Study on Insulin and Glucose Response

[Kaladryn]

This study is excellent, it compares plasma glucose response to insulin response. MUCH better than glycemic index, which just looks at glucose response. Unfortunately, there is a limited list of foods tested.

There is a very good reason the insulin index was discontinued almost immidiately after it was created, and that's because it's useless. Add fat, fiber, and protein and you get a completely different outcome. Even if there was an accurate way to measure insulin levels I don't see how it pertains to healthy individual's, although it might help insulin dosage among diabetics.

Exactly.

Best thing to do is buy a blood glucose meter and find our for sure, or at least pretty close to accurate.

Cool study Kaladryn, thanks for posting. Look at those numbers for jellybeans! Who needs slin when you have jellybeans?!

I disagree that it is useless, and adding in fiber/fat/protein should consistently lower it, so the numbers are still valid.

This study is bs and proven wrong that's why like some said above its been discontinued .

I would be interested in knowing what aspects of it are flawed and how they are proven flawed?

So if you were taking exo Insulin, wouldn't you want a higher insulin score food to "soak up" the insulin injected? For example, if you ate 50g of bran flakes vs 50g of white bread, the white bread would provide more to "soak up" by the insulin injected than the bran, would it not?

Pretty awesome, much appreciated, thanks for sharing.

Go shoot insulin and go eat some baked beans tell me how it goes, better yet go eat some steak lentils and wash it down with some milk.. Those are some of the highest insulin responses yet they don't raise blood sugar because 1 they have fiber or fat which makes there gi extremely low if any at all. So how and why are you secreting more insulin on these foods if its not spiking blood sugar? You see why it got discontinued

And I actually gave your posts credibility , I looked up
To you reading your stuff

So according to this, what is the most optimal food source to consume with Insulin? (Potatos?)

Nice study. But basically Foods with higher GI index have a higher insulin response..
