So how exactly does fat influence carbs?

Hi!

So I already know that fat delays blood sugar spikes from carbs.

• Does that mean that my blood sugar will rise more gradually instead of spiking or is the blood sugar spike still coming, just delayed?
• If it rises more gradually, should I ideally always eat something with fat as well, if I plan to eat a larger amount of carbs?
• Also, does that only count for carbs? If I eat very little carbs, protein is going to raise my blood sugar as well, right? Does fat delay those blood sugar spikes as well or is it only affecting spikes coming from carbs?

Rice for example makes my blood sugar shoot up like crazy, even if I only eat small amounts, would it be better to eat something with lots of fat, maybe Salmon, with it? Would that actually help against spikes or just delay them a bit?

I'm still newly diagnosed so I'm sorry if that's a super basic question.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! c:
