fruit doesn't cause insulin spike?

[Mango52]

i know for a fact that fruit causes spikes in blood sugar. Simply bacause im a diabetic. It will disperse in an hour. So ur insulin will be workin to get that sugar outa ur body

Well, it raises insulin levels, but maybe it's not as severe as a "spike"

Probably these...

nope, but I can't find it right now. Maybe it was referenced in one of those and I went and looked it up.

Those are still relevant and support my assertion though.

OK, got it.

Also bear in mind they types and assumed quantities of carbs discussed in this thread. Clearly a ****-load of carbs + small amount of protein is going to be both insulinogenic and result in higher blood sugar compared to a relatively small amount of carbs and lots of protein.

But calorie for calorie, the insulin response of apples is about the same as beef, cheese (casein), and fish. And anything with a bit of whey is going to me far more insulinogenic (e.g. milk, yogurt, CC etc..).

Check out the glucose vs. insulin response of the yogurt.
