I'm just wondering if anyone has read any studies that show what insulin levels do when we have a late spike after eating fat and carbs together.
I still allow myself one roast potato with roast meat sometimes but today I was naughty and had 2. My 1h reading was 6.3mmol and my 2 hour reading was 8.2mmol, then before 3 hours I was back to 5.6mmol.
I can see the curve of the blood sugar and but wonder what the insulin curve looks like in these cases.
Would the amount of insulin produced be the same if I ate something that gave me a blood glucose spike of 8.2mmol at the 1 hour mark and went back to 6.3mmol at the 2 hour mark? Or do these late spikes need more insulin to control the blood sugar?
