Such an important point about the dose–response pattern. GI/GL behaves far more like a dimmer than a switch. The metabolic load compounds as spikes become higher and more frequent. Your note on shared pathways resonates too. Once vascular dysfunction, inflammation, and insulin resistance begin overlapping, the downstream effects extend well beyond diabetes alone.
On a personal level, removing refined wheat/gluten for a period made a striking difference for me, leading to steadier energy, fewer cravings, and far less of the spike and crash cycle.

Appreciate you adding this layer.
