Cheesecake & Me

Eversince I tried the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaves Chicago Cheesecake, I have fallen in love with it. There is a concern here......aren't cheesecake super sweet? Well, I think it is sweet. I first tried it when it was winter in Shanghai. Apparently, when I tested my blood sugar after eating the cheesecake, my blood sugar did not go sky high! Phew! What a relief. In fact, whenever I go winter countries, my blood sugar will always go low. That means, I will have more hypos eventhough I eat the same amount of food and injecting the same amount of insulin.
When I came back to Singapore, I will still buy cheesecake to eat whenever I am unhappy with my work. Seems like the cheesecake would be able to make me feel better. Recently, my friend got me Chicago cheesecake. I took my test 2 hours later and seems like my sugar level is quite all right. However, to my horror, the next sugar test actually shot up real high! Guess the reaction of cheesecake to my sugar level is slow. Because of this, I need to monitor my blood sugar consistently for these few days to make sure it does not go roller coaster ride.
After I was diagnosed with diabetes, I have not been able to eat any birthday cake at all. I can only blow out candles, make a wish and cut the cake. The cake never went into my stomach. My birthday is coming. This time round, maybe I will treat myself again to half a slice of Chicago cheesecake :)
