We will have to agree to disagree that spiking into 8 plus is ok for health.
Although I'll agree with the 7.8 cutoff is consistent across the studies you've listed don't most of them only reference it as the 2 hour value.
Who's to say where you've peaked in those 2 hours yet according to the medical profession once you're <7.8 @ 2 hours you're good.
Pre-CGMs the only 1 hour data we had on non-diabetics came from OGTTs with multiple draws.
Only GD offer a diagnostic cutoff at one hour which I believe is 180mg/dl or 10mmol/L.
Although we differ on the definition of an allowable spike I hope we can agree on hyper insulin & the role it plays in inflammation & obesity feeding this viscous cycle.
I'm glad you mentioned Kraft, I'm aware of private labs in the US offering his insulin assay.
I'd love to have one done.
All the best
