I was on vacation for 8 days and did my best to keep to the Keto WOE. Argued with everyone constantly that it was NOT on a diet. That I was NOT allowed a cheat day. Seriously, do you think my diabetes knows I've been good and will allow me to eat something I shouldn't without kicking my sugars up? There is no cheat days for me. The things I eat, the exercise I do all impacts my sugars. My diligence paid off, my sugars stayed on point and I lost 7 lbs! Yippie me!! It was a great celebration and I enjoyed seeing my brother and his family, but as I said before my brother doesn't take his diabetes seriously. Our father didn't either and we lost him very young, he was 62 when he died. While I opted for salad, burger and a few berries for dessert he had a burger on bun with a huge glop of ketchup and a giant cupcake with a big pile of butter cream frosting. Both of us are diabetic, I'm now taking 10 units of insulin a day and if I keep going the way I am, the doctor says I can STOP taking my insulin!!! He eats like that and not only takes shots, but pills for his diabetes too. I can't tell him what to do, I've tried to explain things, but he says it's too much work. It makes me so sad, how can having a healthy future be too much work. Everyday I bless the people that created this site and all the information people put out there for a Keto WOE. Today, thanks to them, my future looks good. :-)
