I would have still liked to have seen the reading 2hrs later too. Was your fbg affected?Hello, have you ever experienced a glucose level due to coconut milk?
Today I had a homemade chicken kurma made with chicken, onions, coconut milk, turmeric, ginger, cardamom and cumin. My reading rose to 9.1 (maybe higher) an hour after my meal.
Personally I think 1 hour after a meal is to soon to judge. After 2 hours is usually recommendedHello, have you ever experienced a glucose level due to coconut milk?

Hi John,Did you have anything with the Kurma. Blue dragon coconut milk is listed as having about 3.5 grams of carbs per 100ml not huge amount still every one tends to react differently where carbs are concerned I would just avoid it from now on if you feel the spike was too high or too prolonged.
Generally meals should have fat to slow carbs and protein.Hello, have you ever experienced a glucose level due to coconut milk?

To be honest I would have said that 5.8 after 2hr 20 mins is good so I’m not sure why you are concerned.Hi Ickinhun,
My preprandial reading was 5.5 mol/l
15 minutes post prandial 6.9
1h 10m post prandial 9.1
1h 30m 8.1
2h 20m 5.8
I am really confused by this because coconut milk is meant to be good for diabetics.
I shall try this same meal again on Thursday.

I am working towards keeping my BGL between 4 and 6 mmol/l with a peak of 7.8.To be honest I would have said that 5.8 after 2hr 20 mins is good so I’m not sure why you are concerned.
coconut milk is - something found inside nuts - 'good for' diabetics? not that I can fathom. I certainly would not use it for cooking - I can't see any reason to use it.Hi Ickinhun,

Coconut “milk” is made from the meat of the coconut and is the base of most Indian and Thai curries.coconut milk is - something found inside nuts - 'good for' diabetics? not that I can fathom. I certainly would not use it for cooking - I can't see any reason to use it.
Butter and avocado work for me. A heavier fat than oils. They’re slower digesting and keep things steady for me. I use one or the other or both at all meals. I have no problem eating a little Kerry gold butter off a spoon before my meal if it doesn’t fit eith the meal. I always have a wedge of avocado. The fat and fiber slow the protein and the protein slows any carbs.Hi Kristin,
What would you recommend; butter perhaps?

Thanks John, the amount of cardamom I use is very small; so I empirically discounted that from my analysis. Yes, vegetables do have some carb, so that's one source. I shall start using more butter from now on.BTW cardamom has carbs 68gm per 100gm , onion also has a small amount of carbs so your Kurma may have been slightly more carby than you thought I tend to use butter when cooking such meals.
I also think that your numbers were not too bad. Sometimes you cant be so precise as there are so many variables.
It was recommended to me and I have read various articles supporting its use in a Low Carb diet; e.g. https://ketodietapp.com/Blog/post/2016/01/19/how-to-cream-coconut-milkcoconut milk is - something found inside nuts - 'good for' diabetics? not that I can fathom.

The OP is LADA and if I understand correctly, unlike type 2, who are usually insulin resistant, LADAs don’t produce sufficant insulin so even with low carb can see spikes.
Correct me please if my understanding is incorrect
