Just to make room in the freezer for the strawberries that I had washed
As I looked at the box I read in big letters "HIGH IN SUGARS". Dixxie, a diabetic (and someone who knows about health) had bought it.
She served it and Humberto, immediatly asked for seconds. I also extended my dish and she turned around the table to go to her dish to get seconds too.
I don´t blame her. They were delicious. And in this country there aren´t many no sugar ice creams.
But I have also noticed that many of my friends with diabetes think that they can eat anything if they also take Metformin. And many of them also think that alcoholic drinks have nothing to do with diabetes. One of my friends even told me once that he took Metformin so that "he would not have diabetes". You can´t argue with that. I passed.
But in general, Dixie behaves. This ice cream was just too good to look at it from the distance.

I am insulin dependent diabetic living with Type 1.5 Diabetes for so many years. I am well behaved with diet but yes, every now and then I give up to some temptations. Some things are too yummy to resist. I wish that there were more yummy dessert options for duabetics.

My friend Alejandra is insulin dependent although she is not Type 1 diabetic. But she WILL have cake for her birthday. I think it is only fair.

@arunima25 Everyone does. And not only as food goes. I think that it is important to hug and to tell our loved ones that they are important to us.

@marguicha Yes, it is as long as we are back to track in time and don't overdo with the indulgence. Even Diabetics need some sweetness in their life from time to time

@shaggin If you a person doesn´t change her habits surgery does not help.

In any illness you have to take meds AND have an according diet, depending on what you have. You cannot rely only on pills. I have seen a show on TV about obese people. They think that if a doctor does a gastric bypass in their stomach they can go on eating like they used to. It is not so.

If she mostly behaves it's not too bad. A treat at times can be good
