The increase in carbs after fat/protein could be from your liver from glucose strores if it happens soon after eating. When you eat those things you may be releasing insulin, dropping BG and then your liver releases to make up for it.
I can see little blips throughout the day on my libre when I am not eating. Once it starts getting to the low fours it blips up again to around 5. Quite consistent each afternoon it is interesting to watch!
On the original premise yes of course it is a progressive disease! As everyone ages their insulin resistance increases and beta cells die off. The key is to keep enough function to not go to far down the road becoming diabetic. As to how we all progress it depends on how far along we are when diagnosed and how it is managed. If you follow the standard advice you will have the standard outcome!
