Was he drinking beer? If so, I think the answer may be yes.

I have only just started testing myself so I haven't really got a handle in it yet but I do know that alcahol can have an effect on blood sugar and can in some instances raise them xx

I looked through your past posts and saw that your husband was not yet on medication. Has he seen the nurse yet?

Yes, drinking can make a difference, but as others mentioned it depends on what he drank.

Has your husband actually made any changes in the last 4 weeks, or is he continuing the same things he's always done? Obviously, nothing is going to change if that's the case.
 
My hubby was diagnosed around 5 weeks ago and has drastically changed his diet, and takes regular walks even though he's 73. He has recently started eating Protein Bread from Waitrose (LoveLife) and this has made a real difference to his levels as the carbs in it are very low.
