How fast do our body secrete insulin in response to pwo pro+carb(malto+dextrose)?
I’ve tried google but all I found was some research on insulin index, which only had insulin inducing effect of different foods relative to whitebread. It didn’t tell me approximately how many minutes it took to induce the response in the test subjects(college students), just the comparison of different common foods.
I’d like to know how fast the carbs in pwo shake gets absorbed and induce insulin spike, and for how long the insulin level stays elevated until it returns to normal.
Guessing exact number will depend on individuals but just in general…
Find your self a diabetic friend who will test you before ingestion. Then retest as many times as you want, as few or as many minutes apart until you are satisfied with your answer. When you ask the diabetic to help you, make sure you tell him you will pay up front for his supplies. Yep the test meters are between chaap and free. It is the test strips and material that gets into the diabetics pocket for ever. Cash, do your share.

Yeah, give him cash… or a box of frosted flakes.
Or buy your own meter and supplies. Testing yourself is easy.
I have one, and I’m not diabetic.
