I was excited when I read about the ice cream for evening snack, too. It's become one of my favorites and I can't believe my number is always lower with ice cream than with apple and peanut butter...crazy!
Wait, I feel dumb because I thought that would be the WORST snack... Ice cream is my absolute favorite and I've been avoiding it! Are you saying I can have it? Do you eat a certain kind? Is frozen yoghurt better?
THIS WOULD BE GREAT NEWS...

Dear God, Since I couldn't hold my little one in my lap and tell him about you, could you hold him in your lap and tell him about me?
Yay! Glad it works for you too! I love my icecream and was sooo happy to find out that it makes my fasting numbers lower!
SoxFan- I started with frozen yogurt because its "better" for you. However, it didnt help my numbers. I needed the full fat and full sugar good ol' normal icecream!
Hello! I would also like to know what ice cream you ate! How many carbs are you allowed in your evening snack? Right now I'm only allowed 1 carb, and when I ate the ice cream equivalent (1/2 cup Breyers Regular Vanilla ice cream with walnuts as a protein), I didn't notice my fasting number improve - it was just right at the border like normal (however, it might have been the day). So, I'm interested in knowing how much you were able to eat and what kind. I'm hoping to avoid the artificial sweeteners that come in CarbSmart ice cream!
I am allowed 2 carbs for my evening snack. I had 1 cup of blue bunny vanilla ice cream. I ate it at 9:30 and took my insulin shot, I got up at 7 this morning and my sugars were at 77.
1/2 cup is worth 1 serving of carbs, so with the 1 cup I get my 2 servings. It was delicious and was happy to see my fasting number this morning.
Enjoy ladies! It's worth a shot.

I am allowed 1-2 carbs for night time snack. I usually eat Bryers vanilla, Bryers checkered flag, Edy's orange sherbet, or Giant brand mint chocolate chip. I don't measure to an exact amount but I get about 1 cup worth or a little less each night. I also drink a glass of milk each night with my snack.
I dont eat a protein with snack either. I was finding that I was getting a higher number when I added a cheese stick, or hard boiled egg.
I was going on insulin at night on Tuesday if my fasting numbers didn't improve and I am happy to say that my Reeses Klondike bar has me in the 80's! So crazy!
