But then it will affect how the glucose is absorbed & may explain why some see higher fasting readings.

There was a few articles in 2013 how dietary fat can effect bg levels and insulin requirements, here's one of them:

A couple of months after diagnosis my FBG went up from 4.8 to mid 5. Then later on it went down to low 4. On the same high fat diet. Confusing, isn't it?

My bedtime, fasting and pre-meal levels started to creep upwards. I have reduced my carbs a little more (down from 60g to 50g) and increased my fats even more to compensate for the loss of calories as I need to gain weight, not lose it. Within a week my fasting and before meal levels have gone back down to normal again. Very confusing

Once again it's down to how much is consumed. Getting the right balance.
But yep it's confusing.
Balance is the key, same with most things.
