Nausea dizziness

The only way to know would be to test your BG levels with a finger prick.

It might be nothing to do with diabetes and you could just be coming down with a vomiting and diarrhoea bug. There is certainly a lot of that going about.
 
Welcome to the forum @Scottish_lass

Sorry to hear you had a bit of a funny turn after your ice cream.

It’s not easy to be sure whether any sensations you get after eating are due to changes in glucose levels without checking with a meter. And confusingly rapid changes of blood glucose in either direction can trigger symptoms which sometimes overlap.

It feels like you had a feeling that ice cream may not have been the best choice for you? Maybe your worries about that made you extra sensitive to your body’s reactions?

For me, eating with diabetes is almost never about completely avoiding any one thing forever. I find it much more helpful to feel able to eat anything, but to choose the portion size, and frequency, to help my diabetes management.

So some things I will hardly ever have, or only have in small quantities.

And other things I would have once considered a ‘treat’ I’ve since decided actually aren’t all that nice, and can happily be avoided. Eg some of those dry powdery factory-made cakes in packets, which are objectively not very nice at all.

If I want a rare treat every so often I’ll have a nicer version, and not very much. 🙂
