So the really rigorous way to do this would be I'd put a catheter in your arm and I would sample your blood every 30 or 60 minutes over the course of a day while you ate. And I'd integrate that function and there would be an area under the curve of insulin, and that's actually the number I care about. But since I can't do that outside of a research setting, I rely on these other proxies.
