I think the “experts” thought they knew but CGM is showing they really don’t know.
Sometimes my blood glucose will be high-ish like maybe 135. Then if I drink some coke, ie pure sugar, it causes my blood glucose to spike and then my insulin kicks in and it drives it back down to 110-120. It’s as if the switch to turn on the insulin wasn’t turned on because there was a slow steady creep up of blood glucose and then it needed to be woken up.
The body sure is strange but one thing I do know is that CGMs are changing things for sure.
