fats do not, but protein will convert into glucose about 5-6hrs after you
eat it
and it will cause a rise. some might show none, because they have enough
insulin to cover it, others might show some, others might see quite a bit of
a
rise. If I eat a 7oz steak and go to bed with a glucose of 90, unless I
combo
bolus on my pump, I'll see 200+ easy the next morning from the rise from the
converted protein.
