Was there sugar/carbs in the stir fry sauce perhaps? What have his numbers been like lately? How long has he been diagnosed?

Was it 9.8 when he woke up, and was the reading of 8 taken two hours after he ate?
 
Something like 50% of protien can turn into glucose - maybe this is partly a portion control issue?

Yes there was a little egg noodles in stir fry and prawns had breadcrumbs on them. ...next reading was taken 2 hrs after eating bacon and egg breakfast ....he was diagnosed about 2003 ....I am trying to stabilise the blood sugar with diet ...

Your are getting there, the breakfast is nice and low in carbs. There is a good book called Carbs and Cals which has photos of foods and their carb values. You may find it helpful.
