Fat and blood glucose

Although fat does not have carbohydrate, it may affect your blood glucose level. Your blood glucose can be

normal two hours after a meal with high fat foods. However, four to six hours later your blood glucose will

increase. That is because the fat slows down the rate the carbohydrates are absorbed in that meal.

Foods with fat include:

• margarine • oils • mayonnaise

• salad dressing • nuts • fried foods

• butter • sour cream • whole milk

• cream cheese • bacon • high fat meats

Doctors and health experts suggest that all people, with or without diabetes, eat less total fat—namely less

saturated fat. If you have high cholesterol or are trying to lose weight, it is key to limit the amount of fat

you eat per day.

There are bolus type options available on your pump that can be helpful in handling the rare high-fat meal.

Before using bolus type options, you should be at ease using basic pump features and consult with your

healthcare professional.

Protein and blood glucose

Protein has little effect on blood glucose when eaten in moderate amounts, and normally does not require

any insulin.

Sources of protein include:
