According to Dr. B, short-term high bg's have a cumulative effect. "Normal" people do not have readings that high, even after eating much more sugar than you do. (I've tested my wife a few times!)
The bad effects will be small, or postponed to late in life, if you do this rarely, but the more often you eat sugary foods, the more likely you will have complications later in life.
For me, I try to find low-carb sweets to eat when I have cravings. Some of the new low-carb ice creams are really good, and have almost no effect on my bgs. My current fav flavor is Blue Bunny Butter Pecan. My kids even love this!
