I never increased my "normal" exercise either, by the way.. and my normal exercise isn't that much. My wife is a longtime Type II diabetic, and she is fuming about it LOL... but she's also 'cautiously ecstatic' for me. I can give you the theory behind it: you had insufficient insulin to process the amount of sugar you were consuming, or you had enough insulin resistance, that you could not. As your blood glucose levels rose, your beta cells (which produce insulin) were poisoned and shut down.
However, enough of those cells survived that, once you cut off the massive sugar consumption, they came back online and started producing insulin again.
I had a similar experience, but had to cut out a lot more carbs than that. I got my A1c all the way down from 12.5 to 5.6 by watching my diet and exercising.
You have now had the experience of discovering a metabolic insufficiency -- whether it is underproduction of insulin, or inability to use glucose. Looks like you are going to have keep monitoring, and counting carbs!
