I read the article. It appears to me that they are blaming fats for the rise caused by carbs, hence they using a donut as an example. Likewise, some fat is found in protein, so they are blaming the fat for a rise, not the protein.This article in Diabetes Daily surprised me by claiming that eating fat raises bg.

I knew that protein can raise bg, albeit more slowly than carbs, but fat???
Very interesting!I read the article. It appears to me that they are blaming fats for the rise caused by carbs, hence they using a donut as an example. Likewise, some fat is found in protein, so they are blaming the fat for a rise, not the protein.
But I could be misunderstanding something. They dont appear to have looked at fat on its own, only as part of a high carb or protein food.
Try eating a chunk of butter and measuring before and hourly after then you'll know for sure if it has an impact on your BG.This article in Diabetes Daily surprised me by claiming that eating fat raises bg.

I just think it's a badly thought out article...and pretty easy to experiment with. Obviously they didn't think of that!Think they expect us to starve!
Except that butter does contain carbs, some brands more than others.Try eating a chunk of butter and measuring before and hourly after then you'll know for sure if it has an impact on your BG.
Not so easy as all that, surely? Finding volunteers to eat ONLY fat might be difficult. I'm not sure I could do it even for one meal without feeling sick, which might in itself raise my bg.pretty easy to experiment with
where did you find that? butter is made from the butter fat, with the whey (carby bit pressed out) and a bit of salt in the salted versions.Except that butter does contain carbs, some brands more than others.
the point is that ingested fat, of its very nature, cannot convert to glucose. it just cant. Stored fats in our bodies can convert to glucose, but not fats we eat.Not so easy as all that, surely?

Longley Farm Luxury Jersey Butter has 0.4g carbs per 100g. Lurpak 0.7, Anchor 0.6, Kerrygold 0.6, Wensleydale Creamery 0.6, Morrisons Organic 0.8, Morrisons Best Brittany 0.7, Président 0.5, CastleDairies Welsh 0.6, Morrisons Savers: Trace.where did you find that? butter is made from the butter fat, with the whey (carby bit pressed out) and a bit of salt in the salted versions.
Surely you'd have to eat more than just a chunk to prove anything.Try eating a chunk of butter and measuring before and hourly after then you'll know for sure if it has an impact on your BG.
Did you really eat mostly just fat? What on earth did you eat?Oh the old 'fats are bad' argument...… well when I ate loads of fat (and mostly it was just fat) I didn't have a problem with my BGs
