    I’m extremely fascinated and this is pertinent to my work so I’m going to thank you for it now (because it’ll take me a day or two to have time to really give it a good look.)

      Oh, cool! Like you said, the speed of absorption is a minor distraction from the greater point, which is that all carbs are essentially sugar. Slower absorption does help people with T2, but mainly eating fiber and protein makes more of a difference than the base carb source. This is just what I recall from researching this topic when I got type 1 a few years ago, and my main focus was on the most efficient way to treat low blood glucose.
