Remember, Remember

I have decided as a new thing to my blog I am going to even specials and have you have probably guessed this is on bonfire night.

I can honestly say that nothing bad has ever happened to me on bonfire night which is unusual because it usually does, but no this one is just some top tips on how to keep warm and still have a good time whilst out and about whether you are at a big gathering or just at a small family gathering.

The first thing that comes to the top/front of my mind when someone says bonfire to me is the toffee apples and the bonfire lollies which are full of sugar but can still be had in moderation, for example if you are going to have a toffee apple try to have a sandwich with it to balance it all out and give just a little bit extra insulin as well.

The second thing that come to mind is that a diabetic person or not is still going to be out side for a lengthy amount of time in the cold, and to this I would suggest that you put extra clothes on even if you don't want to because my motto is "you can always take it off" you can never put it on and I would always wear old clothes because they will end up smelling of smoke.

The third and final thing is that you keep a check on you blood levels they could rise or drop at any point and when the temperatures drop you will find that it is harder to tell what is going on.

My final word is that have fun, keep out of trouble and don't feel like I am telling you off or being your parent because I'm not I care about you all. Please leave comments I would like to know how the night has gone.
