I messed up
So just 2 weeks ago or so I shared a news that my a1c was down to 5.5 from 9.4 back in December. And so I let myself go and drank two bottles of red wine on New Year's eve after cutting off booze completely in September. Not only did I have panic attacks and couldn't sleep yesterday, my finger prick test today came out to a whopping 12.8mmol/l (230mg/dl) 2 hours after breakfast. The same breakfast that normally doesnt put me above 7mmol/l (126mg/dl). After eating dinner my test is now down to 8.2mmol/l (142mg/dl).
I feel shit about myself and am filled with regret. Hopefully it wont destroy all the effort I put in the last 3 months and this massive spike is only "temporary". Lesson learned I guess. Never again.
