[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1774439, member: 94045"] Firstly, protein takes eons to digest, maybe 24 hours or more. It will not show up as glucose straight after a meal. In fact, in most people it doesn't show up at all other than in the absence (or near absence) of carbs. In 4 years I have never noticed a rise due to protein, and I eat a lot. Rather than tell us the number of grams of carbs/protein, it wiould help if you told us the actual food. Not all carbs are equal. Some digest quickly. Others digest slowly.. Some will have peaked well before your 2 hour reading. Others may peak after it. The amount of fat also makes a big difference. No fat = faster higher rise. The contents of every meal make big differences. Fibre also plays a part. [/QUOTE]
