<\/div>\n

In November of 2019, I had a bit of a mishap with some chocolate. I\u2019d been eating the \u201chealthy\u201d dark chocolate for years, as it generally has less sugar that the milk kind (though that\u2019s not always true) and mindlessly ate some from my freezer.<\/p>\n

The dark side of chocolate: my bG meter shot up to almost 200!<\/p>\n

Uh oh.<\/p>\n

I posted about my experience:<\/p>\n

November 24, 2019<\/i><\/p>\n

So posting for accountability\u2026<\/p>\n

I accidentally broke my shiny, new bG. Last night, I pulled a dark chocolate bar out of the freezer to eat a few squares before I fixed my salad and then noticed my bG had shot up to nearly 200. It wasn\u2019t the normal dark chocolate I buy, and is now in the trash. This morning, my bG is still at 158.<\/p>\n

Someone had posted about making a similar error recently, so you\u2019d think I\u2019d have checked the package, but I didn\u2019t. When I did, it went straight in the garbage (Steve doesn\u2019t eat dark chocolate, only milk chocolate).<\/p>\n

No real side effects, in that my weight didn\u2019t go up and I don\u2019t feel physically bad. Also don\u2019t feel emotionally bad, as it was an accident, not a cheat. I do feel a bit foolish though.<\/p>\n

Also somewhat irritated, I\u2019d gotten my 7-day average bG down to 107. It\u2019s at 110 now and likely still climbing.<\/p>\n

My 90-day average is at 124, and won\u2019t climb as fast, so likely my blood draw on Monday will still show a hugely improved A1c.<\/p>\n

I did briefly consider a bit of insulin to knock it down, but remembered\u2026 insulin causes insulin resistance. That would be going backwards, not forwards.<\/p>\n

So just decided to start my weekly fast a day early to fix this screw-up as fast as possible. Coffee and water today, tomorrow, not sure for how long, we\u2019ll see what the bG does. At least a few days.<\/p>\n

As Sarah says, I\u2019m making the next best decision.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the ensuing comments, someone asked how healthy dark chocolate could be that bad and I pointed out that it had WAY more sugar than the stuff I ordinarily buy. It had been picked up from a discount store on the basis of being \u201cdark chocolate\u201d and when my bG meter freaked out, I checked the nutrition facts and it said 19 g carb, with 2 fiber, for 17 net. I have no idea how many squares that was for, just saw the numbers and dumped the rest of the bar in the trash.<\/p>\n

I thought that the next time I wanted chocolate, I could just add some unsweetened cocoa to my coffee, along with the cream and stevia. It\u2019s not like I\u2019ve ever objected to mocha anyway!<\/p>\n

I also thought that if I considered this like a GTT, I could clearly see that I was still diabetic.<\/p>\n

At this time, my average weekly bG as reported by my Libre had dropped from 120 to 110 to 107.<\/p>\n

But after the chocolate fiasco, the following day it was still at 150. Some exercise brought it back down to 113, with a one-week average of 112, so that seemed to be the worst of it. Within 24 hours, I was back down to 102.<\/p>\n

Two major lessons here:<\/p>\n

Always read the nutrition facts on labels!<\/h4>\n

Just as I let \u201cdark chocolate\u201d seduce me into thinking it was OK, marketers often use the word \u201cketo\u201d to imply their product is good for us. See how many carbs the serving size you\u2019ll actually eat has before putting it in your mouth!<\/p>\n

If you screw up, fix it immediately!<\/h4>\n

I misquoted Sarah a bit in my post, what she says is: Make the next best choice.<\/p>\n

Seeing a bG reading near 200 could have discouraged me, could have led to a binge since my bG was already screwed up.<\/p>\n

But I *knew* how to fix it.<\/p>\n

Until then, my choice was always between being a diabetic with good control vs. being a diabetic with bad control. Either way, my diabetes was progressing, it was just a matter of whether I was getting sicker faster or more slowly.<\/p>\n

But with fasting, I\u2019d discovered a whole new possibility: I might be able to not have diabetes any more.<\/p>\n

That made one hell of a difference.<\/p>\n

NO chocolate is worth giving up my ability to walk with kitties<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\/<\/a>Lily\u2019s salted caramel chocolate bar (affiliate link)<\/a><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Over time, I learned about Lily\u2019s chocolate, which is truly keto, being made with stevia instead of sugar.<\/p>\n

I tried the chocolate chips, which I keep in a cabinet, and they had a weird texture I didn\u2019t care for. But I tried a bar, which I keep in my freezer, and I freaking love the salted caramel ones.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if my like\/dislike of texture has to do with storage though; you may well like the chocolate chips just fine.<\/p>\n

A half bar has 2 net carbs, and given I generally only eat a few squares at a time, that\u2019s pretty good. Even a binge of knocking off a whole bar will have minimal impact on my bG (though that\u2019s 340 calories in a whole bar, and I rarely need that many extra calories.)<\/p>\n

While the chocolate fiasco was accidental, the holidays were approaching and I was expect to host Canadian Thanksgiving for some of my inlaws. How was I going to stay on the keto wagon while preparing a carbfest?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
