It's a very interesting study. What do you guys conclude? I think that taking dates/raisin/sugar snack containing 15g of carbs 2 hours after a breakfast and not affecting blood glucose is probably because they had some already secreted insulin levels after their breakfast that helped remove the spike? or its because they are still producing some insulin because their diabetes is not old and their a1c is in pretty good range?

I am doing this research because i want to add some carbs that are not empty calories and have some other nutrient benefits and I chose the dates to try with so was just reading what the science says. Even though i read some forum discussions that dates did spike their blood glucose. So far, for me, its working fine in terms of BG spike (though i am still a little concerned how its acting on insulin levels)
This is another study to strengthen the theory: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3112406/
The below screenshots are self explanatory but you can read the full study too.
Thanks
