Your meal contained about 60g of carbs.
Yes there was recent reports that natural fats are generally no longer the bad guys, and that Omega3 oils are better than Omega 6 oils, Sat fat does not = lardy tum in fact the opposite when used with keto dieting. So the cream is ok, but the effect of fat in general is to slow digestion down, so spikes happen later and longer than expected. This makes life for people bolussing for meals a tad difficult since the protein bump happens a lot later, and some find that things like pizza need a second adjustment on MDI. I am not an insulin user, so I can see my 4hr PP go higher than my 2hrPP, but there is not much I can do about it since I am not so able to do aerobic exercises at my age. If my 4 hr PP is higher than my pre meal, then I do an investigation to try to fathom out why that happened, Sometimes my premeal starts higher for some reason (missing or delayed meds say or a snack) or too much protein in the evening meal. If all three are high then its smack paw time. I use two meters in parallel, so I can detect a misread.Hi Oldvatr thank you for your help. Gotta say gluconeognesis is one complicated state of affairs.Since i began testing my blood with the meter i have never been lower than 4.9 and i am mostlly in the 5's. In the meal in question there was fat in the sausages and the cream, plus the oil in frying. would that be so high? I am a bit confused too about the strawberries and cream, loads of people on here seem to swear by it as fat being good and strawberrys in smallish portions low carb. Btw what is the name of the sausages you buy nowadays in Aldi?
I am lucky in that I have recovered some of my insulin response, and can handle some bread now. I use a multiseeded loaf (not wholemeal per se since these tend to have had the good bits processed out of the flour, and act like white bread) and for me the Aldi batch loaf fills the gap nicely in terms of my response to it, and also in price. The Hovis 5 seeded load is a reasonable alternative for me. Sadly the Lidl protein rolls look like they have been phased out now.
Could this be due to gastroparesis / delayed stomach emptying? I think it is in my case, and Dr Bernstein says gastroparesis is a very common complication from having high bgs over a period of time. He also says it can be reversed with normal bgs, but will likely take years. I am living in hopes!
I do not suffer that, and this is only an occasional effect I see, and is usually due to to fat digestion slowing things down, But reports I have read about metabolism say that protein takes longer to digest than carbs and anyway the process of gluoneogenesis takes time too since it is not very efficient. It also tends to be more pronounced at night since that is when proteins get used for cell repair rather than energy, as is relevant to my diet regime.
