My family is addicted to bagels. They would all have a bagel for breakfast everyday if they were in the house. As a diabetic this is clearly not a good choice for me, but I've learned how to cut a sliver off the bagel (careful it's not so easy) and enjoy a quarter of one every once in a while.
Bagels today have over 50 carbs each and I know you can't just take half, can you? It's tough to do and the fact is that if you are going to eat a whole bagel, you may as well have a donut or two. Why? Simple, because as a person with diabetes you are going to be spiking your blood sugar in the next 30 minutes and if you are going to do it with a bagel, you may as well aim for a diabetic coma and really enjoy your sin :)
OK, maybe that's a little over the edge. After all most of us won't slip into a diabetic coma after a bagel or donut, but your sugar will become uncontrollable and you will pay for it. If you really want to cheat ask yourself if you are prepared to deal with the consequences of high blood sugar.
If you become sleepy when your sugar spikes, make sure you have your night cap on.
