I like the idea, even if everybody else hates it. The first thing that we all do on diagnosis is go looking for numbers. They aren't there or at least at the fidelity we are looking for. In the absence of a large controlled trial, citizen science might actually provide a ballpark.
I am a scientist, numbers and test conditions are what I go looking for. So what is the average or SD response to sugars? My practice nurse told me yesterday that blood sugar levels of 7 or 8 might be normal according to the research she had read. There is a thread somewhere on here about the Libre Freestyle it links to one solitary non-diabetic who tested his response to different carb laden stimuli. Even if it is a totally randomized self selected trial it provides a ballpark that follow on work can use.
