Resisting Temptation

Had a gathering yesterday with friends at a hip restaurant somewhere in town. The place served western food and of course not forgetting the wide variety of desserts.

While my friend are still deciding what to order for dinner, I am busy myself. What am I busy with? Testing my blood at the table. Mentioned before that I do all these tests and injection in the toilet. But this time round, I did my test not in the toilet but at the dining table. Of course, still did not do it openly, I hide my meters under the table. Well, at least, that is the very first step for me to do this outside toilet and its in a hip eating place.

My pre-meal reading was high: 15.7 mmol. Guess it's the piece of wafer I took before I left the office. Later on, I inject myself with additional 3 more units of insulin.

These are what we ordered the following for dinner:

Seabass with coconut coating and sweet potato paste

Beetroot soup (drank only a sip. they said very sweet!)

Chicken pasta (My favourite among the rest. That's also where I get my carbo. Cannot leave without it )

Sticky prawns is our starter

With my super high pre-meal readings, I eat everything in moderation. I finished up the late of chicken pasta. :)

After dinner, they wanted desserts. All desserts they have in the menu looks yummy and feels like sinking my teeth into them. Sigh! Well, I can only "admire" them from a distance. So sad. Look at the desserts they ordered:

Not sure what is this. Looks like carrot cake with ice cream. Does not look really appealing to me :)

This is mango pudding. Heard its real sweet

This is the one that I want to try. There's ice cream stuffed inside and with chocolate coated over it. Looks super yummy **slurp**

Good to see but not for my stomach. Over the years, I have mentally trained myself to resist any temptations of sweet stuffs like: ice cream, desserts and cakes (my favourite blueberry cakes). So, when I have hypo, I will hunt down places with my favourites. When people see me eating these, do not be surprised. It's because I need them!

When I reached home and tested my glucose level, it's 4.6 mmol.
