GD question about splurging

My shower is today and I'm dying for a piece of cake.  I am well controlled by diet and only went over 2 times since I started testing.  It's ok to indulge for one day right?

Yup, one bad number won't hurt you.  If possible, just balance it by eating a high protein meal for lunch or something.  Enjoy your shower, you deserve it!

my shower is today as well

If there is cake I will be eating a small piece. I ate a good breakfast and before I go to have some lunch I will be eating a good snack so that I am not letting my sugar spike too badly. My mom and sister know about my GD as well as most of my friends knowing about it too so there may or may not be cake at my shower but I am hoping there is because I want some so badly.

I had a piece at my shower.  My number after sucked, even though I just had a salad with protein for lunch but I don't feel even a little bad about it. I hadn't started the insulin yet either.

I am going to enjoy something sweet for my birthday.  I asked the OB about it and he smiled and said enjoy.

do it & enjoy every bite!!  i had half of a large cupcake as my "snack" at a baby shower a few weeks back and it didn't effect my numbers at all but wouldn't have been the worst thing if it had one day.  i told my ob and he was fine with it

Thanks everyone!  I blew my numbers for dinner and my fasting from my splurge, but all numbers are back to normal today.  The cake was worth it!
