Just make falling off the wagon the exception rather than the rule. I used to love having a dessert after my dinners, now, I rarely have any dessert. DLife has some wonderful recipes for snacks and diabetic safe desserts and their library of recipes is quite extensive.

Sorry that I am a bit of a party pooper but you know what? You will get there!!

Sure you can..just count it in the Carbs(like Gayle said)and run around the block X number of times...LOL

The big "E" is the key.
Most of us will eat the dessert and then hit the sofa or lazy-boy....60 plus years of me doing this.....cannot anymore..
..love the feet and eyes and more...
But a dessert can be an apple or a peach or some dates.. and then 5 minutes on the exercise bike.

I havent had any of these things in a long time so I just wanted to break the boredom of my diabetic type foods and take a small break from the sugar free stuff that fills the room wiht bad odors after eating them.
My glucose was 133 this morning a little higher than my norm.I had two donuts yesterday

go for one, I know it is hard but it is better to feed the body what it craves so you don't go nuts.....and this does not mean a whole bunch of something all the time...just once in a while and only 1....like the potatoe chip commercial ....can you eat just one ROFLMA

I have had a donut, but I have changed how I eat it. I used to wolf one down in a matter of few minutes, but now, I actually cut it into smaller pieces and enjoy it over an entire day. I have less spiking, and flavor fun all day. The chocolate malt is pretty easy. I have taken one of my diebetic friendly chocolate nutritional shakes and frozen it into a ziploc bag. I then check it every hour or so until it freezes like ice cream. I put it in my magic bullet to blend it into a shake. You can top it with sugar free chcolate syrup and sugar free whipped cream.
