Well, after a GP consultation to discuss recent blood test results (which have shown my HbA1C to be well below the level at which I would be diagnosed as even pre diabetic*), I treated myself to a smidgen of sugar on last night's afters pancakes, along with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Main course included crispy veggie pancake rolls (which were going to be lunch but since they were veggie, we shared them for supper).
*Being kept on the Metformin for another month until another set of bloods but then will hopefully be drug free! Only a week or so to go on the other one which was a standard post brain op dose of an anti epilepsy drug. Fortunately, neither has shown any side effects in/on me, although the steroids and an anti ulcer med (another prophylactic, this time to counter any possible side effects from the steroids) didn't half make me itch for a while!
