| Debbie Sue,
Don't perform intense exercise with highly elevated blood sugars (usually above 200 mg/dL). As others have pointed out, our bodies consider these levels toxic and intense exercise can make things worse. Light exercise can however be restorative. Light walking should be fine. It will help burn down your blood sugar levels, just don't elevate your heart rate by an marked measure.
If you had a stack of pancakes with syrup, a bagel and a glazed donut for breakfast, you may not have made the best dietary choice for a diabetic. Tomorrow, have a cheese omelette with ham and see what your blood sugar is.
