I would go for the berries with whipped or clotted cream unless the icecream
has no added sugar.

But "berries" may well mean no more than 1/3 to 1/2 cup of berries.
Measured. Not eyeballed. Don't think that because berries are fruit that
eating more than a small serving is necessarily acceptable in terms of BG
levels. There is no way he can tell how berries affect him unless he tests
after eating them.
