What a horrible two weeks I went through. Blood sugars were up and down and there was literally too much food. From the wedding to Thanksgiving I'm still not that hungry. The wedding was beautiful no doubt about it. I had a good time as a bridesmaid and had lost the amount of weight that I wanted to for the wedding. I ran into an old flare from high school who offered me a glass of wine. Before the wedding started I was feeling shaky so I checked and I was 52, I went in the kitchen of the reception hall asking if I could have a coke and though the waitress spoke very little English and I spoke very little Spanish it was clear I was able to tell her I was a Diabetic and my blood sugar was low. I know she had medical problems because I saw her bracelet she was wearing and it was an alert bracelet so who knows she could very well be a Diabetic as well. It took three glasses of Coke to get me up to 93. During the wedding I had enough food to keep the alcohol from affecting me, and I didn't have any meat that they offered. I don't like beef, never hard, and the chicken looked to be too much for me to be able to have. SO! I had some salad, carrots, potatoes, and green beans. it all worked out to where I was full with the choices I made and I was able to bolus for the amount of carbs that I was having. I did have cake, it was good, but it was a very small piece and I was still sipping on the glass of wine that my friend from high school brought me. I did do some dancing to burn off the fatty content of what I ate and to make sure my blood sugar stayed perfect. I also had a Cranberry and Vodka, only two drinks that night and I was perfectly continent with how i felt as I ate my food, and drank the alcohol. My blood sugar only got up to about 150 that night. The wedding was wonferful and I had a lot of fun.

Thanksgiving came and went and there was too much food even for cooking so little. My aunt and I were the only ones who didn't like Oyster dressing so we had plain dressing which I helped make. It was really good, but I think we could have done with less because I was eating off of that for about three days and that was empty carbs I was filling and I know that. I only get stuffing once a year and when I get it I look forward to it. The holiday was good, but now I'm just trying to work on burning off what I gain and things like that. I was talking to a friend and she's making cookies for everyone and mailing them. When I was telling her about my Sugar Free Pumpkin Nutmeg Cheesecake I had made she had forgotten I was a D and was like "The cookies aren't sugar free." and I told her that its okay. I'm going to check, have one, and then bolus!

Anyways there's not too much going on and I know I've not posted in a while...
