Due to the margin of error with meters, 173 and 180 are pretty much the same
thing. And keep in mind that the body is the most insulin resistant first
thing in the morning. So he may be able to tolerate potatoes later in the
day. Or me may not. Potatoes work for me but I seem to be the odd one out.

As for the fruit, that really varies. For many, things like bananas and
oranges are the worst. And berries are the best. Grapefruit is usually
pretty harmless too.
