Physical not helping?

Yesterday morning, my BG after breakfast went from 7.4 to 11.2 /12.1 ,
went for one hour of walk/light jog, happily saw BG dropping down to 6.9;
but it lasted only a short while, as it bounced back in an hour to 11.3.

I guess that I need quickly to find another way to deal with the problem?

It's not about exercise; you can't outrun a bad diet. https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html might help. But I'm guessing you had a carb heavy breakfast. (Banana's? Porridge? Bread or cereal?)
 
Assuming type 2, and assuming your pancreas is still able to put up a decent fight, then so long as you stop putting glucose in, and keep burning off what’s already in your body, then things should eventually settle down in the fullness of time. But the key thing here is to stop putting the glucose in, so diet is everything...
 
What did you eat for breakfast? The main reason you'll see high glucose levels if you're a T2 is that you are eating too many carbohydrates for your body to easily cope with:
high carbs --> high glucose levels​

Thanks. I figured that smaller portions with little CHO the better.

Small or nonexistent portions of carbohydrate, maybe, but you won’t be doing yourself any long term favours if you go down the ‘little-and-often’ road of eating. That will just keep insulin levels high more of the time. The greater the gap between meals, the better chances your body has at recovery. Up to you of course.
