Blood sugar is the body's way of getting energy to all its tissues, so they can survive. Anything you eat with calories (energy) will turn into blood sugar, including meat.

But some things turn into sugar more quickly than others. The GI (Glycemic Index) is partly a measure of how quickly a particular food is turned into glucose in the blood. Meat is pretty low on the Glycemic Index scale and thus pretty slow and steady being turned into glucose. If your pancreas can produce even a reduced amount of insulin, meat should not raise your blood sugar all that much.

Sweets and simple starches (like bread) are at the opposite end. They're converted to glucose very quickly, producing a spike in blood sugar within minutes, which can strain a diabetic's pancreas.

What do you do if you have man that have high blood sager and does not went to see the doctor?

Try to keep him from eating foods which contain a lot of sugar or easily digestible starches. In other words, avoid not only pop, cake, cookies and other obvious sugar sources, but also white bread, white rice, potatoes and pasta. All of these will cause blood sugar spikes and may bring on hyperglycemia. Instead, eat fruit and vegetables. High protein sources like meat do not contribute to blood sugar problems.
