I posted over there about buying these boxes of chocolate covered cherries and blueberries,and a couple acquaintances have gone overboard,proclaiming loudly I am the "typical newly diagnosed diabetic", buying all this junk and eating uncontrollably....I buy these items to enjoy,yes.But: I also buy these items RARELY,to share with my loved ones,and to have something I have never had (the blueberry ones.).........I have had a grand total of one today,one of each yesterday,my B. S. was 117 this morning..Also,my sister sent me a tin of homemade cookies that will not be opened until Christmas Day,to be shared by all........To date,The only time I crave anything not good for me is if I go for a long time without eating.........I also had one small piece of my sister's home made peanut brittle,when not too long ago would have been eaten practically as a meal.They make it sound like I am lurking in the shadows,sneaking every little thing to snack on.....I have bought Jason and Marcia different kinds of small packages of candy,Peeps,etc.,as stocking stuffers,because they don't have diabetes.........I guess these others are just concerned,but.......God has brought me through every last one of my Dr. visits with flying colors,and when you are told that others have had major health related issues with numbers lower than you had,things change,suddenly 10 or more pieces of bread a day,or containers full of spice drops and a glass of milk on the side, do not look so appetizing,any more.......
