Read Gabe Mirkin on high insulin levels in the blood..def not good for one..
There is also something I read about the size of the first phase response of insulin action, being somehow tied to the amount of carbs in the previous meal...meant to delve further but forgot..anyone else heard of that?
FWIW I have noticed the same thing, if I am going to eat a reg dessert as long as it is with a meal, I don;t seem to need quite as much insulin as I expect..
