Higher at 2 hours than 1 hour post meal..

[Cocosilk]

My husband made a meal that I didn't join him in eating because half of it was mashed potatoes. The other half was a baked sauerkraut (cabbage) with onion and bacon and sausages,

My husband had about 2 whole potatoes worth of mashed potato and the cabbage part is rather oily apparently. He's not diabetic as far as we know.

I didn't measure before this meal but I would assume he was either in the 4s or maybe low 5s.
He fell asleep after eating, which is why I wanted to check.
1h he was 5.6mmol.
2h he was 6.3mmol.

Last time I randomly checked his blood glucose levels it was also after a meal with mashed potato (2-3 whole potatoes) and slow cooked chicken gizzards and onion.

Before 5.6
1h 7.3
2h 5.4

Was the slow rise the second time due to the fat/oil content or is this a slightly diabetic response??

His father had (we think T2) diabetes so I wanted to check his sugars periodically since I'm still checking mine.

My post prandial readings are almost always higher after 2 hours than 1 hour due to the fat content of my meals. The numbers you’re quoting don’t look concerning at all.

Oh wonderful, thanks for the feedback!

That is thee advantage or disadvantage of fat in a meal.
Fat slows digestion so glucose is digested slower too. Fat at the right level for yours/husband's purposes would be my advice.
