I remember that date because I just came back from a mini vacation and was diagnosed the next day. I was at a theme park and I purchased a &quot;meal deal&quot; ticket which allowed me to eat all the food I cared to eat for the whole day! The night before that I went to Olive Garden and had about 6 breadsticks followed by a huge plate of pasta! Oh ya, I had some triple chocolate brownie cake thing for desert. I suppose it was my swan song to sugar and high carbs.<br \/>\nWell, since October 12th my eatings habits have changed dramatically and I am happy to say I am doing much better and, bonus, I have lost 38lbs. I am so glad to find this forum to share with others the trials and tribulations of diabetes, Bless you all.
