I know I'm sweet - it runs through my veins. Literally. I found out that my blood glucose levels were a little higher than my doctor was comfortable with, so I had to minimize the sweet treats that I often buy on Etsy, namely from a particular confectioner who makes really sweet treats with a dash of spice.
Then guess who decided to become a featured seller...
Back story:
I made my first order from Whimsy and Spice some months ago and was instantly hooked. They became my go-to place for sweet treats (with a dash of spice) and then my doctor raised concerns about my blood glucose levels and wanted to run more tests to make sure. This means more $$$ that my insurance won't cover.
Fortunately, I'm a biomedical engineer and am a certified fitness instructor, so I've taken enough classes about glucose to understand what I need to do. Minimize the simple sugars, stay hydrated, and increase the exercise. Done. I'll come back during my yearly exam and see that my blood sugar levels have decreased. Voila! Some hundred dollars and 2 hours of time saved on skipping a glucose tolerance test.
Back to the main story.
Last week, guess who decides to sit on Etsy's front page ALL WEEK and taunt me? Since I've been so good about avoiding sugar, I decided to reward myself with a sugar overdose and slowly increase my blood glucose one mg at a time. ;)
Really, when my order came in my brother and The Boy were like,
"Uh...aren't you supposed to -"
"It's my BIRTHDAY WEEK! Leave me alone!" as I lovingly hugged the box, unwilling to forfeit the goods.
So I photographed them before I indulged in a Hazelnut Whisky Sandwich Cookie.
If you are also concerned about me becoming diabetic, I assure you that I will share 2/3rds of these treats with The Boy and The Bro. Because I'm so sweet. *wink!*
