Diagnosed about a month ago, I have been strictly low-carbing and have managed to get my levels down to around 5 pre-prandial and 7.4 post-prandial.I suppose I got a bit cocky on it and decided earlier this evening that, after going for a two-mile walk, I would treat myself to a much-missed ice cream from a local Italian cafe. It was absolute heaven! However, an hour later I decided to check my BG to see if I had got away with it - it was 17.4! I waited another hour and checked again - 10.1.
My question is, does this mean that, like bread, ice cream is now definitely off the menu? Or could it perhaps have been something to do with the two-mile walk I had just completed? My usual distance has been about a mile so I had definitely been pushing myself with the distance and also the speed - I tried to walk as fast as I could. I know some people are affected by exercise.
Should I just try the two mile walk again, this time without the ice cream at the end? Or - and I have to admit this idea is more appealing - should I just try the ice cream again and forget the walk?
