Not necessarily: Depends on how many empty calories you used to eat. Had patients who drank 6 cans of soda a day-that's 900 calories/day! just from soda. Cut it out and weight dropped off. Would suggest increasing walking (at least 1/2 h/day, even if split up)-helps maintain muscle mass.

Why does my blood sugar go up when i don't eat? Also after a 60 - 90 minute walk? It sounds counterintuitive. Goes up from 80 to 100. Not taking meds.

I failed my 1 hour glucose test than I ate a very low carb/low sugar diet for a week & passed the three hour test. Could this be considered cheating the test? My 3 hour results were, 74 at fasting, 172 after an 1 hour, 125 at 2hours, & 105 at 3 hours?
