This is a great read for anyone who needs to understand their diabetes and hyperglycaemia. It cleared several of my questions that I always wondered based on my experiments.
In particular the affect of GLP and incretins over the stimulation of insulin secretion was an interesting read.

However, I still have one question that i can not find a satisfactory answer so far, so what are your personal experiences or guestimate on it. The question is at what blood glucose level your endogenous insulin (first response) releases? I notice in my case that my BG regulation is mainly managed by my endogenous insulin (second phase response). Its only when my BG reaches close to 7 mmol that the first phase insulin gets released and i am guess it because that is the point where it goes back very quickly. However, when its in mid 6's, its always slow to go back into 5's.
Happy reading.
