glucose is more than 120-130 mg/dL and insulin is more than 30 uU/mL with 75 g Glucola
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
at one hour following a 75 gram Glu Cola challenge... at one hour for a reasonably muscular male I'd like to see the glucose below 120 or maybe at a max 130 milligrams per deciliter in the insulin below 20 or 30
at two hours I like to see the glucose back down to below 100 milligrams per deciliter and the insulin ideally below 20 or potentially even only 2x what the one-hour glucose was
I want to see fasting glucose typically below 90 I want to see one-hour postprandial below 120 to 130 depending on the amount of muscle mass the person has and I want to see two-hour glucose below 100
at two hours I like to see the glucose back down to below 100 milligrams per deciliter and the insulin ideally below 20 or potentially even only 2x what the one-hour glucose was
