Good evening everyone
I have note about protein and type 2 this is my experience
It seems that whenever I eat a high-protein meal. Such as meat, eggs and fish. My blood sugar rises more than usual why ?

In my study of the problem I found that the protein needs a long time until the process of metabolism. So I decided to avoid any protein before 6 pm

Is there another explanation ?
 
If you eat low carb, your body gets the tiny amount of glucose it does require from protein in a process called gluconeogenesis in the liver. So your protein meal will cause a rise in blood sugars, over several hours. As a low carb type one, I take insulin for this, at half the amount I would for carbs, and over 2-4 hours on my pump, depending on the protein source.

Hi. It sounds like you are doing the right things. From your readings your BS is quite good. Protein will ause a small rise in BS. If your HBa1C goes too high then you may need some meds.

Can you clarify - you eat meat alone or with something else? What do you mean "but I eat everything"?

What do you drink with your meals?

And how much does your blood glucose rise after eating meat alone?

So can you give an example with more details (i.e. when you ate some meat without anything else: what kind of meat, how much meat, what was your blood glucose rise 1 hr after, 2 hours after, how long before it was back to pre-meal levels)?
