Diabetes should be managed, not controlled. This means looking at things in the terms of long term change and not worrying about each meal, realizing that you will have off days and that's okay, and that you can have some fun rather than having to worry about it all the time.
You can have the occasional "cheat" day, as long as you have actually earned it. As long as your average is below 140 you should be okay.
Try and avoid spikes if at all possible. One really high spike can undo a lot of work over the week.
You can game your average a little bit, but try to avoid it. If you know you are going to east a lot of sugar you can eat less throughout the day, for example, but don't push it constantly.There may be some ramifications, especially if you mess up the math.
Fasting may not be as good for you as you may think. The temptation to feast on carbs and sugars may be too much once you are off the fast, eliminating any good you may have done.
