I found this study with impressive results and was wondering if anyone has any input?:

Results:
Results showed that postprandial plasma glucose concentrations at 15 min and 30 min after ingestion HC meal together with 100 mg GSE (5.33 ± 0.41 mmol/L and 5.62 ± 0.47 mmol/L, respectively) and 300 mg GSE (5.27 ± 0.29 mmol/L; 5.75 ± 0.44 mmol/L, respectively) were significantly lower than that of HC meal (P<0.05). There was statistically significant difference in the 2 h area under the glucose response curve between HC meal and HC meal plus GSE.
To add to this, I took 400mg GSE yesterday morning and noticed fasting levels around 0.5mmol/L lower all day yesterday but my evening meal numbers were significant.
Before eating at 8pm, I was fasting at 4.8 and after eating I was at 5.2 at 1 hour and 5.4 at 2 hours. I then went to bed and woke at 5.7 this morning.
I ate, 2 pork chops, 2 fried eggs, broccoli, cauli and carrots, a Lidl protein roll with butter followed by 4 strawberries with a large dollop of double cream, plus a glass of cabernet suavignon.
I would normally reach about 7.7 on 1 hour and around 6 at 2 hours on this kind of meal.
I am trying to establish if this was fluke, or if the results are significant so I am doing the same again today.
This morning I had no dawning, woke at 5.7 and an hour later before breakfast was at 5.4, again this is significant for me as I normally climb at least 1.0 after getting up. I took another 400mg GSE.
I ate a large handful of nuts with around 100g Greek yogurt and tested at 7.1 at 1 hour and 5.8 at 1hr 30.... Again this is significant for me as I'm very insulin resistant before about 3pm every day.
I'll be watching my evening meal numbers closely tonight.
