Biscuits



Lightweights on here man - a whole chocolate cheesecake covered in peanut m&ms for me! Not every day mind ;):D

I know it's not biscuits - double pack of custard creams are my favourite in one hit.
 
I like double deckers

I’ve never eaten a full packet of biscuits in one go
 
Yes!

I was a biscuit addict but started feeling unwell earlier this year. Got checked out at the doctors and they found my blood sugar was too high. It was borderline type 2 diabetes but not high enough to be diabetes. That gave me a shock. Gave up the sweet stuff and went back to the gym. Got tested yesterday and I'm back to normal levels now, but I'm still only eating biscuits and sweet stuff occasionally as I don't want diabetes.
I have often wondered whether craving sugary food itself is a symptom of diabetes, or at least temporarily low blood sugar levels.

Usually at 5-6pm I am tempted to stuff my pyatt with sweets and chocolates.

It's linked with insomnia. I forget the names of the hormones but one controls how hungry you feel and one controls how full you feel. They go a bit mad if you're not sleeping well and tell your brain that you are starving hungry and but you never feel full. You crave sugary food as it's a quick fix as your body thinks it is starving.

The diabetes symptoms were bad headaches, being thirsty all the time and drinking a lot, then peeing a lot including waking up a couple of times in the night to go.

Never risk it for a biscuit!
