It's very hard to stick to a regular regime while away..especially if you are at someone else's house and they are doing the cooking. They know I'm diabetic..but potatoes and other starchy things were cooked. So instead of starving to death I ate things I shouldn't have. :nono: I did go out and buy things..mainly for breakfast and in between snacks..and I did pretty good with that. But of course my blood sugar ran higher than usual. How long does it usually take for your blood sugar to get back where you need it...if you start eating right again? I'm still new at all of this..finding out I was diabetic back in September. I take amaryl..twice a day.
