Well, Debaroo, I'm no expert in the subject, but when you go to the doctor to get your blood sugar levels tested, you're supposed to fast for some hours beforehand. Then you're given a sugary drink (no protein) and afterwards your blood is tested to see how you've metabolized the sugar. If sugar, and therefore insulin, levels *didn't* rise in the absence of protein, I don't see how this test could work; EVERYONE would test normal!

I've probably got this scrambled; Doreen, or other knowledgeable souls, help?
