Your insulin will spike but this is not necesarily a bad thing.

How many calories, 300???

The "large" amount of carbs will increase your insulin levels, yes, but so will protein to a lesser degree.

If your insulin does not "spike", you would be diabetic You should be more concerned with the overall picture, what are you eating during the day? how much you excercise? are you really pushing yourself? etc....

Your insulin will spike but this is not necessarily a bad thing. The only time you want high insulin levels is PWO. The rest of the time, a moderate, constant level of insulin is desirable, not only for BBing, but for your health.

If your insulin does not "spike", you would be diabetic Um, no. Diabetes is advanced insulin resistance. It means your cells are not receptive to insulin, so your body must produce more and more of it to get the same effect. You should be more concerned with the overall picture, what are you eating during the day? how much you excercise? are you really pushing yourself? etc....

The best way to regulate insulin is by eating balanced meals, and not just carbs alone. Eating protein with carbs will slow the absorption. Fat will also do the same. By eating a balanced meal, you will significantly slow the absorption of glucose, thus moderating the insulin response, which is what you want... except during PWO.
