“ Anyway, checking your blood sugar is cheap and easy.”

Now seeeee
That is something I’ve never thought of.
I’m only vaguely aware that those are probably over-the-counter easy to find.

I know I eat too much sugar.
I used to have either ice cream and milk or cookies and milk almost every night.
Lately it’s been both almost every night.
I have a new plan in place
Only eat sweet stuff on holidays. There’s a lot of of them.
Sometimes two a month if you count days like MLK.
I’m starting my third day without sweets.
Plus, I now look forward to all holidays.

But I never thought about checking my blood sugar level with something diabetic use that they can get over-the-counter.
Thank you.

“”I’m only vaguely aware that those are probably over-the-counter easy to find.””

Is that available OTC? I didn’t know that.

I too am a sugar addict - specifically CHOCOLATE. Can cut it out and leave it alone for a few days/nights but the minute I give in, it starts all over again. Have had tests for sugar with no negative result..

I also treat myself to Dixie Cups of ice cream - one chocolate and one Vanilla after the evening meal and cleanup is done...I ration myself on both chocolate and ice cream and I can stick to that. Don’t like a guilty conscience so I restrict myself.

I am supporting you whether or not it looks like it...LOL Keep at it!! We’ll lick ‘em yet!
