Maybe we can blame it on the eclipse? I also had a food problem yesterday. It was my own fault because I was the one who caved a week or so ago & bought Atkins M&M type candy when it was on sale. And I really do know better. I can't eat just one! But yesterday I had one, then another, until all 5 bags were gone.

I was SO sick. The sugar alcohols really affect me - stomach pain, gut cramps, diarrhea. I wrote it all down in my food diary so I won't forget (I remember better if I write things down). If I'm tempted again, I just have to flip back and read what I went thru.

I'd be better off eating sugar - at least then I can take glipizide to help lower my BG. Since the sugar alcohols spike my BG anyway, I still had to take the glipizide, along with the anti-diarrheal pills.
